There are a number of horrible and disturbing things happening in the United States these days, but this one will suffice for this afternoon. The Unborn Victims of Violence Act allows those accused of assaulting a pregnant woman to be charged twice. It is the first law that, in effect, grants rights to a fetus by defining it as a victim of crime apart from the mother.

I look forward to the day when those drinking while pregnant are arrested for providing alcohol to a minor, and anyone that has sex with a pregnant woman gets nabbed for indecent exposure.
