Well, that gang of dyk..er...sweethearts over at the National Organization for Women (NOW) has finally weighed in on the Laci Peterson murder case.

Being a "women's rights" group, of course they spoke out to denounce this senseless act of violence upon a woman, right? Or perhaps they spoke out to condemn what was potentially a horrendous act of domestic violence?

Wrong. They wanted to make sure we all understood that Laci Peterson's baby was not actually a person.

This paragon of "women's rights" wanted to ensure that Scott Peterson was only charged with one murder, rather than two (which in California would constitute a "special circumstance" and make him eligible for the death penalty), by declaring that the Petersons' eight-month old fetus, who was found two miles from his mother's corpse, who had different DNA from his mother, who had been alive up until the time that he and his mother were killed and dumped into the San Francisco Bay, was not actually a human being capable of being murdered.

Nice.
