The law was made to maximize charges, not decide an ethics issue.

Originally the limit was 12 weeks. First trimester. The brain and neural development to feel isn't supposed to happen until then.

I never ever thought anyone would allow post first trimester termination because everyone is supposed to know that.

It is actually consistent if you view from the perspective of 'choice' for the mother. In this case, the mother had no choice.

Convenient for some ppl ey?

Abort up to and after birth👍

That drunk driver killed two ppl because she was pregnant .. 👍

It’s a mad mad world

I like how the same morons who claim that an unborn baby isn't a person because it can't survive outside of the womb also can't survive without organization dependent infrastructure like fast food and smartphones. Imagine if these people were dropped in the middle of the woods with a backpack stuffed with survival tools. They'd still be dead in less than a week.

hypocrisy and double standards; It's like all the asshats bitching about guns, while being guarded/protected by armed security guards; or liberals who alienate American citizens while welcoming illegal aliens...

This varies state to state, and Feds also have their own. Yes, there is some inconsistency, and it would probably make more sense to make it an enhanced aggravated category without a second murder charge.

Thoughts? Well, at the risk of angering a lot of people that I like, I don’t like abortion. That being said, I don’t believe it is my place to wag my finger and tell another woman that she shouldn’t have that procedure available, and in a safe environment.

But charging for a double murder if someone kills an expectant mother seems like hypocrisy to me. Either the unborn should be considered human, or they should not be. Society is messed up, no matter what someone thinks of the abortion discussion.

Exactly. Prebirth is a human being

It's the real inconvenient truth xD

I don't think that anyone believes that life starts at birth. You can give birth on Monday, so on that Sunday was it a life?
The issue is that for the purpose of abortion people want to have a place to draw a hard line.
This is why late term abortion is considered terrible and often not allowed or severely restricted because most people consider this murder after the point of viability. 24 or so weeks.

A trumped up theory by a modern, trashy society

I agree. But the world has no sympathy for a child when its in its mothers belly. 🙂
