Two Murders - Only One Count

Surrey, B.C., June 17, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Yesterday, two men were convicted of first-degree murder in the stabbing of a pregnant Surrey B.C. woman in 2005. One of the men, Amjad Khan, was the father of the unborn baby. However, neither of the men was prosecuted for the death of the child, since no provision currently exists in Canadian law to do so.

This recent conviction comes in the wake of a growing trend of abuse and violent crimes aimed at pregnant women. Frequently such attacks are perpetrated by the partners of women who refuse to abort a child not wanted by the father.
...
No justice has been obtained for the murder of the unborn baby because Canada has no laws protecting the unborn. For this reason, MP Ken Epp has introduced the widely approved-of private members bill C-484.

Bill C-484 seeks to prosecute anyone who harms an unborn baby without a mother's consent. The bill is currently waiting to enter third reading in the House of Commons.
Opponents of bill C-484 keep claiming that the bill is "about abortions", that it would grant personhood to the unborn and that it would lead to prosecution of women, rather than protecting mothers and their babies from abuse. None of that is true. The bill falls short of granting personhood to the unborn, it merely defines wanted unborn babies as objects worthy of protection. Abortions and other actions performed by the mother are specifically exempted.

The text of the bill makes it clear - it's purpose is to prosecute the offender who harms an unborn baby while committing an offense against the mother. And yet radical pro-aborts keep making up arguments in their attempt to block the bill. Why? Because it will recognize a wanted unborn baby as a separate body which is valuable to the baby's mother. Because it will show the true nature of abortion, exposing all the selfishness and violence that are masqueraded by the word "choice".
Abortion: what a great invention for selfish men.

“Honey, you’re going to the abortion clinic tonight and you’ll like it, dammit. If you don’t, I’ll kick you in the stomach and kill that clump of cells.”

No law against coercion. No law against harming an unborn child.
