A man in Michigan named Daniel Jarrett II kill his unborn child after he punched and kicked the abdomen of his 6-month-pregnant girlfriend after they had an argument about getting an abortion. He wanted her to have an abortion, she didn't.

"She got into an argument with the boyfriend about getting an abortion," said Karrick.

As the discussion became increasingly heated, Karrick said that the suspect grabbed the pregnant woman by the throat, threw her to the ground, and punched and kicked her repeatedly in the abdomen. She subsequently lost the baby, which was delivered dead on Saturday.
