- AndersenWatcher, on 05/09/2009, -7/+144If they found the fetus in a box of baby wipes, then it was likely no more than 20 weeks old from the date of conception and delivered dead. The imbalance of hormones after birth can be extreme, and add to that the shock and grief of delivering a dead baby. We all take a balanced mental state and hormonal load for granted, but the brain is still a machine that cannot function properly under extreme stress.
No matter what she did after delivering a dead baby, the baby remains dead. Society is not served by putting her behind bars.
It is my hope that none of you ever have to walk a step in her shoes. - bovox, on 05/09/2009, -18/+109I didn't read the article yet, but I bet she's from Texas.
- byleth, on 05/09/2009, -0/+8922 years? WTF, the fetus was already dead! Yeah it's gross, but 22 years?!
- protogenxl, on 05/09/2009, -6/+92 Hello. Is this theee University of Colorado Biology Department? ...Great, uh I understand you're corrently doing research on stem cells? Kewl, because I'm currently in possession of somesah aborted fetuses that I'm looking to unload? ...Uh, how much do you pay? ...No, no, come on, ah I got a guy who's gonna give me eighty dollars a pound right now. ...How about a hundred? ...Oh you're breaking my balls- I, I'll think about it.
Bosnod Medical Group? ...Yeah, I called earlier about the stem cells and the fetuses? ...Okay, hi Randy, yeah. ...Oh yes, they've been kept in a cool temperature, yeah. ...They're suprimo fetuses, Randy, I wouldn't jerk you around. ...So what can your company give me for 'em? ...Oh Randy, you're breaking my balls here. ...Breaking my balls, Randy.
Oh plehease! Okay, you tell me where you can get aborted fetuses for seventy cents on the dollar? You tell me, Chuck? ...Yeah, I didn't think so-You know, I'm just like the fetuses, Chuck. I wasn't born yesterday, either. Uh huh. ...So are you gonna talk to me, or are we just gonna keep ***** each other? Breakin' my balls, Chuck.
I gotta unload these fetuses, you wannan do some research. Are we talkin' here or what? You're breaking my balls. ...I'm telling you, if you let this deal pass you by, you're making a fetal mistake. [suddenly grins and covers the receiver with his right hand] That's a joke [removes his hand from the receiver] ...A hundred ten. ...Alright, alright, we got a deal. ...Good bye. [hangs up and relaxes, putting his feet up on his desk and his hands behind his head] Damn I'm good. - RockSlice, on 05/09/2009, -2/+80There has to be more to this story that isn't in the article. FTA, it looks like:
>woman is pregnant.
>woman has stillborn birth
>police come when husband calls funeral home for a casket for said infant
>they arrest her because she put the *already dead* infant in the refrigerator
How about a little bit of compassion, people? This woman just gave birth to a dead baby, and you want to lock her up for 10 years? What else was she supposed to do with the corpse until the casket arrived?
BTW: article title is misleading. Her charges are 10 for the fetus in the fridge, plus 2 more for each of 6 other charges (which weren't elaborated on), served concurrently, meaning only 10 years in prison. - inactive, on 05/09/2009, -27/+9922 years for making a kidsicle is not enough.
- joeraylambert, on 05/09/2009, -3/+71Duuude - the fetus is in your fridge - eating your food .. om nom nom nom nom
- MrJohnSmith, on 05/09/2009, -4/+67She made a fetal mistake.
- inactive, on 05/09/2009, -4/+61ICE ICE FETUS
- HenryDubb, on 05/09/2009, -5/+59Am I missing something? 22 years for not keeping a clean house.
- Fhwqhgads, on 05/09/2009, -3/+50OMG is that logic I just read???
Something involving children and someone thought logically rather than emotionally? Holy *****! - zombiecake, on 05/09/2009, -2/+4622 years is not enough?! wow, do you even *have* a soul? the fetus was born DEAD. it was not a living child, or even a living part of the woman's body anymore. would you rather she kept it in a box on the kitchen table? under the sink? burned it? buried it in the yard? fed it to the dog? put it in the shed? or in the trash?? what would have been an acceptable scenario for this woman, given that she had a stillbirth at home? would you prefer she eat it, as some animals do? feed it to her other young? the parents called to find out about a casket, for *****'s sake. it is obvious that they wanted to give the thing a proper burial. WHAT OTHER CHOICE DID SHE HAVE?
you people are nuts. you all just want to send more and more people to prison for the stupidest ***** reasons. insane! - inactive, on 05/09/2009, -2/+45Me too
- MrJohnSmith, on 05/09/2009, -5/+47Win
- Joker99352, on 05/09/2009, -10/+50At first I thought this was the same woman who was told by the nurse to stick her fetus in the fridge until her appointment. This is far more disgusting, obviously, and the first woman did nothing wrong. But these kinds of people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.
- inactive, on 05/09/2009, -2/+39THE SNOZBERRIES TASTE LIKE SNOZBERRIES!
- adam07, on 05/09/2009, -3/+38dugg for kidsicle
- rotundo, on 05/09/2009, -0/+34So she had a miscarriage and she put it in the fridge. Really -- what are you supposed to do with a miscarriage? Wasn't this actually suggested by a medical professional just a few weeks ago in another digg article? Though admittedly it was a heartless suggestion...
In any case, she may indeed by a terrible mother and endangering her other children, but I don't understand why they're as 10 year penalty for putting a miscarriage in the fridge, as disgusting as it seems. - Protonz, on 05/09/2009, -3/+37I still do not see how putting her in prison will help anyone.
