"Vehicular Feticide – O.C.G.A. 40-6-393.1 (or Feticide by Vehicle)

If a person causes the death of an unborn child while in the operation of his automobile, he may be guilty of vehicular feticide."

-from the Georgia Criminal Defense

Ok, so I have been researching for that script I started writing the other day, which involves a drunk driving causing the death of someone in a car wreck (which is called vehicular homicide). While reading up on that, I noticed the above, which is the crime known as vehicular feticide, which is causing the death of an unborn CHILD while driving. So I have to ask, how does one usually deemed a "fetus" suddenly become an unborn child?

If you murder a pregnant woman and the baby in the womb, that's two counts of murder. If you are recklessly driving, cause a wreck, and as a result kill an unborn baby, that's murder, and it wasn't even intentional. So how then can you say abortion is not murder? Now, if you want to say that the previous two cases are also not murder because your genuinely do not believe a fetus is a child (in which case you need to check up on your biology), then at least you're being consistent.

But if you agree with the laws of the land that killing a pregnant woman and her child equates to two murders, then you should be consistent and say abortion is murder. I know this a real touchy subject and people get all upset about these things, but I just want people to think. I know that we, as humans, want to make our own decisions and control our fates. But that's not the way it works.

The problem is that women want to justify abortion by calling it a "choice" and calling a baby a "fetus". And as a woman, I can understand how it would be tempting to thwart something that seems to be intruding on your plans for your life. But (aside from case of rape, which is a different argument for a different day) if you made the choice to have sex, that's a potential outcome. But as an adult, you should be prepared to handle that and live with that consequence.
