18. Editors subliminally giving personhood status to "unborn child"
The personhood status is what the next roadblock for anti-abortion groups. That was part of the opposition argument in the debate over 'Conner's Law'.

There is no mention of 'doctors were unable to save Curry's unborn child'. Just that her sister says she was pregnant--also not reporting how many months pregnant. She may have just found out a week ago for all we know!

It could have read "Crash Kills 2 Women, One Pregnant" or "Crash Kills Woman and Pregnant Friend" or some other descriptor of the pregnant woman. But, putting ", unborn child" is also pushing to place it front and center in the public debate.
