"Unborn Victims of Violence Act"


  

          

i got this in the email from okayplayer BlackAdder (HEY! ), check this out...

Hey People!! Please don't sleep on staying involved. Even though many people are disillusioned, there are lives at stake (including yours). many people think that reproductive rights or choice ends and begins with the abortion issue. as queers, people or color, women, immigrants and youth our rights to our own bodies have historically and contemporarily challenged and controlled by the most autocratic and facist elements of the State. forced sterilization, experimentation on our bodies, environmental racism and sexism, all these tie in to rights to control your own body. This Act below is scary and dangerous. Protect yourselves and protect others!! Read on:

Peace and Blessings,

Shante aka BlackAdder

This issue is monumental, and I figured I should send this to my friends across
the states instead of just here in NYC... I already know how Hillary and
Chuck are going to vote (I hope).
The first link below is to the actual text of the bill that is currently
before the Senate (S. 480). The second link is an ACLU action form,
allowing you to input your zip code and send an email, fax, or letter to
your senator.
On April 26th the House of Representatives passed the Unborn Victims of
Violence Act by a vote of 252 to 172. The bill establishes criminal
penalties for causing harm or death to an "unborn child" during an assault
on a pregnant woman and represents a backdoor attempt to undermine Roe v.
Wade by establishing rights for the fetus. The bill now moves to the Senate
where it faces stiff opposition. However, Bush has signaled he supports the
measure, effectively upping the ante in the high stakes struggle to preserve
reproductive freedom.
For more information and the text of the bill:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d107:s.00480:
For the ACLU Action mail form:

I hope you're all doing fabulously. Take care.
-Hillary
