Feet us or not
 

If terminating a pregnancy is the removal of a "fetus," then how come killing a pregnant woman is considered double homicide?

Just thought I'd confuse/piss off everyone. If there IS an answer, however, I'd love to hear ir.

i think because if there is a first timester fetus in a woman's womb and she wishes to remove it, it is her decision. but if some stranger decides that not only the woman but her fetus should die, thats murder. whats in her body belongs to her.
(until a certain period)

because they presume the pregnant woman who is killed wanted to keep the baby.

I think all homicides should be referred to as "post-birth abortions," which would clean up this little mess you've laid out for us quite nicely.

That is one of the best statements I have ever read on this board.
