I Believe Women Should Have The Right To Give Birth

That's the Unborn Victims Of Crime Act in one sentence. The bill is to protect every woman's right to keep her baby if she wishes so. And that's why it's worth supporting.

Right now, the laws give no special protection to women who choose motherhood. If someone uses force against a pregnant woman, harming her unborn baby, he gets charged with assaulting the woman, but he's never held accountable for causing injury or death to a baby which the woman wanted to keep. Under C-484 he'd be charged with both crimes. And that's the way it should be, because:
I believe women should have the right to give birth.

P.S. Thanks to John Pacheco for the promo line.
