Abortion is the woman's choice. Being shot in the stomach, for example, and having her unborn child killed is not choice. There is a difference.

The laws here in Australia are different to your laws, it would seem. Our laws do not allow prosecution for the death of a fetus, as a fetus is not considered human until birth, and is, therefore, without legal rights.
