Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

This woman clearly has a right to legal recognition of her children. What they won't do to protect abortion…I pray the Vermont Senate Judiciary Committee does the right thing…

The case of a Vermont woman — who is seeking legal recognition of her
six-month-old twin fetuses that died in a car accident — could
reignite a debate over abortion rights in the state, the AP/Barre-Montpelier Times Argus
reports. Some abortion-rights advocates have expressed concerns that
revising state law to give legal recognition to fetuses could conflict
with the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade.

The
state Supreme Court in 1989 ruled that prosecutors cannot charge anyone
for the death of a fetus in a motor vehicle accident. According to the AP/Times Argus,
the court cited a common law tradition from the 17th century that ruled
a fetus must be born alive for it to be eligible for legal protection.
Although 36 states have some form of fetal homicide law, Vermont does
not, and the state Supreme Court said it will be up to the Vermont
Legislature to revise the law.
