Selene Raynor, a Philadelphia High School for Girls graduate and an aspiring dentist enrolled at West Chester University, didn't care what anybody thought of her. --snip-- Hart has been charged with murdering Raynor, first-degree murder of her unborn child, and related offenses. Police are tracing the origin of the weapon.

Clark said last night that the fatal shooting followed "an argument that was in reference to the pregnancy." He declined to discuss whether Hart was the father.

Yes you read the right; The boy friend was charged with first degree murder of the "unborn child"..

[RetiredArmy]

Yet the unmitigated slaughter of unborn children through abortion goes unabated and is LEGAL??????? Maybe in the eyes of liberals but not in the eyes of God. THEY WILL PAY!! On Judgment Day, they WILL PAY!!

[ikka]

Only the mother has the “right” to kill her unborn child.

[Vaquero]

first degree????

...he wont fry in philadelphia

And yet, a female can go into an abortion clinic and MURDER her UNBORN through a “doctor” or an intern who “promised to do no harm” under the Hippocratic Oath.

[nmh]

Or maybe if the boyfriend was a “doctor” or an intern, then it would be okay?

It’s an upside down world.

That’s the Lacy Peterson law whatever the name is. Remember it was signed into law under Bush when Scott Peterson killed Lacy with her pregnant?

That is why I always questioned how we can have that law but abortion is not considered murder.

Bush Signs ‘Laci and Conner’s Law’

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,115825,00.html

WASHINGTON — President Bush on Thursday signed into law a bill that would make it a separate crime to kill or harm an unborn child during an assault on the mother.

“As of today, the law of our nation will acknowledge the plain fact that crimes of violence against a pregnant woman often have two victims,” Bush said before the signing of the measure.

“The death of an innocent unborn child has too often been treated as a detail in one crime but not a crime in itself,” the president said.

The Unborn Victims of Violence Act (search) makes it a crime to harm a fetus during an assault on a pregnant woman. Bush signed the bill, which took five years to get through Congress, in an elaborate Rose Garden ceremony.

Remember, consistancy of rules or laws just simply isn’t an issue with leftists.

It’s their goals that matter.

And, from a strictly humanist viewpoint, if the woman wanted the baby, then it’s a baby, and killing it is murder. If she doesn’t, then it’s not a baby, and killing it is a “reproductive choice”.

Humanists and Satanists only differ in the degree of whom they think they are working for.

gubmint don’t like competition in the slaughter of unborn babies...

[alabama_heart]

Hmmmmm, in one instance a baby is a “fetus” and another instance the “fetus” is a baby. Am not sure what the difference is (sarc).

[EDINVA]

Don’t you worry ... The One will overturn the “Lacy Peterson Law” by Executive Order.

11 years ago the niece of a close friend of mine was murdered, by her husband, 3 days before she was scheduled to give birth by cesarean. Had he not covered up her body it is believed the baby would have survived. Unfortunately, at that time, Delaware did not have such a law and so he wasn’t charged with the 2 murders. My friend worked very hard to get such a law enacted in Delaware and she succeeded before the Peterson law was signed by Pres. Bush.

if the woman wanted the baby, then it’s a baby, and killing it is murder. If she doesn’t, then it’s not a baby, and killing it is a “reproductive choice”.

B-bb-bbb-but what if she changes her mind at the last moment and wants it 'aborted'?? Then what ???

[alice_in_bubbaland]

They only acknowledge the unborn when they are charging someone with murder. Hmmm, I could never quite figure that out....

I didn't know there was a federal murder statute. Usually the Fed's get the vapors about someones "civil rights" and surely murder deprives a person of his civil rights. If they've added murder to the list of Federal crimes it's more evidence of Federalization creeping into what historically has been a State function. If the States don't push back and soon they will wake up one morning and find they have been "Federalized" out of business.

So anyone except the mother and abortion doctor can be charged with the murder of a “fetus”? Sounds like a violation of the 14th amendment.

[OafOfOffice]

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/1111.html U.S. Code collection The penalities for murder are different in each state but murder is illegal in all states? This just adds the unborn to the charge of murder.

I hear you on states soverignty. Maybe the states could have appealled the decision.
