But can you accept that a man was just convicted of murder for killing an unborn child?
You can only "murder" a "person".

Jerry...if you're referring to the man who gave his girlfriend drugs to cause a miscarriage...or abortion if you prefer...the conviction WAS NOT MURDER...even though he was charged for a crime that lead to the death of an embryo...under the Unborn Victims Violence Act of 2004.
Since the language of the act...allows the used of the word "child" in relationship to the provisions of the law...BASED ON A SPECIAL LEGAL DEFINITION...it was created so as not to imply that it in anyway undermined Roe v. Wade...
The UNBORN VICTIM was an embryo of about 7 weeks old. Technically it was NOT a CHILD. The embryo was considered to be a victim of a crime.
If the above case isn't the one you're referring to...Never mind...Lo Siento...
