Dear God

Woman Who Stole Fetus Charged With First Degree Homicide
A Milwaukee mother of three who was desperate to give her boyfriend a son allegedly hunted for pregnant women until she found one alone, clubbed her with a bat, strangled her and used an Exacto knife to steal her fetus.

The mother and fetus died, and Annette Morales-Rodriguez, 33, was charged today with two counts of murder.

What a horrible way to die, and all because someone has lost touch with things like reality and right and wrong. And the alleged murderess was a mother of three, desperate not only to give her boyfriend a child, but a boy, no doubt to carry on the name and such. I've always found this bias for boys to be inexplicable; that a child be born healthy and intelligent would be my main wishes, girl or boy. Unfortunately, this child had no chance. It chills me to think of her killing this woman, and I feel so sorry for the family who have now lost a mother/wife and child/brother.

So sad, and sickening, and wrong. I hope she gets the justice she deserves.
