Save The Girl Child

Is so sad what pro-choicers are doing to girls.

Harvard's support of late term abortions.

The abortion services that Harvard does provide students with are minimal at best: It will refer patients to clinics or hospitals in the area (or, in the case of an extremely late pregnancy requiring a saline abortion or hysterotomy, to hospitals in New York) where an abortion and counseling can be done.

Wealthy Go to U.S. to Choose Baby's Sex

Wealthy Go to U.S. to Choose Baby's Sex

From the article

The Chinese want boys, and the Canadians want girls. If they have enough money, they come to the United States to choose the sex of their babies. Well-off foreign couples are getting around laws banning sex selection in their home countries by coming to American soil _ where it's legal _ for medical procedures that can give them the boy, or girl, they want.

Your little comment makes it sound like Dena is Roger McBeath’s sister. She was neither his sister nor is girlfriend. She was Ashley’s best friend. Dena was kicked out of her home and Ashley’s parents would not let her move in with them….so Ashley asked Roger (who was Ashley’s boyfriend at the time) and his parents if they would let Dena stay with them until things got better for her. Roger and his parents, being the wonderful and loving and caring people they are, of course took her in. Dena started obsessing over Roger (as was evident in her diary) and soon became very jealous of Ashley and Rogers relationship so much that she told Ashley that her and Roger had been together…..As soon as she found out that Ashley was pregnant, she became enraged, especially when she overheard Roger tell Ashley that he loved her and was excited about seeing the ultrasound pictures. The person who stood the most to lose with the birth of this child was Dena. Is it not obvious that she is the one who murdered Ashley. Plus, there it is his lawyers that have asked for a new trial. This title and short blurt that you have makes it sound like a murderer wants a new trial…..if you knew Roger and his brothers and his family, you would know that they could not hurt a flea….they are the most caring people around. They have given so much of themselves to others and done without things themself to help those who were more needy then them. Your title should read “Roger McBeath Jr….seeks justice”……too many facts lean more towards that he was innocent rather than guilty…..

The HERALD-LEADER says she is his twin sister.

http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/14309494.htm
In 2005, Williams’ twin sister, Dena Williams, pleaded guilty to complicity to murder and tampering with evidence and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Their father, Nevel Williams, faces charges of witness tampering related to the case.

If he is inocnet I hope he gets a new trial. But how do you explain what Thomas Williams has said”

Thomas Williams, 20 was the third person so far convicted in the murder. Her boyfriend Roger McBeath Jr wanted to cause her to miscarry but later decided to use a 9mm on her and murder her. Ashley was murdered in Scott County Ky in 2004.

