Unborn Victims Legislation Named for Laci Peterson
Lawmakers debated an unborn victims bill named after Laci Peterson and her unborn child Conner. The measure would penalize attacks on pregnant women and recognize the unborn as a victim. opponents warn it could challenge abortion rights. The bill narrowly survived an amendment, with votes reflecting split positions on life start and prosecutorial scope. Peterson’s case remains central, with her husband Scott Peterson on trial for double murder.
