Au contraire. The cases are basically the same. In my country murder is
murder... if you kill a postman or a doctor, its the same crime. At least
that is how it is supposed to be. Of course, in reality, the available
funds of the victim's survivors or even the murderer himself (OJ?) are a
very big factor in the outcome of any murder trial. And, as you know a
fetus doesn't have any money, and therefore fetuses get murdered a lot more
than people who have money. Sorry it took so long to reply, been a little
busy.
