This is the third baby thrown out of an apartment window to their death recently. I haven't seen any kind of media coverage of this on the TV news, seems to me like nobody really cares. Maybe if these babies were shot with a gun, there would be nonstop coverage on the news shows, then they would care, to promote an anti-gun agenda, not particularly for the dead baby.

The last one was an unwanted baby, with umbilical cord still attached...but there's still people who want to ban abortion, rather have the baby born into this world and then kill it violently, rather than terminate a pregnancy. What's going on here? Makes me sick! :mad: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/10/16/new-york-mom-tosses-6-month-old-daughter-from-apartment-window/


NEW YORK – A baby girl was thrown from a sixth-floor window of an apartment building to her death on Thursday, witnesses and police said, making her the third child killed that way in the city in three months.

Last month, a newborn girl with her umbilical cord attached was found dead outside an apartment building in the University Heights section of the borough. Authorities arrested her mother on murder and manslaughter charges, saying she hid her pregnancy and threw the child to her death from a seventh-story window shortly after giving birth.

In August, police arrested a Queens woman in connection with the death of her 1-month-old son. According to court papers, she told authorities an evil spirit had possessed the boy and she was "stopping the pain" when she threw him from a fourth-floor window.

I can recall hearing about only one of those cases on the national news. Strange there hasn't been more coverage (such as all the stories about kids left to die in hot cars).
 
If America doesn't care about 20 little kindergarteners slaughtered... at least not enough to pass gun legislation... why should a few being tossed out windows matter?

How can you say nobody seems to care? What would you suggest we do about it?
 
I suggest that they at least cover it on the news reports like they would have if the baby was shot with a gun. I suggest that people don't want to ban abortions when there are newborns being thrown from windows.

The difference SB is that we could POSSIBLY do something about the gun massacres... But as Jim said.. what can be done if someone decided to throw a baby out of a window?

I believe the "thrown" babies get the same coverage as the babies shot, at least here.

I'm not sure WHAT point you think was proven. If it's the fact that America is now so desensitized to senseless killing... then yes... Makes no difference if babies are shot to pieces or thrown out of windows.. IMO

The point that people these days are more interested in the guns, rather than the babies being killed.

I think that is the subjective opinion of a gun owner. I own firearms too, but I agree gun deaths in America are a major concern and must be addressed by some manner.
 
Some might argue rightly so that many abortions are nothing but a mercy killing. I think this women had problems other than lack of the abortion option. 4 kids in a NYC apartment could drive many crazy. Still murder no matter her rationale.

I don't think that the mother who killed her unwanted newborn had any other kids, I may be wrong. I would have rather seen her terminate the pregnancy early on, instead of resorting to this. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/30/n...-her-death-in-bronx-authorities-say.html?_r=0
 
We CAN do something about it. By voting for and pushing for politicians who want to keep abortion an option as well as free or low cost contraception being available to all. Another project that needs to be adopted nationally and better promoted, especially inner-city and far rural is Safe Haven.

Basically it's a program that is anonymous, no blame, no shame. A woman can leave her baby at any number of drop off locations. The baby is then safe with social services and the woman can go on with her life. Even if someone is a staunch conservative they might still understand why this is a needed alternative.

I agree Fureverywhere, that makes good sense.
 
There are countless thousands of babies born every year to parents who either don't want them, or can't afford to raise them properly. These kids have two strikes against them the moment they draw their first breath. Those who would ban contraception and abortion services are dooming these babies to a miserable existence.

There are already way too many people on the planet, and these growing populations are going to experience more and more hardships in the future.
 
I've volunteered at some state approved day care centers and I wouldn't tell anyone to leave their children at any of them. One since closed was a horror show with the toddlers. Half the day in their high chairs and the other half running loose in the room with maybe three or four broken toys for the lot of them. But the center stayed just under the wire on the state mandated checklist.

This was a suburban center and the owner had two other schools too. In the city it gets even more dire. Welfare to work with or without day care vouchers...women have to take their chances on who they leave their kids with. If you're working a job or three for minimum wage you might be earning a bit too much for housing or food assistance.

But then rent and childcare eat up your paychecks, then utilities, bus pass, if somebody gets sick or an emergency comes up you can end up on the street. There are many women who are hard workers and great Moms. But the system fails them. That's something that needs to be addressed too. Some concrete help to lift these families out of dead end poverty.
 
I have to agree with the liberals on abortion. I think no mother should ever have to have a baby she doesn't want and no baby should have to be born to a mother who doesn't want it. There are worse things than never having been born. With abortions being available, I wonder why those mothers didn't choose to have one.
 
Just an observation - when someone takes a gun and starts shooting people at random there is always someone who argues that they are mentally ill, on drugs of a criminal gang member - anything but a responsible gun owner.

When three women throw children out of windows no such explanations have been offered on this forum. Talk is of contraception or abortion. My concern is for the women who IMO are not likely to be heartless killers. It takes a certain kind of desperation to throw a child from a window to its death. Or an addiction to ICE.

At least one of them, according to one report I have read, seemed to have been showing some sign of mental/emotional breakdown. I haven't seen whether there were fathers involved in helping to raise their children.
