Action Needed on Fetal Homicide-New Hampshire

Action Needed on Fetal Homicide

The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men." --Samuel Adams

The Criminal Justice committee has scheduled an executive session on HB217, fetal homicide, for October 20th, a Thursday... PLEASE put out the message -- alerts -- for people to call members of the Criminal Justice Committee. We need to finally get this thing passed. Next session we might not have the numbers, so it is really important to get it through this time.

> Moe Villeneuve, Bedford, a usual pro-lifer, on the committee, was swayed by Civil Liberties and voted against us in Sept. Please make sure he comes around. Please encourage Dave Welch, Kingston, as well. He has opposed us in the past, but has promised to help me this year, and I would love to see him do this. The whole Criminal Justice comm. should be called, as well, as they will be making the recommendation to the full house on Oct. 20th.

> All these reps have been provided testimony by NHRTL, Cornerstone, Americans United for Life, etc., as well as press stories over the past twenty years, showing the devastation to a family when an unborn is the victim of homicide and not even acknowledged in our criminal code. They all KNOW that the existing assault statute is NOT sufficient. IF a woman lives the assault, she can sue for loss of her property! If she dies, there is nothing, child never existed. The father is left with no state acknowledgement that his child ever existed. Most states have updated their criminal laws to include the unborn - at various stages. This bill includes the unborn at all stages. It makes it a crime to kill the unborn, and if the woman dies, then there are TWO deaths, both crimes. Pro-aborts are afraid to acknowledge the reality of unborn life, fearing loss of ROE. BUT, N.H. laws already do acknowledge the unborn child in our tax and inheritance statutes!
