Quote:Well since TAM can't answer the question, maybe you'll take a stab at it.

 

If a pregnant women is assaulted to the point that it kills her unborn child, why would the killer be charged with the murder of said unborn child?  After all, liberals say that an unborn child is "just a bunch of cells".

 

As far as men being involved in the conversation, I think that the biggest divide here is that most conservative men probably look at this from a conservative point-of-view, that being a husband or perhaps father.  Do we care about a woman's body?  Absolutely and it's usually because she is our wife, mother, daughter or someone else and we care about her health.

 

Liberals?  Not so much.  They tend to think that a woman can be promiscuous and even if being so ends up with the woman being impregnated, she could easily abort (murder) her unborn child.  Abortion has become a form of "birth control".

 

High school girl spreads her legs and gets pregnant?  Abort (murder) the baby.

 

Some college aged girl parties a bit too much and ends up pregnant?  Abort (murder) the baby.

 

Say in either case above the high school aged girl or the college aged girl is pregnant, gets assaulted and loses the baby.  The perpetrator is charged with murder.

 

Why is the law different from intentional murder of another and the unexpected murder of another?

I'll disagree that conservatives have higher morals than others, liberal or whatever. Maybe I higher self image .

 

I havent jumped into the good, bad argument so answering your questions is not in my expertise. There are too many variables...Either child get aborted or mother dies? Stuff like that...not something a free for all gang bang, girl dont care, she just gets the Big A. 

You want it illegal and I'm on the fence. 

If anyone assaults a pregnant woman and does harm to her or the child and it dies...?? Whether it dies or not the perpetrator should be dealt with to the full extent of the law. 

As far as intentional vs unintentional, Im guessing it falls under the same law as murder one, vs 2nd degree or manslaughter.

This debate will rage on. Its a moral issue in my view, but then so is murder , in which we have laws.

Got nuttin else
