Generally, the rule is, if you kill two people, you're hit with two murder charges.

But if you kill a preborn baby via abortion, the baby is not considered a person, and it's not considered a murder.

Unless you kill the baby in some way other than abortion, in which case the baby is magically transformed back into a full human person again:

A Maryland man has been charged with two counts of murder in the death of a woman and her 38-week old unborn baby, The Washington Post reported.

Yeah, here's how WaPo reported that:

This man is charged with murdering his girlfriend and child, which at 38 weeks was mere days away from birth.

He also allegedly left their rotting bodies to decompose, but WaPo still can't be moved to sympathy for his child.

When police arrested Torrey Damien Moore, 31, for a separate fatal shooting of a convenience store clerk, they found the decomposing body of his pregnant 26-year-old girlfriend inside his Silver Spring apartment, authorities said on Monday. Police said the woman was shot seven times in early October.

Moore has since been charged in the deaths of the woman and her unborn baby and was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
