Okay, i am sure some of you know about the Laci Peterson case. The pregnant woman who went missing on christmas eve. Her husband was never formally named as a suspect, but he was the only logical killer.
Now, her body just washed up on shore, as well as the body of her child. Earlier, when the bodies first washed up they said the baby was full term. Meaning it had gone through what a full labour...not neccessarily a live birth though.
Anyways, now they have charged the husband with two counts of capital murder. In the same article they are no longer calling the child a 'child' but a 'fetus'. Does anyone see where i am going with this?
This case could set off a firestorm of opinion in the states, because the courts are essentially going to have to make the final decision on whether or not a fetus is considered a human. Does anyone have any idea of what sort of reprecussiong this could have on the whole abortion movement?
Anyways...that's the topic. Discuss.
