Another One?

Are more men killing their pregnant girlfriends or wives? Fort Worth Police have arrested Stephen Dale Barbee, the father of Lisa Underwood's unborn baby suspecting that he murdered Lisa, her son, and their unborn baby. I guess this is another way that sex can kill.

If stories are really "equipment for living" as Robert McKee says in Story, do people with problems see a news story that relates to their situation, then replicate the behavior?

What does the National Organization for Women have to say about the issue? Killing pregnant women is an extremely violent act. Women being murdered because they chose to carry their children is a new take on the abortion choice issue, isn't it? Will feminists avoid speaking of this because of the obvious connection between abortion and unborn child killings?

I wonder also if we are seeing the result of how Americans have valued life (Or not) for the past thirty years. It would be difficult to explain the difference in how we value the life of this unborn child, an aborted child at the same term time, or a child killed the day after she was born. #1 & #3 are the most valuable lives and not legal to end. The life of #2 is not as valuable and is legal to end.

Allowing humans to judge which lives are viable and which aren't has indeed opened Pandora's box. Some people have trouble discerning such minor differences.
