Bad things happen when governments start pretending things to be true that aren’t true. Here are a few that have and will cause endless problems until the pretending stops, the third one is the cause in this case.

- Pretending that black people aren’t people so that slavery could be justified.

- Pretending that Jewish people aren’t people so that the holocaust could be justified.

- Pretending that preborn people aren’t people so that abortion can be justified.

- Pretending that homosexuality is normal so that perversion can be justified.

Yet If a pregnant women gets murdered it’s considered double murder by the courts.

>even though the appeal was moot, the rulings of Manhattan Family Court Judge Stewart Weinstein had to be dropped “in the exercise of discretion” because they “may spawn legal consequences or be cited as precedent.”

Yet, the Left will, like the tide, try and try again while judge shopping to get their ruling THEY like....to use as precedent.

But, a case where truth and science are involved...

The amicus brief argued that "women do not surrender this fundamental privacy right upon becoming pregnant. To the contrary, this fundamental privacy right protects women from measures that have the effect of penalizing them for their pregnancies."

That is such a bullchit statement!

Yep. Can't let the humanity of the unborn child see even a sliver of the light of day, lest the secular sacrament of abortion be tarnished in even the slightest way.

Wretched, but not unexpected. When there's a hole in the satanic dam, the demons will be in a frenzy to patch it.

“may spawn legal consequences or be cited as precedent.”
In other words, we’re afraid of the raging fangtooth feminazis who will roast our a$$ when they hear about this.

Doesn’t NYS reserve the right to charge you with double homicide for killing a pregnant woman?

Under Weinstein's logic, anything deemed harmful to a fetus could be grounds for a neglect petition, the amici argued.

"[Administration for Children's Services] could file neglect charges against pregnant women for smoking, for living with someone who smokes, for not taking prenatal vitamins, for working in a job that poses a risk to her pregnancy, for taking medication for depression, or for terminating or refusing medication for depression," the brief said. "It will be impossible to know in advance which actions [the agency] will decide justify neglect charges in any particular case," it added.

Interesting argument. But if all those things are going to apply anyway at birth, as Hillary would say, "what difference does it make"?
