“Gun Death” Morality

This one kinda puts a twist on our abortion discussion:

A 22-year-old man whose brutal beating of a pregnant woman caused her baby to die nine days after being born killed a human being, not an unborn child, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.

The three-judge panel rejected Paul A. Petersen’s argument that he “did not intend to kill a human being; rather, he intended to kill an unborn child.” It also affirmed his 40-year prison sentence.

Doesn’t make a lick of difference to me, he attempted to kill a life and succeeded. He’s a murderer, and should do every second of his 40 years, and if somebody beats him to death in prison it will be a travesty, and a miscarriage of justice, but also nothing that will really upset me too much.

But again, no “Gun Death” here!
