I would like to know why we set such a obvious dubble standard, like the scott peterson case he was charged with the death of the unborn child yet if she would have choose to kill the unborn child no one would have been charged and no one realy would have cared

you're wrong when you say no one would have cared. i would. it sounds like you would. there are lots of people who would. i don't know why that is. it's stupid. the only occasions i think abortion is acceptable is if the woman is raped or if her life is in danger by having the child.
PS - you misspelled double.

I believe the only way it can be charged as an assault or murder is if the baby was capable of living outside of the woman, I'm not sure though. As far as the abortion part, I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole, mainly because too many different oppinions and its just asking for trouble.
As for the Scott Peterson case, his son was able to live outside of the womb so he could be considered a living breathing person but was killed, even though he wasn't. But like I said I'm not sure and then again it may be a case by case basis.

It's murder when it's assault, b/c the other person is knowingly inflicting harm upon the woman, and/or the child. It's a choice, because legal abortion is allowed before the unborn child begins to develop human characteristics, before it's passed a certain point of development.

Abortion is legal but there are strict guidelines as to when an abortion can take place....generally within the first 12 weeks as up until that time the baby is medically considered to be a Foetus
in my opinion if your aborted after this time it is murder.
When somone knowing hurts a pregnant woman and the baby dies i think that is murder aswell.....only the mother and father should have the choice...

tricky 1!
when you abort a fetus it is a procedure that has been chosen percifically for the best interests of everyone.
If you have chosen to have a family and keep yor unborn child and then to have that taken away from you in cold blood is different it is sudden and unexpected whereas abortions are planned.

Because if a woman is attacked while pregnant and the baby dies, that is different that her going and having an abortion. It was not HER choice. No one has the right to take the life of another human. My uncle was sent to jail for getting drunk and hitting another car. The woman was 8 months pregnant and it killed her baby. He did deserve to go to jail for that!

There are a lot of double standards in the world and we can sit here gripping about it on Yahoo Answers or we can get up off our a** and do something about it. Get a group together that feels the same way and talk to your legislators and other people who are in a position to change things.

well its murder because u took away the life of a human.and besides that baby deserved to live cause he had a heart already and better yet he didnt ask the "mother and father" to make him.and even tho its a unborn fetus its still had life inside the mother.

is matter of law, first in some states abortion is legal, and its a decicition from the mother, to have an abortion under the reasons she may have. in the other case, when its not decition from the mother to have an abortion it is a crime to kill the unborn.
it´s not a double morality it´s cuestion of reason, internal matter´s, for the law its what it is.

Some people have plenty of reasons why they want to get an abortion.Would you want to bring a child into the world and there's no one to provide for it.Or say that you was raped and got pregnant by that guy.You have to look at it from a womans point of view
