Urge your Representative to VOTE NO on HB 2006!
Last week, House Bill 2006, the so-called "Unborn Victims of Violence Act," moved out of committee and to the House floor. This bill would alter the state criminal statute to redefine "human being" to include the unborn.
The entire House will vote on it Monday.
HB 2006 is troubling because it:
1. Attempts to undermine Roe v. Wade by redefining personhood to include the unborn—from the moment of fertilization.
2. Emphasizes the fetus over the woman and diverts the attention away from the real problem: violence against pregnant women.
This bill does nothing to provide justice to female victims of domestic violence or to protect the health and safety of pregnant women —the real intent is to attack the foundation of the Roe decision by elevating the status of a fetus to full personhood.
