But I see where you're coming from. I honestly never thought of it like that. It's hard to believe this guy is a human being to do anything as horrible as that. But can see how even under less hypothetical or horrific circumstances, like in domestic violence and spousal abuse, where it could be more than possible than would like to believe. To kill an unborn child as a consequence of abusing the mother, there's no way the attacker could get away with just abuse.
