Re: Double murder? Abortion?
What jurisdiction are we talking about here? Where did these events occur?
In the US women have the choice of determining whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. Since it is her choice in the second situation then it is by law legal and is not murder.
The situation where another person takes the life of the pregnant woman, and thus also kills the unborn IS murder. It was not the womans choice to be murdered or to terminate the pregnancy.
