The Companion Cube

I'm Hoodin. I am also The Companion Cube.

I do a daily feature on my blog called "Retro Classics" where I talk about one of the hundreds of retro video games I have in my collection! Check them out at the link below.

I enjoy the company/photography of girls, video games, macro photography, eating things, trying to be skinny, punk rock/the blues, alcohol and my cats (in that particular order).

I have two robot tattoos and will soon have a third. I have a 3DS. I am very friendly and enjoy making new friends on tumblr.

A question for my pro-choice friends:

If a pregnant woman is killed, do you charger the killer with one count of homicide or two? What if the mother is not killed, but the unborn baby is? Assault or assault and murder? I’m totally pro-choice, btw. Just want to hear your opinion.

  1. ryannacsavonne answered: it depends upon the time. if a woman is pregnant for a week I’m pretty sure that the killer is not charged for both counts of murder.
  2. greatergoods answered: What interests me about this (common) question is the assumption that no one’s getting a maximum sentence for ‘just’ killing a grown woman.
  3. jemaa answered: I guess both. I’d imagine. Why is this related to women’s rights? Unless she asked to be attacked?

    I replied to this on the actual post already, but thought I’d give...longer answer a go....
  5. cheebsontoast said: Doesn’t it come down to the word ‘choice’? You wouldn’t choose to have your baby killed by an attacker..Maybe I’ve missed the point because we don’t have this debate here, but choosing to have an abortion isn’t related to losing a baby in my eyes
  6. sallehbear answered: I don’t agree with abortion after whenever it is that a baby could survive outside the womb. So the same point for determining 2 counts or 1.
  7. withloveandinsanity answered: Assault (if the mother isn’t killed) with a little extra thrown in.
  8. theanti-theist answered: one count. the only thing you’re killing is the mother’s hopes. if that were against the law, denying her abortion should be too.
  9. answertolife42 answered: if you are pro choice and you dont consider abortion murder then just one count or assault, not really anything more
  10. sleepingwiththemoons answered: I guess in my opinion it would really matter how far along the child is..but I’m pretty sure the law counts it as murdering the child too.
  11. cupio-scire-omne answered: That would depend on 1. If she wanted to terminate the pregnancy, and 2. how far along she was.
  12. religiousragings answered: Tough one. Mother’s body, mother’s choice whether to count as one or two. If the mother is killed, then the father chooses? Interesting.
  13. cunt-meister answered: I reblogged and answered, thanks! That was an interesting question :)

  15. skeptikitty answered: I believe the law determines the charges based on whether or not the fetus could have lived outside the womb.
  16. n0-restrictions answered: exactly what i said in my post about abortion-killers are charged with two counts of murder and the people agree with that-im against abortio

    I think in these cases, two counts of murder are assigned (although it may depend on the gestation period and stage of...
  18. zim804 said: I honestly have no opinion on tw matter but I know in quite a few cases they have been charged with murder or man slaughter depending on the situation. I’m pro-choice, but I think it’s more of a situational thing. Abortion shouldn’t be a form of birth control.
  19. consubandcid answered: That’s an interesting question.

    In church, we learned a good argument against abortion is that when a woman is pregnant and she is murdered, even if in...
  21. k8st4r answered: Why is this for pro-choicers? Shouldn’t you be asking everyone this? I’m confused. Assault and murder. No one kills my baby but me.
