Have a read of the article, Mother vows to fight for law change over death of unborn child. Interestingly, the article quotes one lawyer who is in favor of changing the law for the better, with a pro-life view:

“An unborn baby, we all know, is no different really from a baby who was delivered maybe two days later and equipped with a birth certificate. It's nonsense to distinguish between the two.”

Yes, common sense tells us that we do all know that there's no difference between a baby two-days in the womb or two-days out of the womb. Unfortunately, we have some laws and a larger prevailing attitude that is a far cry from this common sense approach.
