"A pregnant Georgia woman, who led police on a high speed chase, will likely be charged in the death of the 24-week-old baby she was carrying.
Police said Jessica Bruce, 21, refused to stop her car Wednesday night when they tried to pull her over for speeding. Bruce fled, struck a car, spun into oncoming traffic and was hit by another car, totaling her vehicle and killing the fetus, authorities said."

I believe with all my heart and intellect that abortion is murder. It's the intellect that's causing a bit of a problem with this story.
Let's say, just for argument, that Ms. Bruce had been traveling to the Atlanta Surgical Center to have an abortion performed on her and the crash had happened right outside the parking lot. Would she still be charged with murder? Car crash or scalpel, the results would be the same; one dead baby. Yet, in the eyes of the law, one is murder, the other surgery.
And yet we wonder why there is so little respect for the law. Personally, I find it impossible to respect anything that divorces itself from logic and consistency. The law has become less about supporting freedom and more about enforcing control and special interest. Why should we respect it?
