re: #456 formercorpsman

I will admit my position up front, in that I would be considered pro-life. That being said, I accept this is a brutally tough subject, and not everything is black and white.

Seriously, and respectfully, does anyone see a contradiction in how we have applied the law in the case of someone like Scott Peterson where he was not only convicted of murdering his wife, but also of 2nd degree murder for the fetus?

I think (just guessing) in that case the judgment had to be that he had not only killed his wife (exisitng person) but also her unborn baby (potential person) against her will.
