Man charged with killing unborn babies

First of all, it's counted as a violent act against the woman as she was assaulted, whereas abortion is a consented medical procedure. However, the main difference is the level of gestation. Murder charges are commonly pressed when the gestation is past the point of viability, or at least passed the period of voluntary abortion.

It is wrong to kill an unborn no matter what and to do it with the deliberate attempt to kill the baby, as in that back robber (who may have been the father, or may have been hired by the father to get rid of the baby as well as his girl friend) is evil. But would it not be just as wrong to kill a baby with the assistance of the doctor who forgot that Hippocratic Oath, "Do no harm?" or "not to give an aborative device--etc. ' unless he is doing it to save the life of the mother as in the case of an ectoptic pregnancy? After all the days when girls who were pregnant were kicked out in the streets in the middle of winter with a blizzard raging at 40 below are gone. And there are courts that will force the father to pay, adoptive couples, etc. And that baby is not likely to be the next John Gacey, social services, the Church,Pregnancy Crisis Centers, etc. In other words, there is help. Now if that back robber killed the teller because he was impatient about getting the money, would he not be less to blame? After all, he might have just thought she was fat.

This is something that has 'confused' me, and I think it confuses the courts too. I remember once the head of the National Organization for Woman speaking up for a man charged with murdering an unborn baby when he shot the unborn baby's mother. He appealed to them, and they in turn claimed he could not be tried for that because it was a fetus, not a human life. NOW got so much bad press from that that I've not heard anything like that again. It was years and years ago. But I don't see how people can straddle that line. It's the same principal, only one is legal, one is not. Perhaps they comfort themselves with the thought that abortions are sought, getting shot is not.

Are you saying that this man should not be charged with murder because of abortion being legal?? If so, I don't agree with that (I don't agree with abortion either). This man shot a woman and killed two precious babies. I understand that when an abortion is done, it is also murder but for some crazy reason it is legal as long as a doctor is performing it and as long as it is done within a certain time of becoming pregnant. As for these parents, they were expecting to have two beautiful babies and that was taken from them from some greedy, ignorant person who only thinks of himself. I hope that he is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Oh! thats sad news! well that man supposed to be a life in prison if my rules to be followed...lol.what a poor baby's.They don't know the worlds...I wish the man who do that gonna feel guilty for the rest of his life.

You can't possibly expect for this person to be not charged just because abortion is legal... I mean, abortion is mostly committed when a person can't take care of the baby and probably for other reasons as well and those choose to kill their babies. There's a huge difference between these two situations.

good day. there are two sides of the discussion. First doctors do abortion for medical reason and most importantly with consent, the bank robber had neither. 2nd. The robber caused the abortion committing a crime. So I think it's only prudent to charge him with that. Crime does not pay.
