How can you die before you're born?

An article in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Paper brings to light the disturbing truth that there are laws about "concealing the death of an unborn child". But HOW CAN THE CHILD DIE IF IT IS NOT YET BORN? This reveals only one of the mislabled and misused terms in the abortion debate.

In this particular case, the woman had a miscarriage in private and did not dispose of the remains properly, according to the law.

While "the county medical examiner determined Friday that the female fetus died in utero at about 19 to 20 weeks gestation", I ask again, how can a fetus "die"?

Luckily, the lawyer "plans to argue that a fetus cannot be a corpse", and restates that "'Pennsylvania law says there should be no criminal liability imposed upon a pregnant woman in regard to crimes against her unborn child.' He said the law dates to 1751 and was reaffirmed by the state Supreme Court as recently as 2001."

THIS is why we all need to pay attention to the laws being made around us, and not let others choose for everyone.
