re: If Abortion isn't murder then why do people get charged with murder/manslaughter when they

What if the mother has an abortion scheduled for the next day, and a guy punches her in the stomach and kills the unborn baby?

Is it no longer murder because mommy had an appointment to murder the baby the next day ?

I know that the way that the California law is written is thus:

1. Anyone who intentionally or with reasonable foresight causes the death of an unborn child is guilty of a criminal charge.

2. There is an exception to the law and it is written such that if the mother of the child is the one responsible for the death of the child, the law doesn't apply.

So in California, that guy would still be technically guilty, though I doubt anyone would enforce the law in that case.

If a mother is pregnant with twins and delivers one of the twins prematurely, the birthed twin is protected by law against being murdered.
But the mother could legally murder the twin that is still in the womb.

That pretty much clarifies the evil of abortion.

Your scenario has been brought up and discussed infinitum, the bottom line answer from liberals is the woman gets to decide wherher her child lives or dies became she has the burden and inconvenience of carrying the child to term. The woman decides if the child is a miracle blessing or a curse of irresponsibility. The other whacked out side of abortion is the man has no say but he is still required to support the child if the women decides to carry the child to term against his wishes.

The best mental exercise for this is to consider the following scenario:

A woman is on the way to get an abortion in her vehicle, but is hit by another vehicle and dies, killing her and the unborn baby. The person would be charged with 2 counts of manslaughter.

Yet if she got the the clinic without having the accident, she can have the abortion and kill the child and it’s considered stunning and brave healthcare.

Make it make sense.

Actually, by legal definition, abortion is not murder. If it was legally considered murder, women who have abortions would be charged with murder. Instead, they are charged with having an abortion. There is no anti-abortion law stating that abortion is murder.

I guess the woman ultimately decides if the death of an unborn child is murder, pretty simple, if the woman wants the child and some other person causes her to have a miscarriage or the child dies in the womb due to a criminal act it's considered a murder of the child, if the woman decides the child is unwanted it's called an abortion and a woman's right to choose.

I do. Innocent children being killed because their parents were inconvenienced.

Your inaction doesn't support that assertion.

They shouldn't be.

Next question.

I guess the question and quandary is when is the death of an unborn child considered murder?

What are the circumstances to warrant murder or manslaughter charges of the unborn child?

It gets even more insane when many Dims/Groomers want the legal right to end the life of a child up to and including birth.

How does that make sense from a logical standpoint, even for Pro Choice people?

They're just as crazy as the "contraceptives are murder" crowd.

Maybe, but there will never be a restriction on contraceptives for people who are wanting them.....killing children at birth is next level insanity.

But as I asked, when is it murder and when is it a woman's choice?
