The state of Texas convicted a 19 year-old on two counts of murder Monday, sentencing him to life in prison. Gerardo Flores intentionally terminated his girlfriends four month pregnancy of twins at her request. The state of Texas did not and could not charge Erica Basoria 17, of any crime because it is her right to terminate the pregnancy. Flores' lawyer argued it could not be determinned whether the blows from Basoria or Flores terminated the pregnancy therefore he should get off. The jury disagreed.FullStory
EXCUSE ME!!!! The woman cannot be charged? There is no sane argument that can be made in defense of such an injustice.
Let me get this straight, a fetus is a life when the boyfriend strikes it, a crime punishable by life in prison. If the woman decides she is not ready then she can decide it is not a life and have a doctor perform an abortion. I have been pro-choice all my life but this is unfair and the woman should not have a constitutional right to do whatever she wants with the fetus. The fetus is a seperate entity and if it is a not a life when a woman or a doctor terminate the pregnancy then it is not a life when a man does it.

Hey Roy
Interesting post! Do you have a link to this article. I would like to read it. It does seem there there is indeed an inconsistency here.
