Sarge, On this old topic.. FETAL RIGHTS: CHRONOLOGY OF COURT CASES 1996 June Brenda Drummond, a 28-year-old postal worker and mother of two, is charged with attempted murder of her son and with criminal negligence causing bodily harm. On May 28, Drummond shot herself in the vagina with a pellet gun. Two days later, she delivered her son, Jonathon, alone in the bathroom of her home outside of Ottawa. A brain scan reveals that the infant has an injury from a pellet. Drummond spends the next month in a psychiatric hospital undergoing assessment. Counsel for Drummond argues that there is no offense and the case should be dismissed as a fetus is not a person. (ii) July Jonathon Drummond is released from hospital in good condition. Brenda Drummond spends the next seven months in a psychiatric hospital being treated for depression. (v) December Ontario Court (Provincial Division) judge Madam Inger Hansen dismisses the attempted murder charge against Brenda Drummond, holding that the fetus is not a person until birth and is not included in the Criminal Code.(ix) Now how many Canadian really approve of that.. or is the Liberal Ostrich policy just easier... Then again children are not worth much in Canada anyway... The Toronto mother that left her baby to dehydrate, starve and die with severe diaper rash recently (equivalent to 3rd degree burns) over a 30 hour period while she was out clubbing got 3 years... Think she'll serve that much ? How many more lucky kids might she have.. Oh Canada... cbctrust.com
