Feticide?

Burlington woman charged with attempting to kill fetus | GazetteOnline.com: "A Burlington woman is accused of trying to end her pregnancy by allegedly falling down stairs because police say she was mad at her husband." I cannot believe we have legalized abortion on demand, yet we still can charge for the murder of a fetus (baby in the womb). I've seen double murder charges when someone killed the mother and therefore the baby dies. But this is the first I've seen the mother charged for attempting to kill her baby while the baby is still in her womb. Of course the irony is she could have had the same thing done if she just told a "doctor" to do it for her.
