Ken Epp's Private Members Bill,
the Unborn Victims of Crime Act

What do you think?

When a pregnant woman is murdered or assaulted, the Canadian Criminal Code does not provide for any charges to be laid in respect of the unborn child who is injured or dies as a result. Do you support legislation making it a separate offence to injure or kill an unborn child during an attack on the mother?

Far too true...

Men who are attractive to most women are rarities, in this country, at any rate. I think that it is because a man, to be attractive, must be free to give his whole time to it, and the Canadian male is so hounded by taxes and the rigors of our climate that he is lucky to be alive, without being irresistible as well.

- Robertson Davies, Canadian author
