 Homicide Killing Unborn Child   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Medical testimony revealed that the unborn child was viable and that death resulted from a brain hemorrhage brought on by trauma to the child's head, a result "consistent with seat belt injuries." The court employed statutory construction principles to determine that the statute [FN55] defining "person" to include unborn children applied to the manslaughter statute.
The drunk driver contended that she could not be convicted of a separate count of vehicular homicide based on the death of the unborn child because an unborn child does not constitute a "person" within the meaning of the vehicular homicide statute.
Explaining that it was well settled at common law that an unborn fetus, viable or otherwise, could not be the subject of homicide, the court concluded that the word "person" was used in the statute in its common-law sense, and thus did not include the victim in the instant case.

 WorldNetDaily: Rescuing America's unborn children
In a rational and decent age, it would not, perhaps be necessary to marshal special arguments in defense of the obvious truth that violence that causes the death of a child is a crime whether or not that child has been born.
Worse even than the defense of the killing of the innocent unborn is the doctrine that human beings receive their dignity and their rights from the act of choice made by their mother, rather than by the will of the Creator.
The Unborn Victims of Violence Act specifically exempts the violence of procured abortion from its provisions, but it would nonetheless codify the opposite of the pro-abortion position that even "wanted" children are not persons until they are born.

The Unborns are the slaves of the Undead.
Unborns should be devoted to serving and be ready to take punishment for the slightest error, in fact, many Unborns may even beg to be punished even though their crimes were barely noticable.
Unborns should also somewhat roleplay out the contrast from the Unborn's former life and the new life of hard work for the Guardian, and with probably more death and blood than they have ever seen in their lives.

 State Unborn Victim Laws
The "unborn child in the womb at any stage of its development" is fully covered by the state's murder and manslaughter statutes.

 Francis Beckwith2 -- Is the Unborn Less Than Human   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
However, the unborn entity who has yet to reach the stage in (his or) her development at which brain waves can be detected, unlike the brain dead individual, possesses the inherent capacity to have brain waves.
Some have argued that prior to this time, since the unborn cannot survive independent of her mother, she is not a completely independent human life and hence not fully human.
In other words, because the unborn human is a person with a certain natural inherent capacity (i.e., her essence), she will function as a person in the near future, just as the reversibly comatose and the temporarily unconscious will likewise do because of their natural inherent capacity.

 WorldNetDaily: Congress debates protecting unborn

 Douglas Johnson on Unborn Victims of Violence Act on National Review Online
Currently, however, if an unborn child dies during a federal or military crime, he is not recognized as a victim.
Under the bill, if a pregnant woman is a victim of any of 68 federal crimes, and her unborn child is injured or killed, the bill allows the prosecutor to bring a second charge on behalf of the second victim.
Supporters of the UVVA call it the "single-victim substitute," because it would actually write into federal law the doctrine that even when the mother survives and her unborn child dies, the mother was the only victim, and no one's life was lost.

It was almost a year ago that the lifeless body of Laci Peterson washed ashore in San Francisco Bay, along with the remains of her unborn son, Conner.
Yet the U.S. Senate's passage last week of the Unborn Victims of Violence Act has provoked much fury, particularly from abortion rights absolutists who suggest that any protection whatever for the unborn – including in cases of murder – threatens to outlaw all abortion.
Another 28 percent agreed that separate murder charges should be brought in cases, like that of Laci Peterson's unborn child, where the fetus is "viable" – that is, able to survive outside the womb.

An unborn baby developing in his or her mother's womb has the potential of becoming a child and, then, an adult, living independently outside of the protection of his or her mother's womb.
To argue that an unborn baby is something less than human because he or she is dependent upon the mother for nourishment is sophistry at its worst.
