Fetus accorded rights

The House voted to consider a fetus a seperate entity when a pregnant mother is killed. Two murder charges could be brought against the murderer.

Yes, this is a crack in Roe v Wade. I am willing to admit it fully. I don't know if the sponsers intended it to be, but it seems to give legal precedent for further limiting abortion.

It seems pretty clear that fairly soon, Roe v. Wade will be challenged, and overturned, with exceptions for the endangering the life of the mother or rape. The cultural pulse is strongly for this, in my experience.
