Except they do.
Abortion hasn't made women more responsible, that's the thing.
Scott was charged and convicted under California's fetal homicide law, which allows for prosecution of the death of an unborn child when a pregnant woman is killed.
Really? Refresh my memory, when was the last time someone got the death penalty for destroying an endangered species.
The federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 recognizes a "child in utero" as a legal victim, if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence.
There's a correct procedure for attaining a legal abortion. Failure to follow such procedures (such as having one performed by a licensed abortion provider.) is subject to prosecution.
That's an entirely seperate delusion .... a subject fit for another thread.
Sorry you can't answer it. lol
Meh.
My choice?! lol I couldn't care less what you do.

The anti-abortion advocates have already taken care of the euthanizing. They have reduced life expectancy of the people harmed by unplanned children in already struggling families and foster children.

Don't. Animals have protections but it doesn't mean we recognize them as legal persons. And even the Unborn Victims of Violence Act explicitly states it doesn't affect abortion law or personhood status under Roe.
The harsher sentence comes from the double homicide statute, which again doesn't inherently mean the law considers the fetus a person legally. It's called consequences.
So you agree that people and even courts get swept up emotionally, but you use that same case as evidence of personhood. Emotional responses ≠ coherent legal or moral criteria for personhood.
It more or less is an admission of defeat on your part.
There is no "might" to it. Foster children face and uncertain and often tragic future. There are studies outlining what happens and the % of children effected.

What these studies show about the future of foster children

Only 50% find employment by age 24.
60% of young women who age out end up in the sex industry.
70% of young women are pregnant by 21.
25% of youth who age out are dealing with PTSD
25% will be incarcerated within 2 years of aging out. (for children that have lived in 5 different foster homes that % is 90% will end up in jail withing 2 years of aging out of care)
What happens to kids who age out of foster care?
Systems are not in place to effectively care for foster youth while they are in the system, nor to put them in a position for successful independence when they leave the system. Aging out should not be an option for foster youth who have not been prepared to care for and support themselves. The...

The end of Roe will create more inequality of opportunity for children | Brookings
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned its decision in Roe v. Wade, which established a constitutional right to abortion. As many as 28 states are now expected to ban or restrict abortion. Many women from these states will seek an abortion in another state or access a “medical abortion”...
It's deeply illogical that pro-life advocates create more child abuse, more foster care children, more families living in poverty, more unstable families, more homelessness, incarceration, more addiction and call it the responsible protection of life at the same time they are calling the women irresponsible who abort to prevent those tragic results from happening.