She is not a danger to society, perhaps to her children. This seems like a knee-jerk reaction. - jwkpiano1, on 05/09/2009, -0/+34Um, what? I'm pretty sure that's been banned. By the way, no one calls it that except opponents of it, you know. It's a completely fabricated term.
- dharmajunkie, on 05/09/2009, -2/+35Drink with this guy?
I want to vaporize with him! - inactive, on 05/09/2009, -1/+32Maybe I'm ***** up in the head, but isn't 22 years a little harsh? I mean, I understand it's not sanitary... OK. But was the death of the fetus her fault?
Couldn't it have just been something ***** up a grieving mother did when she lost her unborn baby? Maybe I'll read the article sometime. - EXTER, on 05/09/2009, -0/+30Good point.
- bovox, on 05/09/2009, -5/+34lol
- inactive, on 05/09/2009, -2/+29What a heartwarming Mother's Day story.
- Pottersquash, on 05/09/2009, -1/+28if it was still born isnt this just a case of improper disposal of human remains? I means she didnt kill it, it was dead.
- zombiecake, on 05/09/2009, -2/+26so you and every other self-righteous jerkoff at Digg should be the ones who decide who is "allowed to reproduce"? the fetus was BORN DEAD. it's not like she stuck a living baby in there.
22 years in prison is unacceptable - especially considering what happens to women in the american prison system. i would concede if you said children's services should take some of her kids and place them in foster care, and that she take mandatory classes in family planning and birth control as well as psychotherapy and perhaps community service... but prison? no. that is not a solution to these kinds of problems. that only creates more victims (the children, the husband, the mother, etc.) and further burdens taxpayers. keeping people in prison is not cheap for us, and it doesn't alleviate social ills.
(besides, how is what she did involving the refrigerator any different from the woman in the other story?)
this news story is just a blurb. doubtless there are other things about her situation that we don't know and never will. but regardless of the lack of in-depth reporting here, people are taking the wrong message away from this story. the dead thing in the refrigerator is not the problem here. the obviously poor, unwed woman with ten children is the problem. and it is a symptom of a deeply disturbed nation. so what is our answer? lock her away so we can go about our business and pretend there isn't a problem.
america, ***** yeah! - maliath, on 05/09/2009, -0/+23I live in Lubbock. When EMS arrived, they had to clean the dirt/urine/feces off of all her children (nine) before they could be loaded into vehicles to be taken to the university medical center to be evaluated.
I think the boyfriend should be incarcerated for an even longer sentence. - jfulls, on 05/09/2009, -1/+24So as a rule of thumb, where do we put the dead fetuses..?
- jfulls, on 05/09/2009, -0/+23He's not naive, he's high...
- Memnochxx, on 05/09/2009, -1/+22Really? None of us realized that. Thanks for pointing it out.
- Pottersquash, on 05/09/2009, -2/+22you can get 10 years for being filthy? I mean sure take the kids away, but I dont know this seems too much
- LeekMibles, on 05/09/2009, -2/+22me three
- inactive, on 05/09/2009, -2/+22I want to smoke with this guy...
- teemingvoid, on 05/09/2009, -1/+21nobody drinks with DyceFreak
- Tr33fiddy, on 05/09/2009, -0/+19In the UK our health "professionals" actually advise this behaviour.
http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Put_your_dead_baby_in_th ... - gethane, on 05/09/2009, -3/+21I skimmed the article and I didn't get that she killed the fetus. A baby wipe container is really small. Smaller than a newborn by half. I'm guessing it really was a stillborn/premature birth. I think the woman should have lost all her kids for the pit her house sounds like it was in but 22 years seems pretty harsh unless they can prove she killed the fetus/it was gestated enough to live with medical help. Oh, nm. I see they will be served concurrently. She'll be out in 12 years. That seems more reasonable. Of course, if a white kills someone black in texas, do they even get that much time?
- satanherself, on 05/09/2009, -2/+20Sad. A normal person doesn't store fetuses in the fridge. A normal person doesn't have 9 children by the age of 28. A normal person does not have a filthy house with roaches and *****. She obviously needs help, not a long prison sentence.
- grantmoore3d, on 05/09/2009, -0/+18Perhaps she should be going to a mental institution rather than a jail? I mean, dead babies in the fridge, fecal matter throughout the house and on her other 9 children, clearly something is wrong upstairs and it's not criminal. 22 years in prison just seem ludicrous!
- breakingwheel, on 05/09/2009, -1/+18You are correct. Well done.
- MokaPot, on 05/09/2009, -5/+22Sterilization. That's what you need. Some couples shouldn't really have ANY kids.
- duke, on 05/09/2009, -0/+16Something wrong? Like dealing with a miscarriage, wanting to give it a burial, but not having the money to do it immediately, so you do this until you can arrage the funeral? Is that worse than flushing it down the toilet like a lot of people would? Or letting it rot at room temperature? All I know is what the story said, but based on that alone, it looks like she displayed some true compassion.
- captainserial, on 05/09/2009, -0/+16According to:

Texas is just ahead of Illinois in rate of partial birth abortions. Thanks for playing! - thefarside420, on 05/09/2009, -2/+18Box it up, mail it anonymously to your neighbor, and hide behind a bush when they check the mail to see the expression on their face when they open it.
- Pottersquash, on 05/09/2009, -1/+16But he should still be rewarded for the wit it takes to think up the comment.
- alboin, on 05/09/2009, -7/+21How is it illegal that she killed her fetus this way while an abortion would have been perfectly legal?
- jwkpiano1, on 05/09/2009, -4/+17.
- compgeek, on 05/09/2009, -1/+14lmfao well done sir.
