“All of the provisions of the law are aimed at third parties, not at pregnant mothers,” Martingayle said. “We do not read laws broadly to express outrage. We don’t assume anything is illegal.”

Ah, yes; if I shoot the baby, it's murder, if the mother shoots the baby, it's a legal exertion of "choice".

'Ah, yes; if I shoot the baby, it's murder, if the mother shoots the baby, it's a legal exertion of "choice".'

Hey, it's HER BODY after all, right? I mean, who cares if the baby has its own heart and brain and nervous system and fingers and toes? That's not a body -- just a mere extension of the mother's body, and therefore fair game for execution and dismemberment.

Amazing what rationales people will concoct, if unconsciously, to justify murder for convenience.
