On October 2nd, we had the privilege of standing with Jeff Durham, of the Molly Matters Campaign<\/a>, in support of Canada introducing a Pre-born Victims of Crime Law. Jeff Durham was the boyfriend of Cassandra Kaake, who was murdered while eagerly awaiting the birth of their child, a child for whom Canadian law holds no justice.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the words of Durham:<\/p>\n

“There exists no reasonable argument or possibility that the person responsible for the murder of Cassie did not know she was pregnant.\u00a0There exists no reasonable argument or possibility that the person responsible for this did not intend to kill both Cassie and the baby she carried.\u00a0In Canada, there exists no law against what this person did to our daughter.<\/p>\n

…The Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada claims to be a \u201cvoice for choice,\u201d but where are they now? Where are the ones that so ardently defend a woman\u2019s right to choose? Should they not be standing up and screaming for Cassie? For a woman whose choice was violently and intentionally ripped away from her?”<\/p>\n
