Should the Murder of a pregnant woman count as one murder or two?
It is obvious that pro-life groups are pushing a law that would count the murder of a pregnant woman as two murders because they are looking for a way to weaken Roe v. Wade. Pro-choice groups are fighting the law.
I think that the murder of a woman in her third tri-mester should count as two murders because it is in the third tri-mester that the state can affect a woman's right to choose. Conversely, in the first and second tri-mester, only one count of murder should be charged.
What do you all think?
