Bill C-484 passes second reading

Bill C-484, the Unborn Victims of Crime bill, passes 147 to 133 in the House this evening.

(This is the bill that would make the murder of a pregnant woman count as two murders. If you want to read more about it, we’ve commented on it here, here, here and here. It now goes on to committee for discussion and debate. After that, it will return to the House for a final vote, and only then will finally go on to the Senate. That’s how I understand parliamentary procedure, anyway…)
