Change: Lowering The Punishment For Infanticide

This is just sick:
A Texas Democrat wants to make killing a baby a mere felony.

A Texas Democrat introduced the "Infanticide Bill" this week.
Cassy Fiano reported on this disgusting bill:

It defines infanticide as:

A person commits an offense if the person wilfully by an act or omission causes the death of a child to whom the person gave birth within the 12-month period preceding the child’s death
The bill says that infanticide should not be prosecuted as murder, though, as long as:

… at the time of the act or omission, the person’s judgment was impaired as a result of the effects of giving birth or the effects of lactation following the birth.
Infanticide would become a felony, punishable by no more than two years in prison, with a minimum of 180 days, and/or a fine of no more than $10,000.
I doubt this will get any real traction, but I think the fact that it's even been proposed is the problem. It's a sign of the culture of death, and it's been unleashed with Barack Obama in the White House. After all, he's supported infanticide before...

There's my two cents.
