Accused NY Murderer Gets Charge Dropped Thanks To New Infanticide Law

Accused NY murderer gets charge dropped thanks to new infanticide law
Much of the recent infanticide news has focused on Virginia, where there was simply a proposed bill to allow abortions up to or even after (!) the birth of a child. What doesn’t seem to garner as much attention is the fact that New York already passed and enacted basically the same law. And now, that legislation has led to what appears to be a gross case of the law of unintended consequences. (At least I hope they’re unintended. Is this a feature or a bug?)
A District Attorney in Queens has dropped one of the criminal charges against Anthony Hobson who was arrested on Friday and charged with the death of his pregnant girlfriend, Jennifer Irigoyen. He’s still being charged with murder, but an additional charge over the death of Irigoyen’s unborn baby has been dropped. Care to guess why? If you said it’s because of New York’s new infanticide law, give yourself a cookie. (New York Post)
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown sent out a press release saying Anthony Hobson, 48, would be charged with second-degree abortion as well as murder in Sunday’s fatal stabbing of Jennifer Irigoyen, 35. But a DA spokeswoman later The Post that the abortion charge “was repealed by the Legislature, and this is the law as it exists today.” So when Hobson was initially taken into custody, the DA was going to charge him with the murder of his girlfriend and also file a charge of Second Degree Abortion. (Yes, that’s what the law was called.) But part of the new infanticide law that Governor Andrew Cuomo just signed “removes abortion from the state’s criminal code and puts it into public health law.” This was the stated reason the District Attorney gave for dropping the second charge. If I’m reading this correctly, one would presume that if someone shoots or stabs a pregnant woman in the belly and she survives, but the baby dies, they will only be eligible for a charge of attempted homicide. This would seemingly apply even if they admitted their intention was to end the pregnancy by violent means. And the maximum penalty for that is one heck of a lot lower than a murder or homicide rap, at least in New York. Did anyone think this through before that law was drafted? Passing legislation supposedly aimed at lifting restrictions on abortions (performed by doctors) surely couldn’t have been intended to legalize the killing of children in the womb by actual murderers, could it?

Just gotta love Progressive Marxist Socialist Democrats, wherever they go their evil follows with alacrity. Somewhere in the a deep dark jail, Scott Peterson is thinking to himself “Damn if I had just waited a little longer” Hmm...., even in New York I would have thought it was the woman's decision alone whether to have an abortion or not, not the assailant's. Logic is not strong with PMS Democrats.
Hopefully prison justice will be meted out to him. Convicts don’t like baby killers, and perhaps he’ll run across someone in the prison system who is from the same neighborhood, or who knows, or is somehow related to the girlfriend, or her family/friends. NY’s prison system isn’t that large to prevent a revenge killing from taking place. He can’t stay on PC status forever either. If they want to get to you, they will.

This is totally sick. Gov. Cuomo and New York State have now legalized murder of unborn children, even when the mother is the victim of the murder and didn't want her baby to die.
Democrats have rebranded their party as the Redrum Party.
The NYS "Reproductive Health Act"? That's what this law that legalizes infanticide is called? That has to be one of the most disgusting things Democrats have labeled a law yet.
