Glenn Beck made this same point during the Scott Peterson case. He said he was against Scott being tried for a double murder because of the hypocrisy in the law. Although his point was a little tounge in cheek, it did make sense that we have a life which is conditional.
I was all for Scott Peterson being tried for double murder.
If it establishes a legal precident that ending the life of an unborn child is murder, then perhaps (perhaps!) some legal protections can eventually be worked in.
Gotta start somewhere.....
