i don't think anyone is really against this bill -- we all love mothers and babies and recognize that there is a double loss when a pregnant woman is killed. However, right to life groups have been known to try to manipulate the law in an effort to further limit access to abortion even though the majority of people in the USA are pro-choice. Why not a law that recognizes fetuses as people when they reach the third trimester of development? Obviously I am not trying to suggest that a family is not connected to a fetus until the third trimester, I just think that adding such a definition of when we are going to recognize a fetus as a person may be the best compromise for this law -- and if we *really* want to protect pregnant women and their families compromise is probably the only way you're going to get this law through the senate.
