Would you think a woman was justified in stabbing a man who just punched a one week old baby? How about one that had a medical condition that meant hitting the baby could likely lead to the child's death?

Basically they're saying that lethal force for the defense of an unborn child should be held to the same standard as lethal force in defense of any other person. You'd still need to prove it in court, but they're saying it should be a legal option for your defense.

In many states because of how laws are written, you don't have any right to defend a fetus because it's not a person in the eyes of the law, it's a thing.

Google is your frenemy.
