North Carolina Residents Upset Dogs More Important Than Moms, Babies

Raleigh, NC (Lifenews.com) -- Residents of North Carolina join pro-life groups in being upset about how a bill to protect police dogs has sailed through the legislature while another to give protection and justice for pregnant women and their unborn children has stalled. The father of a young, pregnant mom found stabbed to death says he does not understand. The law enforcement animal has new protection with a new law. In a nutshell, the law says kill a police dog, and go to jail. But that's hard to swallow for the father of a pregnant woman who was stabbed to death in Raleigh last month. Jenna Nielson was eight months pregnant with a boy she planned to name Ethen. "I just don't understand why you would pass a law for a dog, but not a child," said Kevin Blaine, Jenna Nielson's father. North Carolina law does not allow two murder charges for the death of a pregnant mother. Some lawmakers have introduced a bill to change that, but it's bottled up in a committees as abortion advocates have opposed it. "This was a murder," Blaine told ABC News. "This had nothing to do with abortion or any of the other things that may be clouding this issue up."
