Crazy Cold Way Down There

By Jeff Fecke | March 31, 2011

I don’t even know what to say about this. I’m going to have to write something. But the level of evil here is breathtaking:

On December 23, 2010, [Bei Bei] Shuai, a 34-year-old pregnant woman who was suffering from a major depressive disorder, attempted to take her own life. Friends found her in time and persuaded her to get help. Six days later, Shuai underwent cesarean surgery and delivered a premature newborn girl who, tragically, died four days later.

On March 14, 2011, Shuai was arrested, jailed, and charged with murder and attempted feticide. Had Shuai, who is being represented by National Advocates for Pregnant Women and local attorneys, not been pregnant when she attempted suicide, she would not have been charged with any crime at all.

As someone who’s suffered depression and attempted suicide, I can tell you that this is as profoundly evil as anything I can imagine.

I’m gonna go eat, and cry about where this country is heading these days. For your listening enjoyment, the incomparable Laura Nyro.
