FORT MITCHELL, Kentucky (AP) -- A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child.

"I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child," Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America" in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."

Several pregnant women have been killed in recent years by attackers who then removed their fetuses, in some cases to pass the children off as their own.

In December, a Missouri woman was strangled and her baby was cut from her womb. The baby was later found alive, and a Kansas woman was charged with kidnapping resulting in death.

In 2003, a woman was shot to death in Oklahoma, allegedly by another woman who then pretended the 6-month-old fetus was her child. That fetus died.

Brady, who is nine months pregnant and due with a girl any day, said the baby is a blessing.

"I think I'm extremely lucky," Brady said. "I'm just glad I that I made it out with my baby alive."

3. If a fetus is deemed to be a full-fledged person

shouldn't this fetus be charged with being an accomplice to murder?

4. I don't know about accomplice to murder

But it should bring new meaning to "involuntary manslaughter"
