But if someone attacks a pregnant woman and kills her, he can be charged with 2 counts of murder, one for the woman and one for the unborn child. However we just established above that it is ok to kill an unborn child. But wait, only if the mother says so? So if a psycho stabs a pregnant woman in the stomach and kills the baby, is charged with murder, but then the woman comes forward and says its ok she was getting an abortion anyways, are the murder charges dropped? No. Why not?

in that case, because the guy that did the stabbing is clearly a lunatic that must be locked away from society. We can't just go around stabbing people now can we.

If a pregnant woman has an abortion, all is fine and dandy. If a pregnant woman takes a knife and stabs herself in the stomach and kills the baby, she is charged with murder. Wherein lies the difference?

If a woman stabs herself in the stomach with a knife, she's probably dead.
