If Abortion isn't Murder .....

Because they can.

They throw the "burden of proof" on those who are financially unable to defend themselves in order to drain all the cash they can before they suck all of the blood from this "perp". I wouldn't be the least surprised if he was the recipient of years of psychological abuse as well as possibly being innocent here. They need to tell more about this story before I can draw any further conclusiuons. The fact that they call this "two murders" speaks volumes here.

I don't get it either, Pagan. It seems they want to and have it both ways. If the mother does it, it a choice, if the father does it, it's murder.

You've made a solid point there. If we don't consider abortion murder, how can that be considered murder? I'm not for abortion, but I don't consider it murder, but this guy? I'd gladly throw the rope around his neck myself. It's quite the contradiction, but you get what I mean. Well, maybe hypocritical or... ah Hell, you pitched a question on social issues that I can't answer, good job, I owe you a drink!

I believe this goes down to how contradictory and out of touch our laws are.  If Abortion is legal then there is no legal standing on charging anyone for murder of a fetus, but if they're going to uphold this charge than Abortion is murder.  Why hasn't this been challenged? 

Emotions.  We might be disgusted by the murder of a pregnant woman, but can we keep our laws out of it?  All codes of conduct seem to stem from a moral or emotional impetus.  There is not neutrality in those things.  Those who cry for an objective justice usually have an irrational motivation.

Imagine this happening in a country where population controls are mandated.  A child's life is 'devalued' to the point where it solely affects statistics.  Perhaps our insistence for adhering to our conventions is folly: Perhaps we do need to admit that we truly feel a fetus' life is inviolate and make it illegal to end that life.  The price in that case must be the admission of some other truths about ourselves as sexual creatures and social acceptance of the results of our nature.  This will fly in the face of those who would like their personal morality made law.  But you can not have the sanctity of life end at birth; and then how do we uphold the sanctity of life as a society by preying upon each other like we do?  An honest life demands that we consider all other people our family and use this truth as the foundation of all our social endeavors.  Right now, we have the opposite lie: All other people are 'others' and ripe for our prejudices and fear.  Things attributed to human nature are actually lies, dogma, and the inexcusable made excused.  

Talk about a can of worms, this issue of the 'unborn'.

Well he is charged for murdering his wife. And he is charged because by murdering his wife he kills the child too. Would be the same if he had killed one of these twins that are sharing one body.

Abortion is no murder at all.

Then why is he being charged for a double murder?  He should only be charged with the murder of the Mother, if he is charged with murder of the Fetus then the State is recognizing the Fetus as a human being.
