Commentary on the outpouring of support for Andrea Yates who chased her kids around the house, drowning them one by one. Somehow, concern for the children who met the most horrible fate imaginable, serial murder by your central life figure, has been overlooked.

"In many countries — including Great Britain, Canada, Italy, and Australia — infanticide laws allow women to kill their child in the first year of his or her life. Some allow the mother to kill all her children, providing that one child hasn't yet celebrated a first birthday. The killer need then only show that the "balance of her mind was disturbed" by childbirth and having a baby in the house — and what mother or father couldn't prove that? Then, the woman can only be convicted of manslaughter, rather than murder. The practical result is the child-killer ends up with probation and counseling, rather than prison."

So, are we being sexually biased for not defending the (male) Ukranian immigrant who has gone around murdering HIS family members? Obviously, he also is not in his right mind.
Should the US become like the "enlightened" European nations and marganilize infanticide?
Very disturbing issues and questions.
