Great news! Unlike its predecessor (bill C-291 from the previous session), bill C-484, the Unborn Victims Of Crime Act, was not designated a non-votable item by the Committee. It will be voted on at second reading. Please contact your MP (no matter what party he's from) and ask him to support the bill that would establish legal protection for the unborn babies who lose their lives or get injured as result of attacks on pregnant mothers.
