New Poll: 68% of Canadians Want Their MP to Support the Unborn Victims Bill

VANCOUVER, June 25, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A recent Angus Reid Strategies online survey indicates that the majority of Canadians want their Members of Parliament to vote in favour of the "Unborn Victims of Crime Bill".

Conservative MP Ken Epp introduced Private Members' Bill C-484 in November 2007 to amend the Criminal Code in order to make it an offense to injure or cause the death of an unborn child without the consent of the mother.  Known as the Unborn Victims of Crime Act, this bill would recognize intentional assault upon an unborn child as a separate offense from an assault upon the pregnant mother.

According to the Angus Reid survey: "Two-thirds of respondents (68%) would like their Member of Parliament to vote in favour of this bill, while 13 per cent are opposed and 18 per cent are not sure. Atlantic Canada (80%) and Alberta (77%) hold the highest levels of support for the bill, while Quebecers (54%) are less enthusiastic."

The bill is currently waiting to enter third reading in the House of Commons.
