Robert, you're a lawyer, so please explain the logic behind this. If a pregnant women is run into by a drunk driver, or is shot during a crime, or is beaten by some pig, and she loses her baby, the responsible party can be charged with murder, correct? Yet the same women can legally have a doctor chop her baby into pieces.
So, is that how we determine if the unborn is a human life or not? If the mother wants the child, it's a human life protected by law, and if she doesn't, it's just a fetus that can be legally terminated? It just doesn't seem logical to me.
Again, correct me if I have this wrong, but I've heard many times, when a mother lost the baby she wanted, the responsible party being charged with murder or manslaughter. Yet a doctor or clinic can do the same thing, and it's just a legal "medical procedure".
