Senate Passes Unborn Victims of Violence Act
The Senate approved the Unborn Victims of Violence Act 61 to 38, to make harm to a fetus a separate crime in violent federal offenses. The bill, backed by conservatives, defines an unborn child as a human being at any stage in the womb, and faces Bush’s signature after House passage last month. Critics warn the law could affect abortion rights and stem cell research.
