I disagree with how arbitrarily personhood is conferred, with our law. A fetus whose mother doesn't want it can be aborted, perfectly legally. But if a mother wants her unborn child, and loses it due to injuries sustained in a mugging, for example, the muggers could get life inprisonment. We need a set standard, preferrably one that would favor life.

That's what I always say. I don't understand how someone can be charged for murder for killing a fetus. Wouldn't it just be damaging the woman's property and assault? If that's the case, it doesn't protect pregnant women or their babies. What is it to kill a fetus, a murder or a removal? The only way to protect women as well as their young is for it to count as murder, but that contradicts abortion being legal. So which way do we go about protecting women? Making it so at any time before she gives birth, her young can be killed without much consequence to the killer but giving her the right to get it killed, or making it so that anyone who kills her unborn child is held responsible for murder, including abortion doctors? That's how it used to be. Woman didn't get in trouble, the doctor did. The doctor's the one doing the killing. They can't make that choice though. So they have their cake and eat it too.

It's yet another loop hole. I'm sure most of you have heard of the British solutoin already. Where the death of an unborn results in a misdemeanor?
Regardless of the woman being assaulted or voluntary abortion.
If the Misdemeanor law were enacted in the United States, what do you think would happen?

Scott Peterson would be thanking his lucky stars. And oh god I won't go out of the house when I'm pregnant. If I live here when that happens.
