Seems this CA jury disagrees with you. Scott Peterson guilty of double murder in the murder of his wife and their 8 month unborn child. Hmmm.
The California Supreme Court overturned the death penalty sentence for Scott Peterson, who was found guilty of killing his wife and unborn son in 2004.

Assuming he is guilty this murderer should be convicted of aggravated and atrocious murder in the first degree. āDouble murderā for this sick psychopath and husband cheating on his pregnant wife is indeed legal under many new state laws pushed by the anti-abortion movement.
For decades the well-financed anti-abortion movement has used lawyers and politicians to push such laws. It was a carefully thought-out strategy. They have succeeded in passing scores of innocent-sounding state laws named after pregnant female victimās of atrocious crimes, often murders committed by āboyfriendsā and husbands, or homicides committed by drunken drivers.
Many such laws still have specific exceptions for abortion, or are limited to the later stages of pregnancy, but today many anti-abortion politicians feel emboldened. They are pushing hard to rid all exceptions for abortion and are pressing for these laws to apply immediately after conception, and we see many more prosecutions of absolutely desperate poor and mostly young pregnant girls who have resorted to ācoat hangerā abortions and even stabbing themselves.
Here is a tragic article about such cases from back in 2017. It gives a taste of the horrors such women even then were often forced to undergo in states where womenās option to choose safe and legal abortion, or access prescription āabortion pillsā early in their pregnancy (such pills are sold over-the-counter in many European countries) were long restricted.
Of course since the ending of Roe v. Wade such situations are becoming more frequent. The laws being used against women are new and more draconic, and they affect many more women, and some are being used even to go after friends who merely try to help them. Of course right now it is still the poor, young, desperate and vulnerable women in āRed Statesā who suffer the most.
