WASHINGTON (January 5, 2004) - - NRLC and other pro-life forces are pushing for action in the U.S. Senate early in 2004 on the Unborn Victims of Violence Act (S. 1019).

So far, 40 of the 100 senators have cosponsored the bill - - but the outcome remains in doubt, as senators allied with pro-abortion advocacy groups continue to obstruct the bill.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tn.) has said that he will push for full Senate action on the bill early in the year.

(The House of Representatives passed the bill in 1999 and 2001, and will readily do so again - - the real battle is in the Senate.)

All NRLC affiliates and other pro-life groups and citizens should promptly call their senators' offices and urge immediate approval of the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, or "Laci and Conner's Law" (S. 1019). All senators' offices can be reached through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Appropriate e-mail messages on the bill can be sent for free through the Legislative Action Center at the National Right to Life website at www.nrlc.org.

The prime sponsor of the bill in the Senate is Senator Mike DeWine (R-Ohio). There are currently 39 co-sponsors. You can view the complete list of cosponsors of the bill at the NRLC website by going to Legislative Action Center, then to "Current Legislation," then to "S. 1019."

You can also send regular mail to any U.S. Senator at:
