It should be a double homicide. Laci was visibly pregnant and almost certainly wanted the baby.

I can sort of see why some pro-choice orgs oppose the concept that destroying a fetus is murder even if the baby was wanted. Saying "destroying a fetus is wrong except for abortions" is pretty close to "destroying a fetus is wrong including abortions."

But as long as you have that exception for abortion, I'm ok with it. I am pro-choice (with qualifications; you should have a legitimate reason for seeking abortion, not "I'm pregnant with a boy and I want a girl"). But if a woman is pregnant and wanted the baby, and the fetus is deliberately destroyed, it's murder in my book.

(I hope this makes sense; I haven't had my morning coffee yet...)

honeychile, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you.
