Plane baby's mother was raped: legislator

A Philippine woman who dumped her newborn baby in the trash on a flight from the Middle East said she was raped by her employer and abandoned the child because she was afraid of what her family might say, a legislator said Thursday.

The baby, still attached to its placenta and wrapped in tissue paper, was found by a security guard at Manila's airport last Sunday in a trash bag unloaded from a Gulf Air flight from Bahrain. The trash apparently came from the plane's bathroom.

Magtanggol Gatdula, the National Bureau of Investigation's chief, said the woman has seen a picture of the child and is "very eager to see her baby."

The woman left in June last year to work in Qatar for three years, and her family was surprised when she suddenly returned home, said police Inspector Jeffrey Vicente, quoting her husband in northern Apayao province with whom she has two children.

Isn't this just awful? And now she want's to see the little guy!?

Well the Phillipines does have a history of their girls involved in prostitution and nannies; and the difference may be a bit blurry.

And you know the rich boss in Qatar is probably a frustrated horn-dog, what with all their chicks wearing those veils and stuff.

I'm sure she isn't the first young Philappine girl to return home pregnant. And the strory says she is married and has two kids already. Possibly abortion isn't available in Qatar and she was probably heading home for one before meeting up with her family.

I'm for abortion, especially in cases of rape,etc. But I imagine that that would be a clinical option and hopefully early on in the pregnancy.
For a female to actually give birth to a little human, then wrap him up in toilet paper and stuff him into those little garbage cans in the bathroom of a jet seems, to me, incredulous.

I wonder what would be the public opinion if this girl was a blonde, blue eyed thing from either Toronto or Washington? What would the feminist's movements say? What would the Conservative's or the Republican's say?

And, on the other hand, if the girl were from say either Saudi Arabia or Iran, she would probably be stoned to death, or if lucky or if her family could afford it, be hung from the neck until Jesus walked in their oilfields once again.

What a crazy world we live in.... dare I say a F**ked up world.

And today some of CNN's stories include Anna Nicole Smith's photos with baby released, the "Top Chef" finale, and the bed bug infestation. Oh, and the dude that shot a doctor in John Hopkin's hospital has been found, cornered and shot dead.

Well, I believe this is enough for now.
