The Incongruity of our Nation!

I am baffled. This is absurd and honestly makes no sense. If you can shed some light; please do.

Are you aware that in 25 states you would be charged with homicide for killing a fetus (knowingly killing an unborn child, whether by assault or murder of the pregnant woman)? The only exclusion to this is if the mother kills the baby herself. Oh, yes, of course, that makes sense! In 10 more states you can be charged the same way at a certain point in the pregnancy (typically the average "viable" age)?

Is this not incredulous! In the federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act it specifically states, "The law defines "child in utero" as "a member of the species homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb."

I am certainly not against this ruling I am just confused at the polarity of the laws in our nation.
