I believe it is only double homicide if the fetus is viable outside the womb.
I don't have exact links for this, but I can look if you want.

I believe it, don't need links. I never said it happens often, but it has happened. I'm just pointing out that there are some inconsistencies.
EDIT: After reading through the thread, I'm surprise at the number of "my body, my choice" responses. I never really understood how someone could have this opinion, even when I leaned more pro choice (I sway on this issue alot). Why? Because it's not about the woman's body. Yes, you can do what you want with your body. Get 20 piercings on your face or get a tattoo of daffy duck on your ass, I don't care. But when it comes to abortion, ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU. You have to make a decision for the life that's growing in your body. 2 people are involved in this equation, not just 1, and I have always believed that.
