The date was December 24th, 2002, a man out of Modesto, California calls the Modesto Police Department to report his pregnant wife missing, does this one sentence recap recall any famous cases in the United States? The case that I am referring to is the Scott Peterson case. In the weeks, months, and years to follow this man's picture was plastered all over the national news for the disappearance of his pregnant wife Laci and their unborn son Conner. Laci was 8 months pregnant at the time and her body was found April 13th, 2003 in the bay where Scott had reportedly gone fishing on Christmas Eve of 2002. Scott was arrested on April 18th, 2003 and he was evenutally tried and convicted with two counts of first degree murder. One count for the murder of his wife Laci and one count for the murder of their unborn son Conner under the first degree. First degree meaning premeditated. So why is Scott being tried with two counts of murder---Just follow me here. How can we as Americans charge him with the murder of his unborn son and yet we allow 3,700 babies to be aborted in clinics across the country daily? It seems like a double standard. The unborn's life counts when you murder the mother, but it doesn't count if the mother is living? I am quite confused. It seems like a double standard, and what are we saying as a population. If you do murder the unborn just make sure you go to Planned Parenthood to make it not a crime? If that is the case then Scott Peterson should have just taken his wife to an abortion facility and had Conner aborted before he committed his crime.
A life is a life, and life begins at conception. Scott Peterson deserves to be convicted of two counts of murder for the murders of Laci and Conner, but America needs to protect the unborn and stop standing behind the "it's a woman's choice" statement. 1% of all abortions performed are due to rape or incest, 1% of all abortions are due to fetal abnormalities, and 3% of all abortions are due to the health of the mother. Therefore 95% of all abortions performed are due to the following reasons:

Therefore 95% of all abortions performed are due to the following reasons:
- Wants to postpone childbearing: 25.5%
- Wants no (more) children: 7.9%
- Cannot afford a baby: 21.3%
- Having a child will disrupt education or job: 10.8%
- Has relationship problem or partner does not want pregnancy: 14.1%
- Too young; parent(s) or other(s) object to pregnancy: 12.2%
- Risk to maternal health: 2.8%
- Risk to fetal health: 3.3%
- Other: 2.1%
So let's stop using abortion as a birth control and murdering innocent life due to people's lack of use of contraception or poor planning. Yes, accidents due happen but that doesn't mean two wrongs make a right.
