Reply #45: If Someone Shoots and Expectant Mother...

[novalib]

If someone shoots an epxectant mother, then that person ought to be charged with attempted murder.

Because, clearly, the person doing the shooting intended to murder someone.

Do you know who? (Hint: It is not the fetus)

The person doing the shooting could also be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Do you know who the person would be assaulting?? (Hint: It is not the fetus).

But all this is beside the point, anyway.

Because NO ONE ATTACKED AN EXPECTANT MOTHER!!!!

A poor, desparate woman took the necessary step to remove a part of her body that endagered her health.

PERIOD.

What is truly sad is that this poor woman had to resort to such a desperate step that clearly endagered her own life ion order to rid herself of the fetus.
