Rhode Island House approves quick child murder bill
In Providence the Rhode Island House approved a bill inspired by Dr. Kenneth Edelin's Boston manslaughter conviction. It defines a quick child as delivering heart beat, brain waves, movement, and survivability, with an exception when the mother's life is at risk. Opponents argue it breaches Supreme Court abortion rulings and could expose doctors to manslaughter charges. The measure, already Senate-approved, heads to Gov. Wolcott.
