Petitioning Attorney General An open letter to the Attorney General . Sophie's Law
Attorny General please bring in Sophie's Law to protect all unborn babies post 30 weeks gestation.
I
was 39 weeks pregnant when a drunk driver on drugs crashed into my car -
as a result of this accident my baby died. I gave birth to her still
body.
But despite this reckless drunk causing the accident in which my baby
died, he only received a pathetic $950 fine and a 5 month driving
suspension. The decision was made last month.
It’s been hell. Instead of bringing my baby girl home I had to plan her
funeral - I was that close to the end of my pregnancy. And now the man
responsible gets away with it because she was stillborn and has no
rights in a court of law.
I want that law changed. I want all babies past 30 weeks gestation to
have the right to be classed as a human being. I want pregnant women
protected against acts of violence and against their babies dying
because of an avoidable cause. Sophie should be alive but because of a
careless act caused by a driver that does not care, he holds no
responsibility for his action and walks free.
All babies born past 20 weeks gestation need to have a birth
certificate, a death certificate and also a funeral. So why is it that
only in a court of law, does a baby have no rights to be counted?
This petition is to give a voice to a little baby who will never take
her first steps. Please, please support me by signing and sharing it to
introduce Sophie’s Law.
Thank you,
Sarah.
NB: Please note I do not want to affect a woman's right to abortion or
have a pregnancy terminated for any medical reasons.
