Leaving the moral issues aside, from a legal standpoint, if the following statement from the first paragraph of the article is true, I do not see how the prosecutor could have brought a case under the law:

That’s because the state lacks an unborn victims law to hold criminals accountable when they kill or injure unborn children in such criminal attacks.

If this is true, the law is heinously wrong. But, the prosecutor does not have the discretion to redefine the law to suit our desires. The law needs to be changed.

This does not, however, affect the fact that the prosecutor should be hounded from office for his choice of financial backing - through a civil campaign within the boundaries of the law.

Read the last sentence. If the baby EVER drew a breath it means she was born, albeit during a brutally horrific C-section, and that makes it murder regardless of the law.

“the prosecutor should be hounded from office for his choice of financial backing - through a civil campaign within the boundaries of the law. “

Maybe in the United States, but there is no chance of that in the People Republic of Boulder.
