Currently that is at birth Is it? Man, convicted under fetal protection law, receives life Jun 6, 2005 LUFKIN, Texas An East Texas man faces a life prison sentence for causing his teenage girlfriend to miscarry twins, even though she wanted to end the pregnancy. Gerardo Flores was accused of causing the miscarriage by stepping on his girlfriend's stomach. He was prosecuted under the state's new fetal protection law. Erica Basoria acknowledged asking Flores to help end her pregnancy. But the 17-year-old can't be prosecuted because of her legal right to abortion. The defense contended that Basoria punched herself while Flores was stepping on her, making it impossible to tell who killed the twins. The jury reached a verdict after deliberating four hours. Because prosecutors declined to seek the death penalty in the case, Flores received the automatic life sentence. 10tv.com diggersrealm.com Under state fetal protection law, a mother cannot be punished for causing the death of her own unborn children, for any reason. Medical personnel are also exempt. Flores' trial is a landmark case under state law, which went into effect Sept. 1, 2003. A similar federal law was established a month before Flores' arrest. Causing the death of an unborn fetus — from conception to birth — is punishable by the death penalty or life in prison. The prosecution is not seeking the death penalty against Flores.
