"county's medical examiner indicates that the fetus was premature and not viable at the time of the miscarriage"

Could someone tell me what this means? "the fetus was not viable", it was not yet a baby maybe. Hell if that is the case most doctors commit greater crimes. The title shocked me, then I found out the mother assisted wanted it, than I read this. How far along was she?? I guess it BEATS paying for an abortion.

The mother gets off??? Isn't there such a thing as aiding in a crime. It sounds a bit like zealous prosecution, possibly a new law to give an extra charge so people are less willing to harm mothers/women who may be carrying a fetus and wants to have a baby. Not sure if it was meant to be prosecuted in this way but that is the funny thing about laws and lawyers. I think they may be just looking to prosecute someone under this law. To me it sounds like they could use this law to prevent doctors from performing miscarriages (abortions) on fetuses even a few weeks old. Just the way it is worded.

Intentional conduct against a pregnant individual resulting in miscarriage or stillbirth

Doesn't say that the mother allows it or not, when the mother pays the Doctor than the Doctor has Intent to cause miscarriage. So that is it for the US, no more abortions, it sounds like a federal law, the prosecution of this kid is just the first step. As far as I know a miscarrage can occur during any time of the pregnancy, a couple days even. The beating thing also seems a bit odd, the mother wasn't hurt, no broken ribs, no internal bleeding, no bruising. Weird!!! Did they even find the fetus?? All sounds fishy to me.
