I think I heard about this on NPR. As much as I'd like to see people who kill pregnant go away for an extra long time, I'm afraid that a law that recognizes a fetus as a separate entity from the mother and another charge of murder/manslaughter is just an attempt to chip away at roe v. wade. And the thought that a miscarriage qualifies as manslaughter makes me wonder what an abortion would be called. Would planning a trip to the abortion clinic be considered conspiracy to commit murder?
As much as I want murderers who kill pregnant women to suffer as much as possible (as in the peterson case, actually I think this is called laci and conner's bill). If we give the anti-choice crowd any slack in this area they will use it to demolish the precedence set in 1973.
