Broadening of Murder?
Yahoo! News - Utah Woman Charged With Murdering Fetus
The woman in question has been charged with murder after she refused to undergo a C-section which resulted in one of her twins being stillborn.
This case should be followed, because if she is convicted, at least in Utah, smoking during pregnancy could also be murder.
While I think anyone who smokes while pregnant is horrible, I still find such an expansion of the definition of murder scary.
