Hypocritical laws

Tweet

This is a discussion about the hypocrisy of these laws and not about whether they are good/ bad or moral the laws themselves. Please keep the political views about the laws themselves out of it and stay on topic of the hypocrisy. Now that I said that here it is. I was watching the news and on it last night they had a story about a man going to jail because he had an accident with his car. Yes it was a DUI. He hit a woman and her daughter on their way to the doctor. The daughter was pregnant and lost the baby. He is going to jail on a lower murder charge for the baby's death. Now the thing it the woman told a local paper it was the best thing that could have happened as they were paid for wrongful death of the baby and saved the money from, now get this, her daughter who was being taken to the doctor to have an abortion! SO it would not have been murder for this girl to abort this child but it was murder because a drunk hit them and killed it. So after looking into these laws what I am taking form this is that an unborn child of less then 24 weeks gestation, has protection on it's life from drunks but not it's mother. I mean it's only murder if someone wants the baby? Now legally if before 24 weeks the law considers for abortion the fetus to not be a person how can they say it is a person if it dies some other way and vice versa if it is a living being at that point how can it not be if the mother wants to be rid of it? Can it get any more hypocritical. As for the story above I do not think someone who was on the way to abort their child should get wrongful death pay from the drunk.
