When her son died, Anna's mother went on TV and said that she thought he was murdered and said that she thought Anna was in danger.  Now Anna is dead. 

There are a lot of people who are now going to profit now that both of them are dead.  The old billionaire's family now has a pretty good chance of keeping their money.  So the billionaire's family could have paid to have them both killed.  At the very least, they are saving millions in attorney fees. 

If she does still have a claim to that money, her infant now is the sole heir to that, and the remaining parent stands to also get a huge part of that.  Her lawyer/husband now will inherit everything if he really is the father.  So, he could have killed them both for profit. 

Then, there is the ex-boyfriend who wants his kid.  He could have killed her off to try to get his kid back and get a stake in the billionaire's fortune also. 

And all of them had to know that since she always slurs her speech and has problems with drugs and alcohol, the public could easily buy that it was an accident or suicide. 

been watching that on Court TV?  Don't you think Phil Spector, with his "new hair do", looks like Pee Wee  Herman????  LOL.

They have been off for the past 2 days due to one of the defense lawyers having to go to the hospital.  Kind of interesting to watch trials on T.V.

This man was ambushed, murdered, beheaded and burned.  The headline says these teens murdered a sex offender.  Way down in the article it says that this man 9 years ago at age 17 had sex with a 14 year old.  That was his offense. It does not say he raped her.  While I agree he should not have had sex with a 14 year old, I think it is very unfair that after he suffered such a horrible death the headline reads that a sex offender was murdered.  The article also says that his being a "sex offender" had nothing to do with why the boys murdered him, they just did it to do it.  How sad that after his death, that is what they post about him!!

Like I said, it's not ideal, but so many people are so judgemental toward people who have kids young - at least they didn't take the easy way out and get an abortion.  I am not a pro lifer, but I do respect people who are willing to step up and raise their kids no matter what age they are.  I have friends who were forced to have abortions by their parents because they got pregnant young because the parents were so afraid of what people would think, and that's not right either.

I don't think their mom is going to win any mother-of-the year awards, but if she didn't accept Jamie Lynn's decision than she greatly reduces her chances of having a good relationship with the grandchild.  Babies are a gift - even when they aren't born into the perfect suburban home.  I'm not saying teen pregnancy is a good thing, but it happened, and now she has to make the best of a tough situation.

With this being a major factor in the political arena right now I wanted to ask this: 

For anyone who has ever had an abortion (and there are many of us), were/are you ok with it still or did you have a period of extreme guilt/anxiety over it?  I had one and did not terribly regret it, other than a short grief period, until I actually had children.  I went through about two years of horrible guilt and remorse.  I am now pro-life. I feel an abortion kills an innocent child and causes emotional scars for the mother that will never go completely away.  I feel that I am not deserving of complete happiness in my life, ever, because I denied my child the right to have a life and attempt to find happiness.  I know my reasons at that time and I know I felt like it was something I had to do, but the fact is many of us had them to avoid the shame, embarassment and/or financial burden that we feared.  We thought we couldn't give our child a decent life even if we had him/her.  The thing is, for the small price of some embarassment/shame and inconvenience, we could have given a family without a child a chance to have a child to love and raise, we could have given that child an opportunity to grow and seek happiness, even with obstacles to overcome.  Instead, many of us chose a more selfish route, convincing ourselves it was less selfish.  Anyway, that's how I feel about it.  How about you.
