I don’t understand how Scott Peterson is charged for murdering his unborn baby but an abortion is not considered murder (depending on the circumstance).

She was eight months pregnant.

Yours is a really lazy and ignorant take.

Sure. Ignorant then & still now according to you.

It wasn’t his baby to terminate. If you killed a woman who planned to abort her baby but hadn’t yet done so, the crime would be the same. You do not get to choose on behalf of another person.
Also, that additional charge is often used purely strategically simply to add more weight to the punishment, so the charged are given even harsher punishment when possible. It’s not a political statement.

Yeah, I’m betting you’re correct

It’s to understand. If the mother decides she wants to keep the baby, it is a baby. If she does not, then it isn’t. People have miscarried prior to an acceptable abortion date and mourned the loss of that baby because they wanted it.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
