NOW's argument will bury them. They can't rewrite Calif. law as much as they would like to, which has a fetal homicide act going back to 1970. It says if the baby that is murdered is considered "viable" outside the womb, then it is murder, plain and simple. I'd like to see NOW argue that an 8 1/2 month unborn baby isn't "viable."

One other question: NOW's whole premise has been about needing abortion to be legal for "unwanted" pregnancies. Well that is NOT the case with Laci and her baby - who had a name - Connor. The best thing they could have done for themselves would have been to shut up and not comment.

Thankfully, they opened their mouths and are hopefully opening more women's eyes about just how evil they really are. I'm thrilled they made a public statement and questioned why Scott is being charged with murdering his own BABY. As far as I remember - this has always been about women's rights to NOW, not men's rights. If men had rights according to NOW, many abortions would have been stopped by fathers who wanted their babies BORN.

The outrage at the murder of Laci and Connor will spread to even more people with their disgusting slant.

Minor point, but if the Peterson child was killed with his mother on December 23/24, then he was seven weeks shy of a normal gestation birth.

The abortion double standard has always amazed me. An eight-month pregnant woman can be walking down the street, and if she is hit by a car and both mother and child are killed, the driver can be, and should be, liable for the homocide of two people. But if that woman was about to turn the corner and walk into an abortion clinic for a late-term, partial birth abortion - how is that not premeditated murder?
