g>Washington, DC (LifeNews.com)</strong> Members of the U.S. Senate
have agreed to have a debate and vote on the Unborn Victims of Violence
Act as early as the week of March 22. The Senate has never before voted
on this legislation, that would allow prosecutors to hold
criminals accountable when they kill or injure an unborn child as a
result of an attack on a pregnant woman. One of the biggest hurdles the
bill has faced has been the threat of a filibuster by certain
Democratic
senators, which would force supporters to find 60 votes to pass
the legislation. Without the filibuster concern, a simply majority can
pass the bill, turn back a substitute bill and send the
legislation to President Bush, who has been pressuring Congress for
years to send this bill to him. Actions: Please contact your
members of the U.S. Senate and urge strong support for the Unborn
Victims of Violence Act and opposition to any amendments. You can reach
any senator at (202) 224-3121. You can also use the box below in the
extended entry to find/write your Senator.</p>
