Murder by Handgun

Milwaukee talk-show host Charlie Sykes is talking this morning about the girl who aborted her own baby. Early in the pregnancy, she couldn't afford an abortion. So when she was about 9 months along, she shot herself in the belly with a handgun. The baby died.

Now, a lot of things could be discussed. Abortion. The value of life. Depression. Society's shock (!) when a person behaves consistently with a lesson we've been diligently teaching. How judges and juries should respond when the law is clearly wrong. But I'm going to try to refrain from discussing these things, other than at the dinner table.

But Charlie made one very interesting point. This is one case where the liberals will not be against handguns.