Make no mistake about it Roger killed Ashley and HIS son Landon, there were witnesses!!!! But let me set you all straight on the facts: Yes Ashley and Dena were friends in high school , and one night when it was storming very badly Ashley asked Roger to pick up Dena at her job at the local store to give her a ride home since she had to ride her bike some 4-5 miles home, Roger gave Dena a ride and it all started there. Dena NEVER asked to move in with us,and we have had other teens live with us for short times that were having problems at home. Dena started playing Roger’s parents from the start making them feel sorry for her saying her mother was an alcoholic and mistreated her(well if the William’s were such bad parents how come the other 4 siblings still lived there including her younger twin sisters!!!) Ashley and Roger were inseperable until Dena came into the picture. Dena then moved into the McBeath household and lived there until Roger was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole in 20 yrs. in Ashley’s murder(no on is charged with Landons murder??)Then she was thrown out of their house to go home and live with her parents where she lived when she was arrested on Dec.16 2004 for being invovled in the murders. ROGER LIVED WITH US FOR A MONTH(in August 2003) THEN ASHLEY AND ROGER MOVED IN TOGETHER IN SEPT.2003 IN THEIR OWN APARTMENT. DENA STILL LIVED WITH THE MCBEATHS! ROGER CAME TO ME,ASHLEY’S MOM AND SAID “I DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE LIVING AT HOME BECAUSE MOM AND DAD WON’T MAKE DENA MOVE BACK HOME AND I WANT TO HAVE A FULL TIME RELATIONSHIP WITH ASHLEY” WE HELPED THEM GET THERE APARTMENT AND FURNISHED IT FOR THEM, NOT THE MCBEATHS(OH ,THEY BOUGHT THEM A USED WASHER AND DRYER FROM HIS HALF SISTER)WHEN AHSLEY BECAME PREGNANT THE MCBEATHS STILL LET DENA LIVE IN THEIR HOME, AND TOLD ASHLEY SHE HAD TO ACCEPT HER AS PART OF THE FAMILY.THEN ASHLEY WALKED IN ON DENA AND ROGER TOGETHER IN THE APARTMENT AND SHE IMMEDIATLEY MOVED BACK HOME. LITTLE DID SHE KNOW THEY WERE PLANNING TO GET RID OF THE BABY THEN,ASHLEY MOVED BACK HOME ON OCT.28TH AND LATER WE FOUND OUT THAT ON OCT.31ST HALLOWEEN NIGHT THOMAS WILLIAMS AND ANOTHER BOY NAMED EULER WAS SUPPOSED TO DRESS UP IN MASK AND BEAT HER UP AND KILL THE BABY, BUT OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT GET TO HER, THATS WHEN THE PLAN TO MURDER THEM BOTH WENT INTO ACTION.DENA KNEW SHE WAS SECOND CHOICE ALL ALONG BUT SHE KNEW WHEN THE BABY ARRIVED SHE WOULD BE OUT OF THE PIC FOREVER!!!!SEE ASHLEY KEPT A DIARY TOO AND SOON IT WILL BE POSTED ON A WEBSITE FOR ALL TO SEE AND READ, BUT LET ME TELL YOU THIS SHE NEVER THOUGHT ROGER WOULD HARM HER OR THE BABY AND NEITHER DID WE. BUT THEN ONE DAY SHE TOLD ME AND HER FATHRE ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT DENA AND ROGER WOULD SAY TO HER WHEN THEY CAUGHT HER OUT AT K-MART AND OTHER PLACES. BUFORD LYONS’ ASHLEY’S FATHER CALLED THE MCBEATHS ON DEC24TH 2003 AND ASKED ROGER MCBEATH SENIOR TO MAKE ROGER JR.AND THAT NASTY THING LIVING WITH THEM(DENA) TO LEAVE ASHLEY ALONE , HIS COMMENT WAS ROGER AND DENA WERE NOT AT K-MART AND THAT ASHLEY WAS LYING(ASHLEY’S BROTHER CHRIS WAS WITH HER AT THE TIME ,THIS WAS NO LIE, THEY THREATENED HER LIFE THAT NIGHT) AND AS FOR THE MCBEATH’S BEING SUCH SWEET AND CARING PEOPLE???WELL THEN HOW COME THEY NEVER SAID THEY WERE SORRY OR EVEN SENT A CARD WHEN ASHLEY AND LANDON(THEIR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD FIRST BORN GRANDSON)WERE MURDERED. ROGER AND ASHLEY DATED ON AND OFF FOR 4 YEARS.THEY NEVER COTACTED US UNTIL RIGHT BEFORE DENA’S TRIAL(1 AND 1/2 YEARS LATER) TO TRY AND CONVINCE US THAT DENA WAS THE KILLER,BUT YOU SEEM TO FORGET THERE WERE THREE WITNESSES THAT SAW ROGER MCBEATH JR. IN THE PARK , CLIMB A FENCE AND JUMP IN HIS CHEVY MAROON TRUCK TO LEAVE THE SCENE OF THE CRIME. SEE I KNOW A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN ANY OF YOU AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU AT ANYTIME. #502-535-5386 ALSO,TO THE FIRST COMMENT MADE ON THIS PAGE, YOU MUST BE IN THE MCBEATH FAMILY TO HAVE SEEN DENA’S DIARY AND LETTERS SO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF TRASH SHE IS, AND YOU ALSO KNOW THAT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE MURDER’S OF ASHLEY AND LANDON ARE NOT IN JAIL YET. I PRAY AND FOCUS ON THAT! YES WE SEEK JUSTICE HERE ON EARTH AND I KNOW THEY WILL ALL FACE THE LORD ONE DAY AND HAVE TO ANSWER WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. REMEMBER OUR WITNESS???? WELL DENA WAS NOT DRIVING THAT NIGHT BUT WE KNOW WHO WAS AND SO DO YOU!!!!! AND THE GOOD LORD WILLING THAT BOY WILL GO TO JAIL SOON!!!! THEN YOU CAN STAND ON YOUR SOAPBOX AND TELL ME WHAT A GREAT FAMILY THE MCBEATHS ARE. THE ONLY MCBEATH THAT I FEEL IS TRULY SORRY FOR ALL OF THIS AND IS NOT INVOVLED IN THE ACTUAL PLANNING OF THIS HORRIBLE CRIME IS RITA MCBEATH-ROGER’S MOTHER. SEE, I TALKED TO ROGER’S PARENTS THE NIGHT ASHLEY WAS MURDERED AND I KNOW HOW EACH ONE OF THEM REACTED TO THE NEWS THAT ASHLEY WAS DEAD. IF AND WHEN ROGER GETS A NEW TRIAL ASHLEY’S FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL BE THERE AGAIN AND I HOPE IF IT HAPPENS THAT HE GETS MORE TIME!!!!AND SEE ANYONE CAN ASK FOR A NEW TRIAL BUT IT RARELY HAPPENS.AND WITH ALL OF THE WILLIAMS PLEADING GUILTY THEN THEY WILL NOW HAVE TO TESTIFY AGAINST HIM! AND THE WITNESESS THAT DID NOT HAVE TO TESTIFY AGAINST THE WILLIAMS CAN NOW TESTIFY BECAUSE THERE IS NO 5TH AMMENDMENT FOR THEM ONCE THEY PLEAD GUILTY. TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF ASHLEY AND LANDON I SAY HUGS AND KISSES TO YOU ALL,THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS TOO. THE ONLY THING THAT GETS US THRU THE DAY IS THE HOPE THAT WE WILL SEE THEM AGAIN SOMEDAY IN HEAVEN AND IF ROGER’S SISTER MARY MOORE READS THIS ASK YOURSELF , WHO IS THE GIRL THAT CAME TO YOUR DAUGHTERS BIRTHDAY PARTY WHEN SHE WAS JUST 2 OR 3 AND BROUHT HER A PRESENT, A BABY DOLL ???? I REMEMBER BECAUSE I TOOK ASHLEY TO BUY THE GIFT AND DROPPED HER OFF AT THE PARTY. AND I KNOW YOU LOVE YOUR CHILD SO I HOPE YOU KEEP HER OUT OF ANY LOVE TRIANGLES THAT COME HER WAY NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU THINK THE BOY IS TO HER.BECAUSE ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD CAN NOT BRING THEM BACK!!! TOO BAD THESE PEOPLE COULD NOT BE CHARGED WITH LANDON’S DEATH BECAUSE IF YOU KILL TWO PEOPLE YOU CAN GET THE DEATH PENALTY!!!! THIS IS ASHLEY’S MOMMA AND LANDON’S PROUD MIMI AND I WILL FIGHT FOR THEM TILL THE DAY I JOIN THEM . AND I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU ALL!!! GOD ALMIGHTY IS ON MYSIDE!!!!

