[QUOTE=Little-Acorn;915214]
I'll ask the obvious question. If this guy can get the death penalty for killing a fetus (and its mother), under this new 2003 Texas law defining a fetus as a person, what penalty do abortion doctors get for deliberately killing THOSE fetuses?

The article makes no mention of the man being convicted on two counts of murder, therefore we can only assume that he was convicted on one count of murder, ie stabbing the mother, and it is for that he is receiving the death penalty. I wouldn't try and read too much more into it.
