Food for thought - if the mother had wanted her child to miscarry, would the airman have been convicted, or even charged? It is completely irrational that the life of the child is considered valuable and worthy of protection under the law in this case, but not in the approximate 3,7000 cases of abortion in the US each day alone. Biological science holds that life begins at conception and that the unborn child is alive within the womb. This same truth exists for the baby in this legal case and all babies who are purposefully killed by abortion each day. All of their lives should be valued and protected to the fullest extent of the law.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An airman in Alaska has been sentenced to almost 10 years behind bars after being found guilty of trying to force his wife to miscarry by lacing her food with ulcer medication.
Airman 1st Class Scott Boie of Milton, Wis., had faced more than 26 years confinement at his sentencing Saturday at Elmendorf Air Force Base. Beside his 9 1/2 year sentence, Boie also was dishonorably discharged.
Master Sgt. Demetrius Lester says Boie was convicted in a court-martial Friday night of attempting to kill an unborn child.
Boie was found not guilty of intentionally killing the unborn child, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of life without the possibility of parole.
Boie's attorneys have said his wife's history of smoking and troubled pregnancies may have caused the miscarriage last year.
