Statement on Unborn Victims of Violence Act
Statement by the President
I applaud the House for passing the Unborn Victims of Violence Act
today by a strong bipartisan vote. We must continue to build a culture
of life in our country, a compassionate society in which every child is
born into a loving family and protected by law.
Pregnant women who have been harmed by violence, and their
families, know that there are two victims -- the mother and the unborn
child -- and both victims should be protected by federal law.
I urge the Senate to pass this bill so that I can sign it into
law.
