Replying to Random thing i don't understand

so i was reading this little tiny article in the newspaper today and it just didn't make sense. it said that some guy almost got the death pentaly for murdering a women that was pregnant. it didn't specify how along she was or much details much this sparks an interesting question. how come abortion is legal within like three months if killing a mother thats pregnant counts as a double murder. wtf man?

btw, i'm not for abortion but i do believe in the death pentaly
