A woman from Kansas City, Missouri, has been executed for strangling an expectant mother and cutting the baby from her womb, the first time in nearly seven decades that the US government has put to death a female inmate.

Montgomery killed 23-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett in the north-west Missouri town of Skidmore in 2004. She used a rope to strangle Stinnett, who was eight months pregnant, and then cut the baby girl from the womb with a kitchen knife. Montgomery took the child with her and attempted to pass the girl off as her own., shortly after another appeals court lifted an Indiana judge’s ruling that found she was likely mentally ill and couldn’t comprehend she would be put to death.

At trial, prosecutors accused Montgomery of faking mental illness, noting that her killing of Stinnett was premeditated and included meticulous planning, including online research on how to perform a C-section. Montgomery also experiences delusions and hallucinations, believing God spoke with her through connect-the-dot puzzles, the judge said, citing defence experts.

This woman is the epitome of evil! “She used a rope to strangle Stinnett, who was eight months pregnant, and then cut the baby girl from the womb with a kitchen knife.”

(For all those who may be Trump supporters.) He has proved his point. He has people's lives in his hands, so he rubs his hands together. Warms your heart, doesn't it?

I stood with my back to the TV listening to SBS News. I felt a wave of nausea hit me as I stirred the spag bol. The death penalty is repugnant. How does this help?

Oh wow it happened I was following this since she got caught.

Their democracy lies in tatters and their citizens are dying in their thousands each day from a pandemic. But hey here’s an idea...we need a female execution now!

Is this the woman I read about with severe mental illness?

Totally opposed to the death sentence, but note that my local state LNP member has expressed support for it in some circumstances - he's a medico... Lovely ideology has the LNP...

Do you know what hell this woman lead prior to the crime ? The death sentence is never an answer.

Thanks for that I really needed to know

She must have been totally off her head to do that! Why wasn't she given over to a psychiatric facility?
