Chris Selley’s Full Pundit

In a very interesting piece in the Citizen, James Morton explains that Canada's infanticide law — widely seen as a get-out-of-murder-free card — was in fact designed to increase the punishment female child-killers would face, at a time when "the penalty for murder was hanging and juries, faced with a mother who had obviously killed her child, refused to convict." The Court of Appeal having recently ruled that infanticide is actually a defence against murder, it now has the opposite effect. "Rather than increase, it decreases, punishment."

Yup, and now what are all you Progressive retards going to do since this justice system no doubt shares your belief system?

You fucking maggots.

Errh, I think you miss my point -- I was criticizing the decision as being a bit soft on murder... . Unless your concern is that progressives do not go far enough in working for penalty and repentance?
