Fetal homicide laws, so that if you injure/kill the mother and the fetus dies as well, you can be charged w/2 murders.

I am no legal eagle, but I can assure you that no one would extract a term fetus/baby and crush it's head after 8.5-9 months in utero. Hydrocephalic people have lived into their teens, and older on occasion. I have no idea how the do this, but it is documented as having happened. Perhaps the brainstem/medulla or some other type of brain tissue keeps the individual alive, but on at least one occasion I know of, the individual was capable of speech and coherent thought??? Amazing to say the least.

My point is, that the RW anti-choice people would have people believe that this is a constant approach to abortion. To take this a step further, they are against "Plan B" or the "Morning After Pill" as well, this works by shedding the lining of the uterus before the process of fertilization has gone beyond the initial cell division stage. How can this be 'abortion'? It is a way for the fundy's to cease all sexual activity, something that is not their business in the first place. I'm sure they would be unhappy if I hung outside THEIR doors and brought up their sexual practices for the world to see....:)
