Right to Life of Michigan applauds the federal government for recognizing the rights of pregnant women and their unborn children by addressing the fact that unborn children can be victims of violence.
Women suffer a separate loss when violence results in injury or death to their unborn children.
This legislation will recognize that loss. In Michigan, pregnant women and their unborn children have been protected by a similar law since 1998 when the Prenatal Protection Act was passed. When violence against women injures or causes the death of their unborn children, the punishment should fit the crime. Right to Life of Michigan is a nonpartisan, nonsectarian, nonprofit organization of diverse and caring people united to peacefully protect the precious gift of human life from fertilization to natural death.
