FAMILIES OF NC MURDER VICTIMS PLEAD FOR UNBORN VICTIMS LAW
Press conference to be held in Chapel Hill on Saturday, Oct 31 at 11:00 am

(Chapel Hill, NC), October 28, 2009--On Saturday, October 31st, three families will be speaking in support of “The Unborn Victims of Violence” Act. The Unborn Victims Act would bring these families justice by recognizing, in law, the unborn child as a second victim when a pregnant woman and her unborn baby are murdered. The law would allow the State to prosecute for two murders instead of just one. The laws of thirty-five other states recognize the unborn child as a second victim.
