Driver Charged in Crash That Killed Woman’s Unborn Child

***Begin Quote***

KITTANNING, Pa. — An Armstrong County woman has been charged after a car she was driving crashed into another vehicle, killing the other driver’s unborn child. Fifty-three-year-old Sheila Marlene Altman of Ford City has been arraigned on charges of vehicular homicide, drunken driving, homicide of an unborn child, involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault.

What I find interesting is that the gooferment picks and chooses when someone becomes a person deserving of its protection. The Constitution does cite the “right to life” as one of the principle reasons for the existence of any government. In this story, it’s an “unborn child”; if they were talking about abortion, it would have been a fetus. I’m confused.

Please don’t think I’m for driving carelessly, negligently, or stupidly. I am for a little consistency.
