This woman CHOSE to have a baby and microwaved it. Maybe she should have aborted.

It would have saved everybody time and money had she done so. Not to mention what the baby went thru.

Looking at the murderer''s picture, I''d say she''s a fine and shining example of the youth of today and what one political party has created. The sentence is more than this piece of trash deserves. I say death by microwaving would be very fair and just. Murderers should be eliminated by the same means they chose to eliminate their victims.

China Arnold needs surgical therapy and psychological counseling. A frontal lobotomy would seriously restore her sanity. The Judge should order the medical procedure. There is no reason to give a mother a life sentence in jail when treatment is available.

She should have been sentenced to death. Jurors really dropped the ball. Crime does pay or so it seems.

caliengineer, do you think EVERY woman in the world who gets pregnant should have the baby?

Is abortion ok in the first trimester or is it always bad no matter what even in cases of rape & incest?

Planned Parenthood doesn''t do anything good? It''s all "Satan''s" work? When people talk about "Satan" & they''re SERIOUS, look out.

Let me take a wild guess. caliengineer is either a fundamentalist Christian or a Catholic. I''m assuming a conservative Republican. Correct me if I''m wrong.

Sometimes I wonder about the intelligence level of women. Here we are in the 21st century. Not the 18th century. Quite a few birth control/contraception options available so you don''t get pregnant. Why aren''t American women taking advantage of these birth control? You don''t live in the Congo or Haiti. What''s your excuse?

Have all the s e x you want. I don''t care. That''s your business. Doesn''t affect me. Sleep with a different guy every night of the year. BUT USE BIRTH CONTROL.

If you DON''T want to get pregnant, why are you having unprotected s e x?

It''s the poorest & the least educated girls/women that are cranking out the babies like there is no tomorrow. We never seem to run out of stupid women.
They keep making the same mistakes over & over. They never learn.

It is hard to not feel pity for this poor girl when you look at her photo. She appears terribly sorrowful, and is likely full of remorse and confusion. Perhaps it would be more helpful if everyone sent prayers her way, and for the baby as well. It can''t hurt. Just look at the lost look in her eyes. She needs to be consoled!

We need stronger death penalty rules. Placing an innocent, defenseless 1 month-old baby in a microwave and turning it on is an intentional act, period. Just sick, sick, sick.

She made one mistake: She should have had a doctor at Planned Parenthood reach in with tongs and tear her babies arms and legs off 4 months before she was born. Thanks to "pro-choice" (read "my choice") selfish, sexually irresponsible, evil-loving killers, that would have been A-Okay.
Who compared killing a cat to killing a baby?? Puh-leaze! When a cat gets very sick, Animal Control "puts it down." That is NOT what the EMTs do with sick children. Thank God Satan hasn''t raised up enough sickos yet to get THAT passed. (Although I have seen they want to euthanize the depressed- it''s more humane, apparently.)

Do you ever wonder what goes through these people''s minds.. Looks at the baby, then the microwave, and thinks "Hmmmmmmmmmmm" I''m thinking her IQ level is below 75.

Life sentence for her, but a job for the guy who sucks the brains out and throws the rest away.

What another great case to highlight all the gender-bias that''s still in our court system.

Woman want equal treatment under the law.

Yea right.

Any man who would have done this would have been given the death penalty 10 times over....hell, they probably would have had him killed before the trial, put his corpse on the stand and then given him the DP.

I wonder if the posters who are outraged at the life instead of death sentence for this woman are the same posters who were outraged at the sentence a father got for killing his kids'' cat in front of them. Both defenses were the same, they were too drunk to know what they were doing...cat or baby, it is the same cruel, sick act and the same drunken excuse, so why defend one and not the other?

Susan Smith recieved 1/2 the sentance for twice the children. But Susan is a different color and deserves a lesser sentance.

What you fail to consider is that these women were tried in different states by different juries with different judges and different defense and prosecution lawyers. Even the wording of the laws vary from state to state. To blame race for the differences in the sentencing is getting old, very old, and should only happen when there is evidence that race really affected a trial.

I guess there was no man she could testify against for a light sentence for herself-quite unusual .

Gee we are really going to teach this black biiitch a lesson. Were going to feed her give her medical and keep her warm and safe from other prisoners for the rest of her life. Kind of like the welfare she was on on the outside. Best of all we get to pay for her appeals for the rest of her worthless life. Oh don''t for get rehab she will get while she is in daycare camp...

'' .. the african multi trillion dollar nuclear biological chemical stealth ray pow dare camp shock and awe soldiets assured me that if they had raped and killed all those war babys, their prisons would not be full of poor yankees and asians, but rich african soldiets instead .. ''

'' .. while no one truly demands charity deep-down, there is a subtle and undenyable and unending expectation that some things will always be inevitable: the weak will ease the burdens of the strong, the ill will fetch the errands of the well, the poor will pay the debts of the wealthy, the babys and other civilians will go through the wars with no flak jackets or machine guns so the soliets way too young and way too old and everywhere in between won''t have to .. without these timeless expectations of the way things ought to be, we''ll all suffer and die in a pit of unending despair and wretchedness worse than lucifers house and the world will collapse into cataclysm and we''ll all be dead .. ''

Attention all stupid/ignorant/evil females!

Sterilize yourselves!

You don''t want to raise a baby. So don''t have one. Tie your d a m n tubes & then tie ''em again. Burn off the ends just to be sure.

'' .. even when public education was a vandate, people were still largely uneducated and impoverished, and still had to be paid even just to travel and browse opportunitys to volunteer, lest they should curl up in some dark lonely alley cavern and just die .. ''
