Mom Beating Child - whats the problem?

http://www.local10.com/news/3998577/detail.html

As a father of daughters I am always amazed to see or hear stories of girls going to fisticuffs with other girls. We title such behavior as shameful. Now we have a mom attacking a child. Repugnant. What a perversion of behavior is this! What could possibly come next? Could it be that all that is left is a mom "choosing" to kill her baby?

The "mom" in this story, Rita Gooden, faces simple battery which could send her to jail for up to one year.

A mom beating a child - whats the problem? We have murdered over 30 million babies in this country alone by way of abortion - and we cellebrate it!

I know. I know. A mom has the right to murder her baby, provided it is unborn. "Right" is an interesting word. So lets take a look at it:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness -
Declaration of Independence, incase you didn't know.

The language can be understood simply: Creator endowed man with Rights

Therefore, rights come from the creator.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
- Again, The Declaration of Independence, incase you didn't know.

The language can be understood simply: For this to happen, the people make governments to provide for these rights that we have from the creator - God, for those on the left side of the aisle - and that governments can rule because the people to be governed say it is ok - that's why we vote

What all this means is that the rights we are given are the gift of God, and must needs be in line with the nature of the creator. If the creator endowed us with life, then who are we to take it away? That is why we punish the taking of life so severely - it is the gift of God.
It really is not that difficult to understand.
