I was just re-examining that story that headlines this thread--about the ex "stomping the baby out of the woman." Egad!

Later in the article, they mention MINNESOTA as one of the states in which "it" is officially regarded as a person from the moment of conception. I was amazed AND amused, considering some of the liberalism I've seen coming out of Minnesota at times. (In spite of that, there is a lot of good that comes out of Minnesota.)

I was reminded of a case where a youngish woman had viciously assaulted another woman who was pregnant. I said indignantly, outside a courtroom where the woman was being charged with assault, "She could have caused her to miscarry." (The baby had not miscarried, however.) The defense attorney replied sardonically, "What're you so upset about? A lotta girls pay money for that service."

Later, I had the satisfaction of seeing that defense attorney storm out of a courtroom, slamming a door loudly behind him, after a prosecutor kicked his a-- in another hearing on his client's assault case.
