I don't take solace in it either, in part because you cannot prove that she was "a mother not ready to be a mother". You don't know her, you don't know anything about her. The only opinion you have is based on the media firestorm that has surrounded her. Partying does not make a bad mother in and of itself. It's even conceivable that she didn't murder her child at all.
I worded it poorly, and am regretting even posting in this thread.
You are correct that partying does not, in itself make her a bad mother. Some other things.. like the fact that she apparently lied about the first couple of days seem to indicate she was either highly deluded or not that nice a person.
My comment was more along the lines of "if she did it", then the girl is at least now happy. I said earlier I thought the mother was suffering. And, in any case, my faith teaches me that death is not a horrible thing.. but this isn't the thread to debate that (and I don't really want to debate it now, anyway... its a matter of believe, not fact).
