The only reason for such charges is that Republican legislators chose to pass a law making this a double offense.
If I say that a horse has five legs, how many legs does a horse actually have?
If a state legislature votes to claim that all horses in the state will have five legs, how many legs will a horse have?
If a pregnant woman is charged with taking drugs and killing a fetus, then a jury will decide-- bit only if the court accepts this frivolous charge as valid.
So, wait, killing a PREGNANT WOMEN IN CALIFORNIA counts as 2 murders was a law passed by REPUBLICANS??

The state Supreme Court strengthened California’s fetal-murder law Monday, declaring that the killing of a pregnant woman counts as two homicides even if the perpetrator was unaware the victim was pregnant.
The 6-1 decision overturns a 2002 lower court ruling that said a killer must know the victim was pregnant to be guilty of murdering the fetus.
California’s fetal-murder law was passed by the Legislature in 1970. The law is being used to prosecute Scott Peterson in the deaths of his pregnant wife, Laci, and their unborn son. More than two dozen states have passed various versions of a fetal-murder law.

But you want to take the life of a BABY in the mothers womb and call that LEGAL HOMICIDE as long as the mother "mad a choice'. Seeing how you LOVE that "my body, MY CHOICE" claim.
So if she MAKES A CHOICE to SMOKE METH and the BABY DIES, what should happen?? SHOULD that METH SMOKING MOTHER BE CHARGED WITH MURDER??
