it is deranged. the left favors a policy that allows one class of citizen to murder another class of citizen - and a helpless one at that - at will.

Actually, the article just refers to the child as “her 3-month-old fetus”.

It’s quite possible it wasn’t his to begin with.

Son, it’s all fun and games until the girlfriend starts mixing saltpeter into your grub. Or perhaps worse, overdosing you on Viagra.

The argument would be that he had no right to do this because the choice is hers and hers alone. It’s her body. It’s her decision if she wanted to give birth or kill her baby.

It’s murder either way, but that’s what the charge will be based on.

Just playing devil’s advocate. If an unborn child is not a living entity until it’s born, how can this be murder? There have been cases where a pregnant woman is murdered and the killer is charged with double homicide. Either it is or it isn’t. Sorry if this is a weak argument.

It is a weak argument.

Logic is not the strong suit of supporters of abortion or liberals in general.

If he causes the abortion, it's murder. If she causes the abortion it's just a lifestyle choice.

Inconsistent application of the law is one of the things that breeds contempt for same.

Personally, I think it's murder in either case.

The biggest problem with prosecuting this kind of crime IMO, is the there is such a thing as 'spontaneous abortion', which is essentially an act of God. This case would be easily provable not to be. There are edge cases though, where that is not the case. That's the only problem I have with making abortion a criminal act.  If it were ever made so, I'd hate to see innocent people prosecuted for an act of God.

The DA will twist and contort to make clear that this guy did not kill a baby. Otherwise, why would it be OK for the woman to do THE SAME THING with no consequence while if he did it, its murder.

I think you are wrong. The law on this subject makes absolutely no sense at all. It is prosecuted in this nonsensical manner all across the land.

"it is deranged. the left favors a policy that allows one class of citizen to murder another class of citizen - and a helpless one at that - at will."

That's just what it is --- deranged --- except swap out the word "citizen" for the word "person" or "human being" (since the unborn are not precisely "citizens" until they get their birth certificate. They're kind of like legal residents.)

And by the way, my wonderful pro-life libertarian friend, Doris Gordon, makes this point when debating other libertarians about abortion. She ask whether libertarians believe, in principle, that the State has the authority to create two classes of persons, one with rights and one without.

I think our culture has disintegrated to such an extent that all fetuses are considered, in principle, fatherless. Sex is scratching an itch, and actual begetting is a glitch --- not a feature.

We all knew when they made this drug so accessible that this was going to happen. Bad for babies, bucks for lawyers.

It looks Irish...
But then I looked it up, it's actually Welsh (but they moved to Ireland).

I'm betting he looks something like this:

That’s why these cases should be prosecuted to the max, both in the media and in the court. Take the bloody contradiction and fling it in the eyes of the abortion enthusiasts.

Well, male rats urinate around pregnant females heavily in order to cause an abortion if the young are not his.

This is just “proof of common ancestry”.

It would make the point as long as the defense stresses heavily the legality of abortifacients if taken by the “mother”.

How can it be murder if one sex uses it and not another?

His defense can make an interesting case on the basis of "equal protection".

It's important to remember that abortion WAS illegal and WAS prosecuted in all 50 states before Roe vs Wade. Fifty out of fifty.

But the type of difficulty you describe --- false prosecution because of a miscarriage --- never happened in the legal history of abortion law.

This was because abortion was more-or-less treated as a 2-victim crime --- the woman and the doctor --- and there were not prosecutions of the doctor, generally, unless he had put a woman in the ER with a ripped cervix or a lacerated uterus.

Keep in mind, too, that the death rate for human beings is 100%, and most of these, too, are "acts of God" : illness or injury. But deaths are generally not criminally investigated unless there is clear evidence of foul play.

As you mentioned, in this case of a guy inserting Cytotex into the woman's vagina, it couldn't be clearer.

If I were judge and jury, that guy wouldn't walk free until Christ comes again. And then he'd face the real judgment.
