Steven Ertelt's LifeNews.com has this report in the News Briefs section of their web site: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...

"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.

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."
