New Hampshire rejects law to protect unborn stemming from case involving Taxi Cab driver
This week the New Hampshire house rejected a bill that would have allowed prosecutors to charge people who kill a fetus with murder,manslaughter or negligent homicide.
The Law stems form a 2006 incident when a speeding motorist slammed his car into a cab killed a passenger and caused the driver to give birth to a still born fetus which was kept alive temporarily with life support.
The New Hampshire state supreme court tossed the conviction of the speeding motorist in the case of the baby because New Hampshire law requires that a fetus show signs of independent life before it can be classified as a person.
At press time it was unknown whether or not the speeding motorist was convicted of anything in the death of the taxi cab passenger.
