Why is it when a Pregnant woman is murdered/killed its always charged as a double murder? How do we know she wasnt on her way to get an abortion? A single murder vs a double murder is often the difference between 25 years in prison or the electric chair, even if the murderer didnt know she was pregnant, s/he still gets charged with the double.

And why is it so shocking to the whole country when a mother drowns her children? If a child Isn't "sentient" until up to a year after birth, its should be ok if the child isnt that old yet right? or when the pregnant girl puts her newborn in a plastic bag and throws it in a dumpster, just a "late term" abortion, right? How come she got arrested? whats up with that?

Its funny how some ideas just crumble in the face of elementary logic.

And if a guy gets a girl pregnant and he does not want to be a father, why is it legal for the women to be able to abort the fetus but not the father? It is some of his DNA after all and would be legally responsible for child supoprt payments.

because it is socially acceptable for him to leave that woman and never really have to deal with that child.
child support?
maybe he'll have to pay it. and then maybe he will if he "has" to.

... to whom is that socially acceptable? I've never heard that logic from anyone in my circle of friends and family, and it's a rather large circle.
