New Law Recognizes Fetuses as Persons

Spartacus and Not PC submitted this link to news that the Unborn Victims of Violence Act was recently passed, which will make it a federal crime to harm a pregnant woman, because the fetus also may be harmed. The bill specifically makes an exemption allowing for women to abort the "person," so there is a great deal of controversy over whether this is contradictory. It certainly seems so to me.
