	National Right to Life Committee urges passage of Unborn Victims of Violence Act
		WASHINGTON (May 12, 2003) -- The terrible murder of Laci Peterson and her unborn son Conner in California have drawn public attention to a degree beyond any previous unborn victim case.
		Under current federal law, if a criminal who commits a violent federal crime (for example, interstate stalking and assault, or a terrorist bombing) that wounds a pregnant woman and kills her unborn child, he is not charged with any loss of human life.
		There is one reason that such injustices continue: Pro-abortion groups such as NARAL have blocked unborn victims laws in many states, and they have blocked the federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act since 1999 in the U.S. Senate.

	Douglas Johnson on Unborn Victims of Violence Act on National Review Online
		Pregnant women are often among the victims of crimes that are covered by federal law — terrorist bombings, killings performed by persons engaged in major drug enterprises, domestic violence on military bases, attacks that follow interstate stalkings, and many others.
		Under the bill, if a pregnant woman is a victim of any of 68 federal crimes, and her unborn child is injured or killed, the bill allows the prosecutor to bring a second charge on behalf of the second victim.
		Supporters of the UVVA call it the "single-victim substitute," because it would actually write into federal law the doctrine that even when the mother survives and her unborn child dies, the mother was the only victim, and no one's life was lost.

		The family of Laci Peterson and her unborn child, Conner, also know what it's like to be told they lost only one family member to murder, as one feminist leader claimed.
		The Unborn Victims of Violence Act will allow prosecutors to go after those who injure or kill an unborn child while committing a violent federal crime.

	RCRC: "Unborn Victims of Violence Act" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Senate and the House of Representatives passed the dangerous and deceptive fetal personhood bill, called the &#8220;Unborn Victims of Violence Act”; (UVVA), continuing their program of enacting a broad anti-choice, anti-woman agenda.
		Supporters of UVVA make two claims: that it will protect pregnant women from assault and murder and that when a pregnant woman is assaulted or murdered there are two victims, the woman and her &#8220;unborn child.”
		Taking the two arguments in reverse order, the Religious Coalition believes that passing a law declaring a fertilized egg, embryo or fetus to be a child amounts to imposing one religious view about the beginning of life on all citizens, which is absolutely the wrong thing for government to do.

	Statement on the Unborn Victims of Violence Act
		The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2001, H.R. 503, would amend title 18, United States Code, for the laudable goal of protecting unborn children from assault and murder.
		By specifically exempting from prosecution both abortionists and the mothers of the unborn (as is the case with this legislation), Congress appears to say that protection of the unborn child is not only a Federal matter but conditioned upon motive.
		Here, however, we have the odd legal philosophy that an abortionist with full knowledge of his terminal act is not subject to prosecution while an aggressor acting without knowledge of the child's existence is subject to nearly the full penalty of the law.
