The measure of a decent human being is how he or she treats the defenseless

I did not know about this.

So there is a greater penalty for killing a featal person accidentally than deliberately?

It doesn't just cover accidental feticides. Say a disgruntled ex lover decides to kill the object of his affections and she is pregnant. If he kills the mother as well as the child he can be charged with homicide and feticide.

Imagine that.....2 murders, as in 2 PERSONS

I'm pretty sure personhood was bestowed upon viability.

Can the definition of "viable" be made firm?

[BT]

As far as i know viable means able to maintain life outside the womb by natural means.

I'm pretty sure personhood was bestowed upon viability.

And I've made that reluctant compromise......viability starts at about 26 weeks.  Still waiting to see the compromise from the the so-called "pro-choice" side

and yet it's not a personal attack, its not a demeaning slur, its not a derrogatory reference to someone's intellect, in which I get far more annoyed with, than you can imagine.  It's only done once in a while, and only done once in a thread, when a point, that doesn't have to even be mine, is demonstrably avoided.  I'd opine "let it go", since I have no intention of not highlighting when a serious question goes unanswered         The left doesn't get a pass, when they try to punt.  Hell maybe they "missed it", and I'm providing a 1 time serive of reminding them the question they avoided...I mean missed

When God reveals the exact moment during a pregnancy when He inserts an immortal soul, then that can be incorporated into the law. Until then, abortion should be the sole prerogative of the pregnant woman, since she must raise the child or decide its fate if it is born.

And for legal/court purposes, when approximately is that??  Or is that just a half hearted transparent reference to no compromise??

Justify it all you like, it still is annoying.

Ditto, though at least it's not some spewed vitriolic rhetoric aimed at another poster, which apparent doesn't pompt even a bit of annoyance, nor some nefarious stealth demand for an answer
