In AL stand your ground laws it is perfectly reasonable to use deadly force when " they believe the other person is engaged in kidnapping, assault, robbery, or rape.". I believe being beaten against a car falls under that definition. There is no escalation of force matrix for civilians in a stand your ground state, just that they're not the instigator. This is not even close to accidentally falling down stairs. You misread my logic and took the extreme, and are arguing ad absurdum to demonstrate your slippery slope instead of addressing my examples in good faith. I agree that women aren't just incubators and they have rights the same as everyone else. That "everyone else", in Alabama, includes the fetus they are carrying though.
That's why I used the example of instead of a fetus, it was a child bystander. So I'll ask it plainly again Can you honestly say that the victim of an accidental death in a drive-by shouldn't have the shooter punished?

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
