88. Hypothetically speaking-
A woman is headed across town to have a late term abortion. At the gas station a scumbag decides he wants her SUV and carjacks her. She resists and he shoots her in the abdomen. She survives but the baby dies. The shooter is later caught and the DA charges him with murder, among other things.

My point is that you can't have it both ways. If she had made it 3 more blocks to the clinic and had an abortion no one would have been charged with murder. A pregnancy terminated by a bullet is murder, but if it had been done a few minutes later with instruments it would have been OK?

Just some food for thought.

Dan
