Good, it's a start, and should be recognized as so everywhere.

Unborn Victim of Church Shooting Recognized as Fully Human Under Texas Law

When the gunman walked into the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas, he reportedly targeted children. His youngest victim was a baby who had yet to be born. Under Texas law, if the murderer had lived, he would have faced a murder charge for the killing of the unborn baby.

Quoting National Right to Life, "Under a [Texas] law signed June 20, 2003, and effective September 1, 2003, the protections of the entire criminal code extend to 'an unborn child at every stage of gestation from fertilization until birth.' The law does not apply to 'conduct committed by the mother of the unborn child' or to 'a lawful medical procedure performed by a physican or other licensed health care provider with the requisite consent.'"

Even though the Texas feticide law doesn't extend to mothers who legally abort their babies, pro-abortion advocates still despise the law.

An article published in 2014 at Rewire complained:

The rush to establish "personhood" and the enthusiasm for protecting fetuses above all else has perverted the stated purpose of fetal homicide laws. Once intended to protect fetuses and provide to pregnant women and their families a legal remedy for wrongful death, fetal homicide laws are being misused by overzealous prosecutors and judges to trample women’s rights in favor of the nebulous personhood rights of fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses. These nebulous personhood rights even include the right of a fetus to be free from any potential harm in utero. Accordingly, women who engage in stigmatized behavior—like drug or alcohol use—are finding themselves incarcerated and arrested, charged under fetal homicide laws that were specifically not intended to criminalize their behavior or punish them.

And we really don't give a damn what pro-abortion advocates think. They can just suck on it :)

Scott Peterson was charged with double murder.I don't recall which states do and don't count the unborn as a viable, separate victim. I know it does here because I voted for it.

This came up as an issue in another state over the same, but I can't remember which one. There ARE states though where you'd have though Planned Parenthood wrote the law. If can't breathe, eat sleep and scream, doesn't count.

Peterson case was in California. Crazy a leftist hellhole ruling that way.I think most states do if the mother's intent was to keep the child. I think it became an issue in a state where it was not specified.
