anonymous:
If a person dies while giving birth should the baby be charged with involuntary manslaughter?
cultureshift:
Generally, there are two types of involuntary manslaughter: 1) criminal-negligence manslaughter; and 2) unlawful-act manslaughter. The first occurs when death results from a high degree of negligence or recklessness, and the second occurs when death is caused by one who commits or attempts to commit an unlawful act, usually a misdemeanor.
I will let the above definition speak for itself. You’ll have to try harder to validate the ‘abortion self-defense’ fallacy.
