Can we agree the fetus has not changed or influenced the outcome in either case, yet our law says under one circumstance it is a legal outcome (death of the fetus) but the same result under a different circumstance, it meets the threshold of wrongful death, or even murder?
How can that be?
Dude, youre asking a question Ive asked many times.. Just exactly how that works is amazing to me,,I read about a huge legal battle during a divorce over a couple of fertilized eggs in a laboratory, being held, ready to implant into a woman,,Now, these are just EGGS that have been fertilized, HOW exactly they managed to hold them in that state I do not know,, BUT, these 2 were scrapping over those eggs,, & the ACLU was involved.. I dunno,, but doesnt the ACLU also stand on a womans right to abort, calling a growing baby in her womb "Just a mass of nonviable cells"? Yet these eggs are worth fighting over?
Our society has reached a place I thot was unattainable, stupidity, held high on a pedestal, defended by enough people to make it "right"..
Can you imagine a "Rip Van Winkle" event where you passed out , ohh, say about 1970 & woke up today? Not talkin about the techno advances, just the social/political changes..
