In PA, Scott Peterson would be charged with double homicide, too. One case of fetal homicide has already been decided against the perpetrator.
When I was married, my ex pushed me down the stairs when I was 16 weeks pregnant. I lost the baby, who looked complete in every way. I feel to this day that he killed our child. Laci Peterson was 32+ weeks pregnant - Connor had a right to live.
It continually amazes me that, if a baby is wanted, all sorts of in utero surgery is permitted, but if that same baby is unwanted, he or she can be used for tissue parts. Where's the justice in this? If abortion is to be completely legal throughout a pregnancy, then no in utero surgery should be permitted, since it's not viable. You can't have it both ways.