Well I have read the comments on this page and I have a pretty good idea of who the ( Anonymous Says: April 23rd, 2006 at 9:11 pm ) person is. I can only say one thing to you. Your a stupid F*****G Idoit. Roger was dating both Ashley and Dena back and forth for 2 1/2 to 3 years. He couldnt just pick one and stick with her. Because Ashley was the good girl that he could settle down with and Dena was the nasty one that would do anythign he wanted to. Apparently the person who left this comment either dosent know shit about Roger or Dena and is just running their mouth or like I said they are a complete idoit. If Roger is so sweet and innocent then why would he sit there at his house when I called him the night my father and I found my sister sitting in her car dead, instead of rushin out there to see what was going on. If he loved Ashley so much why wasnt he out there as soon as I called him. I’ll tell ya why because he already knew what had happened to Ashley because he did it!!!!! Roger was stupid to think he could get away with this without anyone finding out.espically with his girlfriend Dena and Dena’s brother Thomas Williams envolved. They both ran their mouths to people before it happened about what they were gonna do and were bragging about it to people after the helped Roger kill Ashley. Theses are the facts 1. Thomas Williams supplied Roger Mcbeath Jr. with the 9mm hand gun. 2. Roger and Dena drove to the park where Ashley was found. Roger got outa the truck walked down the hill to Ashleys car and shot her 3 times. 3 Witnesses say Roger walking back up the hill right past them. The witnesses turned their Vehicle around headed out of the park. The witnesses watched Rogers truck pull up on the Road outside the park Roger Jumped the fence and climbed into the passenger side of his truck which sped away, and Dena says the she was driving the truck that night. But thats not what the witnesses saw!!!!!!! I cant say who it was but I wonder who the next person will be to get arrested in regards to Ashleys murder. I’m sure who ever it was driving the truck knows it coming, its just a mater of time. So the moral here is If you dont know the whole story or your trying to lie for someone you should make sure that your the only one who knows the true story before you start posting comments on the internet, because sooner or later someone will read it and know that your lieing trhoguh your teeth and they will post the true story.

wonder what happened to the annonymous writer that started all of this discussion? well… seems like when the truth comes out the people that support the Mcbeath’s scatter like the leaves in the wind!

I hope you will publish Ashley’s diary on a website. I’ve followed this case online since shortly after Ashley was killed, and often wondered what some of the things that haven’t been made public would show.
Why did the McBeaths continue to allow Dena to live w/ them even after Ashley caught her with Roger? I know they felt sorry for her, but wonder why even this didn’t “wake them up” to the kind of person Dena really was?
You have my deeprest condolences on the loss of Ashley and Landon.
