NRO has a transcript of a press conference held today by Sharon Rocha, the mother of Laci Peterson, a pregnant woman who was murdered over a year ago. Rocha is advocating a bill that would treat a crime on a fetus like a crime on any other person, dubbed "Laci and Connor's Law." Earlier today, the House passed "Laci and Connor's Law," and now it moves to the Senate. Excerpt from the statement made by Sharon Rocha:
In the summer of 2003, I wrote Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle a letter urging him to support the bill. Shortly after that, Senator Daschle said publicly that the Senate should consider this issue quickly. Since then, members of his party have been holding up a vote. I ask Senator Daschle, as their leader, to urge them to enact Laci and Conner’s Law as soon as possible.
Will Daschle use his vaunted clout to get the Senate to consider this issue quickly, and stop the members of his party from holding up a vote?
