California AG: Murder charges inappropriate in stillborn cases -- even when woman contributes to baby's death
Fox News
California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta advised Thursday that murder charges for women who have stillborn babies aren’t warranted even if the mother-to-be’s actions contributed to the death.
His online news conference was prompted by the California Future of Abortion Council, a group of abortion providers and advocacy groups, who asked Bonta to interpret state law.
Bonta said murder charges in a fetus death should be brought only against those whose violence against the mother causes the loss of the baby but shouldn’t include any actions the woman takes herself.
