We Support Justice for Unborn Babies

In a terrible and horrific crime, a woman attacked Michelle Wilkins (below) and cut her 7-month-old unborn baby from her womb. Despite this unbelievable act of violence, Michelle Wilkins is expected to survive.

Tragically, her unborn baby died.

Unfortunately, prosecutors will not be able to bring charges against the attacker for the unborn child’s death because Colorado state law does not regard unborn children as human beings who deserve justice when they are killed. In 2013, Colorado Democrats killed a bill that would add the state to the list of more than 25 states that provide justice and protection for pregnant women and unborn children.

Sarah Zagorski, the Executive Director of Colorado Citizens for Life said, “This horrific case highlights the need for an Unborn Victims of Violence law in Colorado, which would recognize the unlawful killing of an unborn child as homicide. This woman’s baby was viable and suffered a cruel and violent death. Colorado should have laws punishing perpetrators of these innocent, defenseless victims.”

We, the undersigned, support an Unborn Victims of Violence Law that will hold criminals accountable for killing unborn children in attacks against their mothers.
