Yates Case A Strong Argument
For Abortion
By James Donahue
Nov. 21, 2005
False testimony during
the murder trial of Andrea Yates, the Texas woman who drowned her five children in a bathtub in June, 2001,
has led to a decision by the First Court of Appeals to throw out the conviction.
A district attorney said
the case must now be retried and that a plea bargain may be considered.
Psychic Jennifer L. Sharpe
told Voice of Lucifer Internet radio listeners during Sunday’s broadcast that she believes the Yates case presents a
strong argument for abortion.
“She had a large
family and drowned them all in the bathtub,” Sharpe said. “She said God told her to do it. Her insanity plea was
based on a claim that her medication was not working.”
Sharpe said she worries
that Yates will be set free and allowed to go out in the world and have more children;
She said the strong right-wing
religious movement in Washington to overturn Roe Vs. Wade and put a stop to women’s
rights to abort unwanted children would be a step backward for the United
States.
Sharpe said studies have
shown that unwanted children are among the more abused children. It also has been found that a large number of the convicted
felons in U.S. prisons were unwanted children.
“It would be better
to abort the child than bring them into a world where they are not wanted,” she said.
Sharpe said the worst
case scenario in her mind would involve a case of rape that leads to an unwanted pregnancy. “A rape victim could be
forced to bear a child with the DNA of the man that molested her. She would be linked to that crime through the child for
the rest of her life.”
She said this is happening
as abortions are becoming relatively simple . . . no more severe than swallowing a pill and possibly experiencing a few
hours of discomfort.
The Christian logic for
stopping the use of the abortion pill is that if it that simple, everybody would do it.
Sharpe’s brother,
Psychic Aaron C. Donahue, says families should not be having children now because the world is already overcrowded, the planet’s
resources are overtaxed, and the Earth is dying.
He said called the Pope
in Rome an earth criminal for urging Catholic families to
have a lot of children.
