CA Penal Code, Section 187, simply defines murder as the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought.

Friends may come and go but sisters are FOREVER.
The law in California is a result of a 1969 case.

A guy and his girlfriend broke up. The girlfriend started dating another man and she eventually got pregnant. During the pregnancy the ex boyfriend saw her and was furious that she was pregnant. He beat the crap out of her and intentionally hit her in the area of the baby. The baby died but the man was found not guilty because the baby had not yet been born. The CA. law was changed because of this case.
