LUFKIN, Texas — A 19-year-old accused of causing his teenage girlfriend to miscarry two fetuses by stepping on her stomach was convicted Monday of two counts of murder.
Gerardo Flores received an automatic life sentence because prosecutors did not seek the death penalty, which was available under the state’s 2003 fetus protection law.
Erica Basoria, 17, acknowledged asking Flores to help end her pregnancy; she could not be prosecuted because of her legal right to abortion…

KJL: If you’re anything like me, you just had to pause for an unladylike expletive.

More from the wire:

Basoria told authorities that, after about four months of pregnancy, she regretted not getting an abortion and started jogging and hitting herself to induce a miscarriage. When her efforts failed, she said she asked her boyfriend to help.
Flores did not testify, but earlier told police that he stepped on Basoria’s stomach several times during the week before she miscarried.

Feminist groups want to distance themselves from this ruling? They can’t, of course, because to do so would THREATEN CHOICE. It would be BAD FOR WOMEN.
