“Jury Finds Scott Peterson Guilty of Wife’s Murder,” reads this morning’s New York Times headline. In truth, as the body of the Times article points out, the jury found Peterson guilty for the double homicide of both Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Conner.

California is one of 31 states that protect unborn victims from violence, according to Americans United For Life, a pro-life law firm. In addition, the Federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act, also known as Laci and Conner’s Law, was signed into law by President Bush earlier this year. Planned Parenthood and other pro-choice groups opposed the legislation.
