If the old adage that imitation is the highest form of flattery is true, consider Republicans flattered. Yesterday, Democrats and Republicans passed a measure that would allow prosecutors to file charges over the death of unborn children when the death occurs during a crime against a pregnant woman.
Republicans have tried to pass similar bills over the past few years, but have come up short on Democratic votes. The bill, HB1154, passed out of the House Judiciary Committee and will head next to the Appropriations Committee.
The bill was necessary because of several crimes against pregnant women during which their unborn children were killed, but the perpetrators could not be charged with the death.
This is just another example of Democrats killing good GOP bills and bringing them back themselves to pass them. For the sake of the children, we’re looking forward to the Gill-Stryker version of Jessica’s Law to be introduced by a Democrat in the next session.
It is not a good idea if a rep buings it up but if a dem does it is great idea PS why is a killing of a unborn child is bad during a crime and OK if a abortion clinic does it.
Wait, I thought they weren't people until they could survive on their own outside the womb. I am sure I read that somewhere. /sarc
You're absolutely right Mike. Jessica's Law does need to be passed here in Colorado. But the problem is that with this state in the hands of the Democrats it won't be forthcoming. Vote the Democrats (Governor & 2 Senators along with both State House & State Senate) out of office. Scott Tipton is a great congressman and maybe will run for Bennet's or Udall's Seat when they come up for re-election.
It is bs but , Jesicas law needs to be passed no matter how.
