See my post #9, the Uniform Code of Military Justice was modified when President Bush signed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act in 2004.

"See my post #9, the Uniform Code of Military Justice was modified when President Bush signed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act in 2004. "

There's no question that they could prosecute for the unborn murder. No question. My point is that there's no precedent, either in federal court or military court for such a prosecution, to the best of my recollection. I'm skeptical, because of the lack of precedent, and the uncertainty with respect to how it would play out at appeal, might sway prosecutors to avoid the charge altogether. Again, just an opinion.
