To the editor:

The Alabama legislature is well on the way to passing a fetal protection bill which will make it murder to kill a fetus - meaning that if a pregnant woman is killed that the killer will be charged with two murders. Unfortunately, this will not protect the fetus from being killed.

But another bill on the way to passage can protect those fetuses. This bill will protect anyone who kills someone they think is threatening them in their home or vehicle.

The answer to the weakness of the fetal protection bill will be solved if we just add the word “womb” to the “home or vehicle” clause in that bill. They we can require doctors to implant little guns in every pregnant woman so that little bugger can defend itself.

That’s the Alabama way, at least in an election year.
