"Laci Peterson 's pregnancy was far past the point of viability , so she would not have been able to get an abortion unless her health was in danger . Also , an abortion is a legal medical procedure , while cutting a fetus out of a woman with a knife is not . If I ran up to you and knocked you out and then performed some pseudo medical procedure on you , I 'd be arrested , regardless of whether or not you could get a legitimate version of that procedure on your own ."
"But if the fetus is n't a human , then it 's not murder ."
