Mr. Speaker, Canadians want Parliament to know about the tragic story of Cassandra Kaake, who was 31 weeks pregnant when she was murdered in Windsor, Ontario, a year ago today. Tragically there will be no justice for Cassandra's pre-born baby girl, Molly, who was also killed in that violent attack. That is because, in criminal law, pre-born children are not recognized as separate victims in attacks against their mother.
This petition calls on Parliament to pass legislation to allow a separate charge to be laid in the death or injury of a pre-born child when that child's mother is a victim of a crime.
Canadians want justice for victims like Molly.
