The justices then ruled that couple's wrongful death legal case could go forward.

法官随后裁定，这对夫妇的不当死亡诉讼可以继续进行。

Mitchell said the court had ruled earlier that fetuses killed while a woman is pregnant are covered under Alabama's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act.

米切尔表示，该法院早些时候裁定，在女性怀孕期间被杀的胎儿适用于阿拉巴马州的《未成年人非正常死亡法》。
