Regardless of opinion, the answer is no, because under Maryland law (I looked it up), abortions are legal up to viability, which is usually 24-25 weeks' gestation. She is only at 15 weeks, which means it is not considered a "life" under Maryland law. At best, he could also be charged with destruction of property, but not murder.

So now you have the answer to your question... somehow I don't feel like that will end this debate.
