Some states have them some do not. Some include all stages of pregnancy from conception some do not. Come to think of it most states do not criminalize the killing of a fetus prior to viability or "quickening."
Given the inconsistency of these laws what if anything do they add or detract to and from the abortion issue/debate?
How can it be reasoned that in some places fetuses are significant to a degree and in some they are not?
Also keep in mind that ALL of the laws make explicit exceptions for abortion.
