Urgent Action against the trap of the "Unborn Victims of Crime Act"

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:13:25 -0400

First paragraph (Teaser):

Explanation :
The Purpose of Bill C-484, is to amend the Criminal Code so that charges can be laid in all cases causing the death of an unborn child. The goal of the MP was, it seems, to make it particularly criminal to knowingly do violence to a pregnant woman and cause the death of the fetus. But, the way it is written, it grants a separate legal status to the fetus. Pro-life and certain religious conservatives hope to invoke the principle of this law in order to criminalize a doctor practising a voluntary abortion. Of course, as you can guess, the Conservative Party of Canada refuses to correct this private bill and votes massively For! Yet, if they did not have a hidden goal, Conservative MPs would simply amend it to make it state that it is a grave crime to knowingly harm a pregnant woman, period. - Michaël Lessard

=> Quebec's National Assembly reacted against this law

=> The Bloc and the NDP vote Against, but 27 Liberal MPs voted For
