Woman wins right to defend a fetus

In Michigan a woman has won the right to defend her unborn child during an attack. She stabbed her boyfriend for punching her in the stomach when she was pregnant.

Quote:
The court said it concluded that a person may defend a fetus, and even use deadly force, if she believes the fetus is in danger of imminent death or great bodily harm.
I'm surprised this isn't major news. The implications are big. Does this mean that anti-abortion activists are justified to attack abortion clinics?

Full article here.

Good. Seems like the Michigan Courts of Appeals has some sense.

Awesome, and on top of that he should be charged with two counts of assault.

A guy from grammar school punched his wife when pregnant.
The child was terribly deformed and retarded, he stayed with them ridden with guilt for the next 2 decades.

IMHO, a fetus is a human. Same rights as a person who is already "born" [what a word]

Obviously, one would hope this right would only extend to the carrier, rather than any given person. People are just zealous enough to try to use a law like that to do exactly what you're saying.

I am one of those anti-abortion activists, however my motto is, you cannot take away lives to save other lives, thus anyone who attacks or kills abortion clinics is as guilty of murder as the abortionists themselves

I agree with you LaF. However, this case could be used to attack the legality of those abortin clinics somehow.
