It Is Ok To Kill Babies In Canada

Woman Who Killed Infant Freed by Canada's Pro-Abortion Law

A woman who strangled and killed her newborn baby has been released and will face no jail time thanks to a judge who cited support for legalized abortion in Canada, where abortions are legal and paid for at taxpayer expense.

Katrina Effert of Wetaskiwin, Alberta gave birth secretly in the downstairs level of her parents" home and then killed her baby son by throwing his body over the fence of their yard. Effert, 19 at the time of the infanticide, told the court she worried about what her parents would think of having to listen to the cries of a newborn baby in the house. Effert's parents were not aware of the pregnancy and she initially told police she had not had s-xual intercourse.

The boy was named Rodney and Effert reportedly used a pair of her own underwear to strangle him and take his life before tossing his body into her parents" neighbor's yard.

On Friday, Effert received a three-year suspended sentence from Justice Joanne Veit of the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench and, because of the ruling, she was able to go free on probation and face no time in prison for killing her child. Judge Veit issued the verdict in part because she heard testimony from witnesses that Effert faced sever persecution in prison, where fellow inmates called her "baby killer."

But part of the ruling that also has pro-life advocates troubled is Judge Veit's decision that Canada's acceptance of legalized abortion entitled Effert to kill her child. Judge Veit ruled, according to multiple media reports, that because Canada allows abortions it reflects how "while many Canadians undoubtedly view abortion as a less than ideal solution to unprotected sex and unwanted pregnancy, they generally understand, accept and sympathize with the onerous demands pregnancy and childbirth exact from mothers, especially mothers without support." Ref.
