So where's the "pro-life" party who is supposed to be so concerned about the "unborn"? Are they trying to help this family who lost a mom and her fetus? Hmm? Crickets.
- They’d probably want to charge the victim if they weren’t already dead for causing an early termination of the pregnancy
- Same place the NRA was when Philando Castile and Breonna Taylor were murdered.
Columbus, Ohio. :(
What a great mother, stealing multiple bottles of alcohol while pregnant with no license plate on her car. If she had just made better decisions it would have never happened.
- Great victim blaming. Wanna make more crimes punishable by immediate death sentence?
  
  That didn't happen, so I don't understand your comment. She was killed by an officer who she was attempting to kill with her car, if stealing was an immediate death sentence they would have opened fire as soon as they were alerted to the theft.
- You're absolutely right, every citizen who ever makes any decision that makes another unsafe should be immediately executed. Remember this the next time you approach a stopsign, or step outside your home with no mask, or delay buckling your seat belt, or put meat on the top shelf in your fridge. All of these are absolutely damning sins. You are such a righteous and bright light of brilliant justice.
- So she deserves a death sentence? Is this medieval?
  
  To be fair, he never said that. He just was complaining that she wasn't being a responsible mother, and that it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't done that. I would say she's being very irresponsible, but wouldn't say that she needed to be killed.
  
  She chose to drive her car directly at a police officer, and so the officer predictably shot her. If she had went followed the commands of the police she'd still be alive and wouldn't be in very much trouble for quite a minor crime. She chose to escalate, and here we are.
- So she deserved to die? You probably also blame women when they get raped too.
- Things are not worth more than a human life, dickhead.
