Texas Dem Wants Infanticide To Be Treated as Less Than Murder

Cassy Fiano has the details on the bill offered by pro-abortion Catholic Democrat Jessica Ferrar:
It defines infanticide as:
A person commits an offense if the person wilfully by an act or omission causes the death of a child to whom the person gave birth within the 12-month period preceding the child’s death
The bill says that infanticide should not be prosecuted as murder, though, as long as:
… at the time of the act or omission, the person’s judgment was impaired as a result of the effects of giving birth or the effects of lactation following the birth.
Infanticide would become a felony, punishable by no more than two years in prison, with a minimum of 180 days, and/or a fine of no more than $10,000.

After all, isn't all murder really just a late term abortion? And what if a woman's judgment is still impaired when the child is say...16?

I still don't understand why the Catholic church won't throw people like this out.
