PUNISHMENT TOO HARSH
This world gets crazier all the time. I read that a woman in South
Carolina was sentenced to 12 years in prison for killing her unborn
child by using crack cocaine (Register-Guard, May 17).
Twelve years for using crack cocaine. That's insane! I realize that
she performed an abortion without a license, thereby depriving some
government-authorized skull-crusher of his or her livelihood, but 12
years for using cocaine. It just goes to show you what can happen to a
person if she isn't the president.
