Legal recognition that Scott Peterson murdered Conner, his unborn son, has unintentionally had the effect of bestowing upon Conner the precious, and heretofore judicially rationed status of “personhood.” You can’t murder a “non-viable mass of tissue.” But now, legally – and always, actually – you can murder an unborn person.

Generally I dislike never ending trial coverage, this is why this case was relevent above the usual celeb trial.

He was only a celebrity for the media coverage. The trial initially was news because of the abortion angle. Soon covering the trial became an end in itself, and just perhaps because Peterson took on the sort of indifference to his victims seen in the Nightstalker down in LA, years before. But the underlying issues remained.

But the lib will continue to hold logically contradictory notions - the dual Peterson murders AND permissive abortion. That willingness to be so inconsistent leads some to simply characterize socialism/liberalism as feminine notions.
