Proposed law doubles murder charges for unborn victims
Pro-life groups urge Iowa to adopt the Lacy Peterson style law to treat the killing of a pregnant woman and her fetus as two murders. The measure would apply to unborn victims eight months gestation or more in crimes of violence and carry life without parole for first degree cases. Lawmakers weigh potential unintended consequences while opposing sides discuss the issue.
