04/02/2004: "President signs unborn victim bill"

Not that it is a surprise, but it is always nice to report when something finally happens. Let's pray that this new law never needs to be used.

An interesting note about this bill is that is only applies to federal laws and that many states, including California, already have laws like this on the books for state laws. That's why Scott Peterson is being charged with two murders. No law can be enacted retroactively, so they couldn't enact this law now and apply it to Mr. Peterson because his act was already done. Luckily for us all, California had the foresight to enact a similar state law many years ago.
