Reply #114: Thank you for jarring my memory about that case

It should be added that the man's intention in the earlier case was to harm the child as well as the woman ("I'm going to beat it out of you" is what he said to her before the beating).

In any case, the law could be written with language explicit prohibiting the courts from using it to make any judgments about a woman's right to voluntarily terminate her pregnancy, if that is what is needed to protect a woman's right to choose. In both of these cases, the woman's right to choose was violated.
