This is sick to the nth degree, but at the same time surreal. I'm having a tough time coming to grips with the idea that anyone could do this.
Makes me think of season 1 Millenium episodes.
What in the hell is going on? Would someone please tell me this kind of thing has always happened, that this is just our instant gratification news distribution in action? Damn, this brings tears to my eyes.

"Search On for Fetus Cut From Mom's Womb
Friday, December 17, 2004
SKIDMORE, Mo. — Police were trying to find an infant they believe could still be alive after being cut from the womb of its mother, slain in her northwest Missouri home Thursday afternoon.
The Nodaway County Sheriff's Department issued an Amber Alert (search) about 12:30 a.m. for the child, believed to be female. The alert said police were looking for a suspect who may have blond hair who possibly was driving a red vehicle. The sheriff's department said officials did not know if the person they were looking for was a man or woman.
"I believe there is a live 8-month-old fetus out there we need to find," Sheriff Bill Espey said.
The child's mother, Bobbi Jo Stinnett, 23, was eight months pregnant. Her mother found her inside her home and called police at 3:38 p.m. Paramedics tried to revive the young woman, who was pronouced dead later at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville.
"Someone was wanting a baby awful bad," Espey said.
