Drunk Woman Who Killed Baby Has Conviction Overturned – Court Rules 6 Day-Old Baby Isn’t a Person

I hope the drunk remembers that day and it haunts her every day. Drinking to intoxication while pregnant then driving tells us she has no appreciation of life.
It was very irresponsible, so it must make you happy then that she is not raising a child?

Sorry, I can't find anything about this tragedy that would "make" anyone happy.
Well I'm certainly happy that she's not raising this child.
 
The injury happened in utero. The death clearly occurred after the child was born.

Has the injury occurred as a result of an attack on the woman it would have violated any number of laws protecting unborn victims. The result in this case had nothing to do with the law, but a judge who wanted to find some way of avoiding prosecuting the mother. Perhaps just stretching the facts due to sympathy. The decision was an aberration.
There is no such thing, and shouldn't be, as an unborn person. It's irrational.
The coward has more to vomit up.

Look up the unborn victim of violence act. Better yet, ask Scott Peterson about his conviction for killing his unborn son.

Is your cowardly ass too afraid?
No charges should ever be filed against someone who kills a fetus if those charges treat a fetus as a person, which it is not. He killed his pregnant wife, one person not two.
He was convicted of two murders.

And should not have been. They don't say the law is an ass for no reason.

So , in your eyes every premature baby that is born and lives for no matter how long is NOT a human .. So my friends baby who was born 3 months early and is 20 yrs old is NOT a human to you .. Wow! You liberals sure do have a mental illness.
Maybe his mental illness is a byproduct of extreme cowardice.

Maybe your trolling is because you have no rational argument?
 
Rational argument

NCHLA
That's not an argument, even the bill is irrational.
You're a coward. What do you know about rational? It's the law, you know, like wigets that you can't understand so they scare you.
Lots of laws, both good and bad, on the books. This kind of law is nothing but emotion, and a sneaky-fucker way to try and ban legal induced abortion. Like most pro-fetus anything, it overvalues the fetus, by many miles.
 
From an actual news source:

>> Her conviction was under the manslaughter statute for “recklessly” causing the death of another person. Jorgensen had been sentenced to three to nine years in prison, which was stayed pending her appeal. Now it’s dismissed along with the charge.

Any imposition of criminal liability for actions of pregnant women where a child later dies from injuries suffered while in the womb needs to be clearly defined by lawmakers, Judge Eugene Pigott Jr. wrote. “It should also not be left to the whim of the prosecutor.”

“Conceivably, one could find it ‘reckless’ for a pregnant woman to disregard her obstetrician’s specific orders concerning bed rest; take prescription and/or illicit drugs; shovel a walkway; engage in a contact sport; carry groceries; or disregard dietary restrictions,” Pigott wrote. “Such conduct, if it resulted in premature birth and subsequent death of the child, could result in criminal liability for the mother.”

At present, that’s not in New York’s criminal law, Pigott wrote.<< -- CBS New York
 
It's like the judge doesn't understand the difference between reckless and negligence.

Had the accident resulted in the death of a passenger, he would have no problem in finding criminal recklessness. The judge is so invested in preserving abortion to its last gasp that he fashioned this ruling out of thin air.

It was 5 to 1 actually. Court of Appeals.
 
Dup thread, and fetuses aren't persons.

A six day old baby isn't a fetus, you moron
It her case it was. They only delivered it because they had to. The fatal blow came while it was in the womb.

Fetus: the unborn offspring of a mammal. The child was born, it was NOT a fetus. Go paint something
What she injured was a fetus, not a person, who then was delivered and later died. No different than a late-term miscarriage or a still-birth for whatever reason, an still not a person yet. You make it into the world when you make it out of mommy, not before.
"Fetus" and "person" are not mutually exclusive terms.
 
Her accident caused the death of two other people that were in the other car. Disgusting.
