BANGKOK, Nov 7 (TNA) – Justice Minister Somsak Thepsutin is looking for optional help for a fetus that died in the nursery massacre in Nong Bua Lam Phu province on Oct 6.

 

The minister said that financial compensation was paid to the cases of 36 victims on Oct 9 but that excluded the fetus case.

 

The eight-month fetus was in the womb of a teacher identified as “Pon” who was killed in the massacre at the nursery of the Uthai Sawan local administrative organization in Na Klang district on Oct 6.

Can somebody explain to me why the death of a fetus should matter, when abortion is pushed to be legalised ? If a woman 3 months pregnant has an abortion, should there ever be a charge for killing a 3 month fetus and not just an assault on the mother ? Either a fetus's life has value or it does not. Sensible debate please.

The three months parameter doesn't apply here. She was 8 months pregnant and could have delivered a healthy baby...
