    Peterson Trial & Abortion

    With Scott Peterson being convicted of second degree murder for killing his unborn son, do you think this ruling will have any ramifications towards abortion? Could you point to this case as a precedent for abortion being a first degree (premeditated) murder? Or would that comparison be thrown out. I think this case opens up some interesting legal battles...

    I don't think so... I think that is sort of a forced abortion issue, but that is an interesting question about the murder charges.

      If anyone knows if there has been any previous murder convictions of an unborn child I'd be interested.

        For the record I guess I'm Pro-Death in that I wouldn't want to make abortion illegal. I can see it in cases of rape, etc., but I think it's a pretty sick form of birth control.

          I agree. I also have more of a problem with late terms abortions than first trimester.

                      I beleive any style abortion is illegal after the second tri-mester. Seeing as how Lacy was well into her third tri-mester I don't see any confilct of interest.

                      BTW, the women's right to choose ends when she spreads her leggs.

                        What really gets me is those lefties that are anti-death penalty but are pro-abortion.
                        They'd rather protect the life of a piece of trash than that of an unborn child. Oh wait its not a child it's tissue. Yeah right.

                            The problem with this law is how its implemented. Obviously Peterscum had full intention of killing the kid as well as his wife, and at 8 months, the viability of the child is not questionable. Therefore considering this a premeditated double murder is very warrented.

                            Now on the other hand, let's say a drunk driver hits a woman in a crosswalk who is one or two months pregnant. You would have a hell of a time arguing the premeditation of that one.

                              My daughter has lupus and she became pregnant. Around 5 months into it she developed Toxemia, which forced the doctors to induce labor or they might both have died. The baby was born at 5 months and survived.

                              That is a whole month earlier than when some late term and partial birth abortions are done. If that's not murder I don't know what is.
