And yes, those who have just suffered an accidental death will be inconvenienced by these investigations, and hurt by them, but that is the price we pay for keeping people from killing their children.

So, how do you tell the difference between a woman who is assaulted and loses her baby, and a woman who convinces another person to assault her to kill her baby? You investigate.

So you are saying you want to investigate every miscarriage as a possible criminal act? Since 1 of 4 pregnancies (about 900,000 a year in the US) end in miscarriage, I hope you are paying for this, because I think it is crazy to form this whole new bureaucracy that will costs billions and billions of dollars because of one stupid chick.

But that is our generation. Government is the solution to all problems, even if there is no problem.

“Government is the solution to all problems, even if there is no problem.”

So the fact that there are a million children killed every year is not a problem? I would rather they spent money closing down the clinics and going after the doctors, than whatever they spend money on. We need these kids and killing them is going to be the downfall of American society.

I presume the deaths of preborns would be investigated about like the deaths of the post-born are. A lot more post-born people die every year than pre-born, and we manage to investigate the suspicious deaths without overly taxing our criminal justice system.

From the statements of others, it sounds like investigations would be triggered by a some obvious indication of wrong-doing, not simply by the death of a pre-born.

The bill itself.

What is wrong here, people? Why shouldn't criminal homicide apply to an unborn child?

You are worried about the gray areas? How about these: (3) A person is not guilty of criminal homicide of an unborn child if the sole reason
for the death of the unborn child is that the person: (a) refused to consent to:
(i) medical treatment; or
(ii) a cesarean section; or
(b) failed to follow medical advice.
