“The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-212) is a United States law which recognizes an embryo or fetus in utero as a legal victim, if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence. The law defines "child in utero" as "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb".”

Side: Yes

This answer is predicated on the fetus not being considered a being, legally, until born.

Good thought. I would say that this would have an emotional effect in the sentencing but legally no, only one person died

Please see Amarel's response to the question, but if you can't be bothered then have a look at the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004", making embryos and fetuses legal victims in "any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence." The bill states that a "child in utero" is "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development".

So when you pound deep into a Pregnant woman are you committing pedophilia? xD

No, because while killing the mother cuts of the fetus' nutrition, having sex with the mother doesn't also invalidate (for lack of a better word) the fetus.
