They are not identical to each other, nor is either identical to a teenager or an 80 year old, but in each of these examples you have a human life at different stages of development in that sense they are the same thing.

Thank you. And I would say that the latter three (newborn baby, teenager and 80 year old) are a lot different from the fetus in the womb. A primary difference is the latter three are capable of surviving independently, while the fetus requires the mother's body. This is probably the main point that makes me believe if the mother doesn't want the fetus inside her, she is morally OK in removing it.

No abortions in the third trimester can be regulated, but any regulation has to allow abortion for reasons of the health of the mother, and health has been interpreted so broadly that there in effect you can not outlaw abortion at any point in a pregnancy.

So....why did he get convicted of two murders? If a pregnant woman gets killed, is it always double murder??
