Another entry in the fetus wars, I suppose. Brian Zimmerman, writing for the Richmond Palladium-Item has an article on the upcoming trial of Richard Bishop for the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Watkins and the murder of her 28-week old fetus, Jake.
I don’t have a problem with the guy doing a whole lot of time for his attack on Ms. Watkins. I don’t even have a problem if there was an aggravator for attacking a pregnant woman. But don’t call it “murder.” Attacking a woman who happens to be pregnant is just different from attacking a woman and also attacking her baby. Both are repugnant, but they’re different.
