Associated Press reports today that "A south Texas couple put an aborted 7-month-old fetus under a Christmas tree after they were unable to flush the remains down a toilet, authorities alleged Monday. Ruby Lee Medina, 31, and Javier Gonzalez, 37, of Mission, have been charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence." It is alleged that the woman used pills to induce the abortion.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue envisions a discussion with President Obama:
Donohue: When asked when life begins, you once said that it was above your pay grade to answer.
Obama: Yes.
Donohue: But can you answer this much: Is a corpse a dead body?
Obama: Yes.
Donohue: Is it true that all dead bodies were previously alive?
Obama: Yes.
Donohue: Then if this 7-month old was previously alive, how is this abortion different from any other?
Obama: In this instance, no one was paid, the cops were summoned, the toilet was rendered inoperable and the corpse was placed in a gift box.
Donohue: That's it? In other words, there are no moral differences?
Obama: My salary doesn't justify an answer.
