California Supreme Court (CSC) does something right

From the Associated Press

The CSC strengthened the States fetus protection law. It ruled 6 to 1 that if a person kills a woman and didn't know she was pregnant, it will count as a double murder. The case was a result of a man who was convicted of murdering a women and her unborn child. He claimed he couldn't be held responsible for killing the fetus because he did not know and had no way of telling she was pregnant. The court ruled that fact didn't matter. Because of his actions the fetus died and so the man is guilty of killing both.
