Support Bill C-484 (The Unborn Victims of Crime Act)

Sponsor

Ken Epp is the Member of Parliament for Edmonton Sherwood-Park.

In November 2005, a 19 year old woman in an Edmonton area riding was shot three times in the abdomen and twice in the head by a childhood friend. Olivia Talbot was 27 weeks pregnant at the time, and later her murderer told the court he was out “to get the baby.”

Since 2004 there have been at least 15 notable cases of pregnant women being brutally attacked resulting in the death of their unborn child; in only 2 of these cases did the woman survive. At least 5 pregnant women have been murdered in the past year.

In response, Mr. Epp has tabled a Private Member’s Bill, Bill C-484, which would provide for a separate offence in the death or injury of an unborn child that results from an attack on a pregnant woman.
