Fetal homicide bill to get first hearing

Raleigh, N.C. — A bill that would punish people who harm a fetus at any stage of development gets its first hearing in the North Carolina General Assembly Wednesday.

A House judiciary committee holds hearings Wednesday on House Bill 215, which would make it a felony for an attacker to kill or injure a fetus at any stage of development, whether or not anyone knew about the pregnancy.

The legislation makes clear that it doesn't apply to legal abortions, but critics say the bill could give legal status to forming fetuses who are unable to survive outside their mother's womb.
