Manslaughter is defined simply as an accidental death. I am not sure how manslaughter applies to a fetus as it is not yet born. Tricky to say the least. She could be charged with negligence, that I can understand. Gypsy is point on about how this could happen in various ways, and I must say a person is probably more likely to fall down a flight of stairs in the third tri than get in a car accident. I also dont agree with the premise that because she was driving she is being charged. If she is advised that she should have a driver the same thing could have happened.
Tallg, huge difference between having a newborn and an unborn baby in the car. If you can put a feotus in a car seat I would love to see this.
