The Assocated Press reported yesterday:
COLVILLE, Wash. - An 18-year-old pleaded guilty to trying to hire a hit man to kill his ex-girlfriend's nearly full-term fetus and was sentenced to more than six years in prison.Charles D. Young received 76 1/2 months in prison Tuesday after pleading guilty to first-degree solicitation to commit manslaughter. State law allows for such a count when a viable fetus is the intended target....
Note the word "manslaughter" was applied to "fetus."
This is just one example how legalized abortion has convuluted U.S. law into a pretzel.
In this case, the fetus had rights and was called a "human being" by law, by the very definition of "manslaughter."
In this case, the fetus was a human being solely because the mother wanted the fetus to be considered a human being.
Yet the mother could have left the courtroom after the baby's father was sentenced to 6+ years in prison for trying to kill the "human being" inside her, and were she still pregnant, walked to the abortion mill down the street and legally killed the "fetus" inside her.
I've read many ridiculous attempts to parse words and definitions on my blog to condone abortion the last few days.
Here we had a "fetus" who was a "human being" by law. Explain that, pretzel makers.
