Has anyone considered the dramatic political and legal implications of this case?
They charged the woman who committed this crime with murder and kidnapping. The kidnaping charge is for the fetus. The federal statute concerning kidnapping states that you must kidnap a "person." If this woman is convicted, it would seem that it would create a federal precedent, binding on every court in the land, that a fetus is a person. Surely, the federal posecutors just haven't taken the time to consider this.
