Petition Change the Road Traffic Act so that the life of an unborn child is acknowledged
Ensure police can prosecute drivers who cause an accident involving an unborn child for a specific criminal offence that reflects this crime.
More details
Dangerous drivers who kill unborn children should be treated in the same way as anyone who takes a life and prosecuted for that specific crime. At present there is no specific offence that would act as a deterrent and give justice for grieving families.
