Margaret Somerville, the director of the Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law at McGill University, reports on the escalating debate in Canada over Bill C-484, The Unborn Victims of Crime Act, which would make it a separate crime to injure or kill an unborn child in the course of committing a crime against a woman the accused knew to be pregnant. Common sense? Of course. Straightforward and just? Quite.
And yet, to no one's surprise, the pro-abortion cadre is vociferously opposing the bill. And they are not above using distortions, lies and looniness to try and get their way.
