Victims' families push for fetal homicide law :: WRAL.com.
North Carolina law does not consider the death of an unborn child in a murder case to be a separate homicide. House Bill 890 would have allowed the state to prosecute for murder in cases where the child dies as a result of an attack on the mother. However, the bill never made it out of judiciary committee.
“For one or two individuals to be against this bill and not allow the North Carolina House or the North Carolina Senate to take a full vote on this bill is a total outrage," said Jeff Gerber, a political activist and founder of the nonpartisan coalition Justice for All.
