The supreme court ruled creating the 24 week figure. My question is whether a 25th week abortion would be "murder" (like killing a bus driver in cold blood) or "illegal abortion". In other words, are the two crimes prosecuted under the exact same or different laws? If different, it indicates the 25th week fetus is still not treated the same as a kid that made it out of the womb. I was also trying to use a "nuance" to point out the fallacy with the law. A woman can abort her fetus because it's not an unborn child but a man causes the death of the fetus, it's murder because it's a "fill in the blank?"? Come on dude, the fact that the fetus is inside the woman is has something to do with that. It sounds like you are focusing more on what exactly to call the unborn child/fetus/person/kid/expense/future Einstein while still in process rather than deal with the reality of the situation. What to do with a fetus in a woman is her business until the 24th week of pregnancy appears to be the Supreme Court's ruling. You can call the fetus whatever you want along the way, it really doesn't matter. How about this - do you know what was so special about the 24th week that made them rule third trimester abortions illegal? Kinda like where I live, it's against the law to not where a seat belt but it's ok if you ride a motorcycle and not wear a helmet. Or we don't have casinos here in Arkansas, but it's ok to blow your paycheck at the dog racing or horse racing track... State laws. They can be weird. Sort of surprised to read you don't need helmets for a motorcycle, I thought that was a national law by now. Guess not.
