below is federal law and laws are protected under the constitution. it is therefore unconstitutional to charge someone for the murder of 2 persons for killing a pregnant woman.
Some states consider the unborn victims and have penalties for "terminating a pregnancy" against the will of the prospective mother but no one has ever been found guilty of 2 counts of murder for killing a pregnant woman.
None of the laws apply to a woman who consents to getting an abortion.
I didn't say they did... but abortion ends a life... it just does... if a woman schedules an abortion and goes through with it, what is the result? If that same woman changes her mind and follows through with the pregnancy what is the result? It's been the same baby developing... the same life...in either situation... it seems to be the major difference is between unwanted and wanted... but again that doesn't change the fact that a life is denied with each and every one of the hundreds and thousands of procedures...
