They should have thought about all of that before getting pregnant and prevented it.
That doesn't always work out, especially in cases of rape or incest. or birth control failure. Or the man removes the condom without telling the woman. Or, like friends of ours whose 4th child came along after a tubal ligation failure. Or my cousin who got pregnant while on the pill because the doctor didn't bother to tell her that the antibiotics he prescribed might reduce the effect and allow her to get pregnant. You make it sound like every woman who gets pregnant did something wrong.
Fetal homicide laws have already set the legal precedent that an unborn child is a separate human life.
Again, you conveniently pick and choose and ignore the fact that every fetal homicide law has an exception for abortion. Do you think repeating a lie often enough will make it true?

Here's the thing about "rights"... If states can regulate/restrict gun rights, and they do, they can regulate/restrict abortion. Keeping and bearing arms is a specifically enumerated Constitutional Right. Abortion is only a "perceived" right.
It's either one or the other. Either states are allowed to regulate/restrict rights, or they're not. Can't have it both ways.
For comparison purposes, in regards to gun rights and the right to an abortion, BOTH of which states CAN regulate/restrict: There are 32,000 gun deaths per year. There are 700,000 abortion deaths per year.
No, I'm correct. Fetal homicide laws allow only some but not others to kill another human life. That's unconstitutional as it's unequal treatment under the law.
Right as if men had nothing to do with it. Please. Okay, since I"m posting, stupidity here has again eached fever pitch. I so hate when this happens.
So since it is the woman who gets pregnant she doesn't have the responsibility to make sure she is using birth control so she won't get pregnant? It's not the man that gets pregnant.

It would be helpful if one of these days you'd offer a court case, law journal article, anything, to support your opinion. Fetal homicide laws have been challenged in court. Show where any of those challenges used your argument that having an exception for abortions violates the equal protection clause.

Sure, here you go...
"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." - 14th Amendment, US Constitution
Either anyone can kill an unborn child, or no one can. Can't have it both ways.
