Canada Family Continues Push for Unborn Victims Law After Mom's Death
Ottawa, Canada (LifeNews.com) -- A family in Canada is continuing to push for an unborn victims law there that provides both protection and justice for pregnant women and their unborn children. The family of a 25-year-old woman who was seven months pregnant when she and her unborn child were murdered wants to see others protected. Aysun Sesen died on October 2 after she was stabbed in the stomach and her baby was delivered stillborn. Now, Aydin Cocelli, her brother-in-law, is asking for a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to press his case for "babies who died before they even opened their eyes." "The law is wrong," he told CanWest News Service. "My sister-in-law got killed, but her baby got killed too, and that should count." However, unlike in the United States, Canada law does not recognize the unborn child as a second victim in criminal attacks. A baby is not considered a human being worthy of legal protection until after birth. CanWest said a spokesman for Harper indicated a meeting will not likely be arranged but Cocelli says he has a meeting set up next month with his Liberal MP Alan Tonks.
