State Supreme Court Upholds Fetal Homicide Law

In a refreshing change from most court actions regarding Pro-Life issues, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the fetal homicide law that had been challenged in Wilkes-Barre.

The defense in this case argued that the state’s fetal homicide law was too vague because it did not require the fetus to be viable outside the womb.

The court found that the act’s definition of life to include all stages of gestation was straightforward and easily understandable by an average person.
