Here We Go Again ...

I was certainly about to go through my "what's wrong with y'all" in Texas meme but I am glad to see that Texas isn't the post-partum/baby killing capital of the world. But, the minute I heard this story I knew there were going to be some religious undertones

"Though the killings have been brutal, legal and psychiatric experts say such cases are no more common here than in other states.

They note that several factors have caused Texas to get more attention on the issue, including intense media coverage following the Yates case that may have created an illusion that Texas has more mothers killing children.

'Texas seems to be a lightning rod,' said George Parnham, the Houston attorney who defended Yates. 'I don't necessarily go with the idea that we're wackos down here.'
Dena Schlosser, 35, was charged with capital murder Monday after calmly telling a 911 operator that she had cut off the arms of 11-month old Margaret. Police found Schlosser sitting in her living room, covered in blood, a church hymn playing in the background."

I do wish, though, that Texas would come out of the dark ages when it comes to mental illness and that its male citizens would stop breeding with women who, obviously, never recover from post-partum depression from previous children.
