Kidnapping the Unborn?
Read the following on MSNBC.com
"A . . . woman is to stand trial next April in the abduction of an unborn girl taken from the womb of Bobbie Jo Stinnett in December 2004 in Skidmore, Mo. The baby survived."

I don't understand. If a woman pays a doctor to "take" her unborn child from her womb in an abortion, it is called a paid medical procedure. If a woman forcefully takes a baby from another woman's womb it is kidnapping (and murder if the unborn baby dies).
Why is it o.k. for a woman to pay to have her child killed? Shouldn't that be illegal too? Doesn't the kidnapping charge legally demonstrate that an unborn "fetus" (i.e. child) is a person? If the unborn weren't people then they couldn't be kidnapped. If I stole your arm it wouldn't be kidnapping, it would simply be asault.
Our society continues to boggle and twist all rational logic in this (and many other) areas.
