Fetal Rights?

Wow, it has just been a banner day, hasn't it? I found this particularly alarming. The House just passed a bill that would criminalize killing a fetus. That is, if someone, in committing violence against a pregnant woman kills a fetus in the process, that killing of the fetus would be a separate crime. It is no secret that this is just a back door way to attempt to overturn Roe v. Wade. The bill defines a fetus , or rather an "unborn child" as "a member of the species homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb." Not that you needed another reason, but this just adds to the list of reasons why we should all go to The March for Women's Lives.
