An Interesting abortion related case from texas
Jerry Flores, an 18 year old man from Lufkin Texas, and his 16 year old girlfriend were about to become the parents of twin boys. His girlfriend did not like this fact, and was trying to terminate the pregnancies on her own. Unsuccessful, she enlisted Jerry’s help, and he successfully ended the pregnancy by standing on his girlfriend’s abdomen.
Now, the girlfriend is out and about (Texas law permits the mother to terminate a pregnancy), but Jerry stands charged with capitol murder under a new Texas law protecting unborn children. The disparity in treatment for the crime that both parents conspired in has not been lost on the prosecutor, who is reported to have misgivings about the resulting application of the abortion and fetal homicide laws.
