Bummer. These cases are sad, whether it's one person or one that takes others with them as in this case.

Why do people like this insist on bringing children into the world? And conservatives want to cut off birth control and abortion funding so we can have more stories that end this way? Idiots

Yes, a woman killing herself and her kids is such a political issue. Maybe we should ban such acts (again) so they don't happen (again).

The issue is giving people the means to limit their family size if they want to. If the far right is successful, the result will be more unwanted and unloved children, who will grow up needing more of those government handouts conservatives despise so much. A totally illogical position designed to garner the support of the religious right, with no basis in morals or personal convictions for most politicians.

I smell a undergrounder

Imagine the view from your pedal stool.......proclaiming from on high that an anti abortion view is not only illogical but not even moral. WOW the depth of your argument ......I can only concede the debate to your superior progressive and open minded view.

Why does a post about a mother taking her life as well as her childrens lives have to start an argument over whose right and whose wrong about abortion and other crap that has nothing to do with this ......this is about a kid who will always be "The kid whose mother killed herself and all her other children but he survived" .............and besides stating your beliefs over a post on a forum is about as usefull as putting a honk if you love jesus bumper sticker on your car hoping to convert people...If you want to argue over politics theres another forum for that..........END RANT

Well said, unfortunately it's the way things go around here. Some posts show real compassion and other real idiocy. It's hard to tell what you will get when you start a thread.

Lots of bad thing happen in this world but it's really sad when something like this takes place.

Always my thought. I can't comprehend any parent, especially a mother, doing something like this.

Arrg. The issue is a woman's right to choose what happens to her person. NOT to abort the undesirables.

[dondarnell]

Not saying those poor kids were undesirables.

Oh yeah, and the only way to obtain an abortion and birth control is through a handout... How dare we make people more accountable for their actions. I'm not arguing on a religious front, and my beliefs are none of your business, but if you can't do the time then don't do the crime.

It is not too much to ask of people to take proper precautions. Oh, I mean every abortion is from one of the 1% control failures. Not just from a couple of irresponsible IDIOTS.

I bet you would have us spend our way into the history books.

I also live right down the road. But I am not sure why this constitutes national news.
