#3,802 If a "fetus" is part of the mother while inside the womb, why does someone get charged with 2 counts of murder if they kill a pregnant woman?”
NFBW: The fetus is wholly part of and temporarily fully dependent upon the eating and breathing human being that the fetus is attached to. The final stage of pregnancy is called the Postpartum period
So Your “if”
airplanemechanic is pure American Taliban Bullshit, but the answer to the question is that a potential life is at stake. THE LAW must assume that at the time of such a murder a pregnant woman’s intent had to be that she planned to allow the pregnancy to go full term. Hence 2 homicides. One for the actualized human being, the other for the latent and potential human being.
