A License To Kill

From WCCO.com:
Woman's Unborn Child Killed In Maplewood Assault

A 12-week-old unborn child was killed Sunday after an assault in Maplewood, Minn., according to authorities.

The incident happened at an apartment building on the 1800 block of Beebe Road.

According to police, an 18-year-old woman was taken to St. John's Hospital just after 11 a.m. The woman was about 12 weeks pregnant and miscarried at the hospital.

According to Maplewood Police Lt. Dave Kvam, a 20-year-old suspect has been arrested for the assault and is being held on suspicion of the murder of an unborn child.
Since when is it illegal to kill an unborn child in Minnesota? It actually happened in this state more than 65,000 times over the four year period ending in 2004.

I guess it's only against the law to kill a baby when the murderer is not a licensed physician.
