Peterson Case Renews Push For
Unborn Victims Law
Twenty-six states, including California, have laws on the books that recognize an unborn child
as a victim if it's killed during a crime. But there's no federal law addressing the issue. Now the
murders of Laci Peterson and her unborn son have renewed a push in Congress to change that.
Under California law, Scott Peterson faces two counts of murder. One for his wife, Laci --
who was eight months pregnant -- and the other  for their unborn son, Conner.
A group of Republican lawmakers Wednesday introduced similar legislation
that would apply to federal cases as well.
