New legal ground: Implications of charging abortionists with murdering fetuses

Important article here from Jill Stanek.
On December 28 a Maryland grand jury indicted abortionists Steven Brigham and Nicola Riley on several counts of first and second degree murder of viable, preborn babies.
Authorities began investigating Brigham and Riley in August 2010 after the two behaved suspiciously when dumping an 18-yr-old victim of a botched abortion at a hospital near Brigham’s Elkton mill (pictured below left). 
Found in that mill were 35 late-term aborted babies in a freezer, many believed viable, one full-term at 36 weeks, according to an AP report. 
Brigham is now locked up in New Jersey and Brigham in Utah, both awaiting extradition.
Cecil County District Attorney Ellis Rollins told Reuters, “This is probably the first case that Maryland has ever seen with this factual scenario using this statute.” 
Actually this is the first case the United States has ever seen that uses a fetal homicide law to charge abortionists with murder.
