Mass. Mom Kills Child, Unborn Baby: Cops

Woman was 7½ months pregnant, stabbed herself

Share

(AP) – A pregnant woman killed her 9-year-old daughter and stabbed herself in the stomach to kill her unborn child, authorities in the Boston suburb of Quincy said today. Fang Chi Xue, 38, was treated for self-inflicted stab wounds to the arms and abdomen and is expected to be arraigned on two counts of murder. She was 7½ months pregnant.

Police were called to the family home last night by a 14-year-old girl who survived the attack after suffering minor injuries. The district attorney said the 9-year-old suffered stab wounds to her wrists, but authorities are also investigating whether she was poisoned. The incident was sparked by an argument, the DA said.

You Obamaniacs are idiots. What's the difference between stabbing a 7 1/2 month fetus in the womb and leaving it to die after a botched late term abortion? 1 1/2 months. Thus, using Obamalogic, the woman should be given a medal for saving the STATE the cost of a late term abortion. Reply

..."Furthermore," NoNuts adds, "all fetuses should have guns to defend themselves."
