Sorry, but they won't. The Talmud says that a fetus less than 40 days old is not really a 'fetus', its just a lump of flesh.
("The Babylonian Talmud Yevamot 69b states that: "the embryo is considered to be mere water until the fortieth day." Afterwards, it is considered subhuman until it is born.
"Rashi, the great 12th century commentator on the Bible and Talmud, states clearly of the fetus 'lav nefesh hu--it is not a person.' The Talmud contains the expression 'ubar yerech imo--the fetus is as the thigh of its mother,' i.e., the fetus is deemed to be part and parcel of the pregnant woman's body." {from here.)
(Although a few folks might take offense to the idea the Talmud serves as the basis for abortion law in this nation, just read this, and consider what it means that 3 US Supreme Court Justices endorse it.)
I think murdering a woman, and an uborn baby of any age, is the murder of two people. Period.
The article doesn't say how old the boyfriend is. Depending on his age, he could also be prosecuted for statutory rape as the age of consent in California is 18 and the girl was 16.
I do not think that a peson who unknowingly kills a fetus while committing a murder should be eligible for the death penalty, but I would prosecute him for double murder, without the possibility of the death penalty.
"Hope they win."
Me too. It's time the pro-abortionists admit to the reality that once a human egg is fertilized, it is genetically as much a human as it will ever be, if he/she lives to be a hundred and ten. Argumants to the contrary are fairy tales and nothing more.
Man chooses to kill fetus - MURDER
Women chooses to kill fetus - CHOICE
This my friends is insane.
There's a slight problem with a murder charge here against the unborn.
If he didn't know the girl was pregnant, it would be impossible to know that she was.
Therefore, if he killed her, not knowing she was pregnant, he could possibly only be charged with the manslaughter of the fetus.
