Battered Suitcases Piled on the Sidewalk Again

spacerobot5:

I find it ironic that the country can pass a bill like Unborn Victims of Violence Act which says any unborn child is a legal victim in any kind of act of violence, yet Roe V Wade still holds ground which says a mother has the right to choose to abort a pregnancy. 

Well then wouldnt that make a mother choosing to abort a child a murderer under that law?

Why the double standard? 

Though I think I understand your underlying point here, the fact remains that an abortion exclusion clause was written into the bill. The possible ramifications in this act of granting personhood rights to fetuses are kind of terrifying, though. Hard not to see how someone will eventually try to extrapolate these laws into pro-life legislation.
