The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-212) is a United States law that recognizes an embryo or fetus in utero as a legal victim, if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence. The law defines "child in utero" as "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb."

If they are only clumps of cells how can they be a victim of violence as a member of the species Homo sapiens ?

This is how duplicitous this movement has been. This was a backdoor to further disable abortion rights. An appropriate punishment for Bob ladies, is for Bob to carry every single rape baby to term for all eternity and even that's not punishment enough as far as I'm concerned. F*ck your god, Bob for it is surely the devil.

****Although physicians who perform consensual abortions are not subject to prosecution under the UVVA, organizations that support a woman's right to choose opposed the act.7 These organizations asserted that the UVVA was part of a campaign to undermine the right to abortion. They argued that recognition of a fetus or embryo as an entity separate from the pregnant woman could obscure the U.S. Supreme Court's finding in Roe v. Wade that the word "person" does not include the unborn.8 If personhood could be established for a fetus or embryo, such entities' right to life under the Fourteenth Amendment would seem to be guaranteed.****

This is why nobody takes you seriously, you can't be coherent long enough to carry a conversation. I am a lifelong atheist, well since I was about 12.

The court has vacated RvW but this is federal law, the right used the proper mechanism to write, promote and pass this law, something the left could learn from.

Wishing hatred, violence and pain on me because you don't agree with my opinion is the hallmark of the woke, you are a waste of skin. Goodbye.

So you admit forcing a woman to carry a rape baby to term is forcing violence on her and therefore the law of the land per the coupling of the Supreme Court ruling and the legislation you provided reference too is intended as violence to women. Thanks for that validation.

The "right" learned that from Nazi Germany that was, afterall, a nation of laws. What the Nazis did was all perfectly legal. So much for a nation of laws.
