Abortion, A Tale Of Two Women

I just saw, 5/6/14, this headline: WOMAN FILMS OWN ABORTION TO PROVE PROCEDURE 'SAFER THAN GIVING BIRTH' 

Emily Letts, a 25-year-old abortion counselor who works at a New Jersey abortion clinic, decided she wanted to be an inspiration to other women by filming her own abortion. The story on Letts from ThinkProgress focuses on her insistence on how pain-free and safe the procedure was.

It is a well know adage that the victor of a war get to write its history, the baby had no say in the telling of "...on how pain-free and safe the procedure was."

Do you remember this story from a few years back?

"A Queens woman dumped her newborn baby in a hospital trash can after she gave birth Tuesday - and was busted napping in her home just two hours later, sources said. Dawa Lama, 23, put the infant in a trash bin inside the emergency room bathroom of Elmhurst Hospital Center, where she gave birth to the child shortly before 2:30 p.m., the sources said." Then the next year this, "Dawa Lama, 23, a Nepali immigrant residing in Queens, New York has been convicted of murdering her newborn daughter and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by Queens Supreme Court on Monday."

Why was the killing of her baby murder for Dawa, but touted an moral example for Letts? The results were the same, a dead baby. In either case what did the baby do to deserve to die? What crime did it do to make it unworthy of life? These are not rhetorical questions.
