Reply #61: Since there is a military provision in this law...

It seems to me as tho somebody ought to be looking into all of those "unborn children" being "murdered" over in Iraq for the past couple of years. If we can't charge the occupiers with outright war crimes, maybe we can get them with the Unborn Victims of Violence Act!

Everytime I break down & go back & read this "Laci & Conner Law", I am astounded at the absurd terminology used, such as "children in utero" or "a child, who is in utero". Does it deny the existence of embryos or fetuses entirely, just as the term "evolution" is being denied in favor of "creation"? Is there no longer such a thing as "undeveloped"? Also, that no previous knowledge of the pregnancy need be known; easy convictions, all around! How long before "vigorous" sex which leads to a miscarriage will be used to charge someone with murder?

It does seem as tho the possibilities for prosecution will increase, without a doubt, & this has made pregnant women so much more precious than ordinary, run-of-the-mill, beaten & abused women. Oh, I forgot, those are just ignorant, hard-up gals, too stupid to know when a guy wants to control them by beating them into submission. We'd better get the word out quick...make sure to be pregnant if you want the legal system to work for you. Otherwise, you're just another hopeless victim of domestic violence!
