how could ScottP be found guilty of double murder when one of his two alleged victims were a fetus, albeit 8 months "old"?

While at the same time his wife could have chosen to abort same fetus legally at any time prior to the eventual birth.

Because the law is inconsistent.

Obviously one view of how to make it consistent might be to make abortion illegal. Another view would be to not consider ScottP's crime and others like it to be double murder. A third idea might be that the inconsistency is ok. I'd like to know if anyone here holds the third idea.

Something is wrong here and IMO cannot be explained in any logical way.

I know Ted disagreed vehemently with me here but than again, he didn't even pretend to apply logic to his stance.

There is logic and its been applied correctly. You just don't want to hear it.
