But before 8 weeks isn’t murder even though the foetus is breathing, has blood pumping through its veins? You are basically saying its murder after 8 weeks
This is what I have said in the past.
I believe the Texas law states it is illegal if a heartbeat can be detected, which is usually at 6 weeks.
I don’t nessersarily agree with this, your status as a human should be determined by the existance of a conciousness in some form, not by a heartbeat. If your heart stops due to a medical condition do human rights stop applying until you are resuscitated? Unfortunately we don’t understand the conciousness to be able to define it in a way that is useful, so I can’t give you an answer to what is right.
Murder? WTF
Yes, the intentional killing of a human is called murder.
Which part are you confused about?
And what about the full term babies who are still born?
If the stillbirth was caused by the actions of the mother (eg. taking drugs) then she should be charged with murder. It is the same principal as if you injected another person with a needle full of drugs against their will, the principal is the same.
Otherwise it should be treated the same as any other death from natural causes.
