I want to discuss Laci and Conner's law. It's a federal law that says it, "recognizes an embryo or fetus in utero as a legal victim, if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence. The law defines "child in utero" as "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb".[1]
The law applies in 38 states and "Only to certain offenses over which the United States government has jurisdiction, including certain crimes committed on federal properties, against certain federal officials and employees, and by members of the military. In addition, it covers certain crimes that are defined by statute as federal offenses wherever they occur, no matter who commits them, such as certain crimes of terrorism."[1] It also states that, "fetus or "unborn child" as a crime victim, at least for purposes of homicide or feticide."[1]
Laci and Conner's law applies to futuses no matter what stage of development they are.
Now I want to discuss Roe V Wayde. It's one of the most disputed laws in U.S. history. It states that, "Abortion is legal in all U.S. states, and every state has at least one abortion clinic."[2] So, by law, it's mandatory that every state have at least one abortion clinic operational at any given time. It continues, "The Court resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the three trimesters of pregnancy: during the first trimester, governments could not prohibit abortions at all; during the second trimester, governments could require reasonable health regulations; during the third trimester, abortions could be prohibited entirely so long as the laws contained exceptions for cases when they were necessary to save the life or health of the mother. The Court classified the right to choose to have an abortion as "fundamental", which required courts to evaluate challenged abortion laws under the "strict scrutiny" standard, the highest level of judicial review in the United States."[2]
So, let me get this straight... If a woman wants an abortion it's legal by law, and encouraged by society (national abortion day[3]) On the other hand, if she gets killed and happens to be pregnant, the "fetus" is considered alive and it's the worst thing any human is capable of doing, killing a pregnant woman. It seems like woman's morals are very flexible when it comes to their own children (or fetuses depending on their mood).
