Bruce asked:
I don’t get liberalism: To wax sentimental over vicious killers while casually tossing prenatal human victims into the trash?
Lisa, aside from not addressing the question, the Supreme Court has consistently recognized that the death penalty for murder is not cruel and unusual, perhaps because the Constitution itself refers to “capital” crimes, thus implicitly recognizing the justice of the death penalty.
Those who take the radically unscientific view that the prenatal child is not a living human individual should consider that Hitler did not consider the Jews to be living human individuals. We get into big ethical trouble when try to redefine our potential victims as subhuman.
Origen, good answer; but could you clarify what you mean by “hard cases”?
Excellent, Misty. Those who argue that the prenatal child is not a living human individual never seem to be able to demonstrate that the child is alive, or a human, or an individual.

From the civilian law enforcement people? It was a Sheriff’s deputy that did the shooting.

Other civilians should not have their Second Amendment rights infringed upon either, because they might need to protect themselves from a nut-case that could be from anywhere.

For example the 91 year old WWII vet that was severely beated while someone recorded it. What if he died from that beating could the person recording or the onlookers be charged?

MetalHeart asked:
The boyfriend in Wisconsin that laced his girl friends smoothie with an abortion pill is being charged with murder for causing the pregnancy (twice) to miscarriage.
If the girlfriend was to come back and say, I probably would have had an abortion anyway or something to that effect, could the man still be charged with murder? Would it still morally be considered murder or would it then be considered her “choice” since she could technically have had an abortion anyway?
