I believe that until a fetus can survive outside the mother's womb it is a part of a woman's one body (and hers to do with as she pleases). These trimesters (as you know) are arbitrary distinctions with little basis in medicine. Your argument is sound, I just disagree with the legal distinction.

To answer the question: anything post survivability outside the womb should be considered a double homicide, anything prior is a single homicide. The trick is determining when post survivability is.
