Mother Tells Congress: "Is This One Victim or Two?"

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- On Tuesday afternoon, the House Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee held a hearing on the Unborn Victims of Violence Act (H.R. 1997). Tracy Marciniak, a Wisconsin woman who lost her unborn son Zachariah when her husband assaulted her, told the members to look at a photograph of her and her dead son. "I ask you to look at this photo to look at this photograph and ask yourselves: Does it show one victim, or two," Marciniak asked.

"If you look at this photo and see two victims, a dead baby and a grieving mother who survived a brutal assault, then you should support the Unborn Victims of Violence Act."
