Saturday, October 31, 2009, three families spoke at the NC Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Library, organized by Jeff Gerber Union County, North Carolina for victims of violence act to be born. Bill unborn victims, according to these families, would bring them justice by recognizing the right of the second victim of these horrible murders: the unborn child. The bill would also allow the State to prosecute for two murders.
Among those advocating the passage of the Unborn Victims of Violence Act were Michele Dye, Kevin Blaine, and Effie Steele. Dye, whose daughter and her unborn child were brutally murdered in Gaston County last year, called the House Judiciary Chairman Deborah Ross and President Joe Hackney to allow unborn victims of a hearing within the regular judicial committee, followed by a debate and a recorded vote on the floor of the House.

More importantly, it might be a participating member of society, if had the chance to enter this world and make its mark in history. I felt betrayed and robbed when the murderer of Ebony and Elijah has not been charged with murder and has two not made to pay for the life of my little son. He was accused and sentenced to two life sentences without possibility of parole instead of the one he received, "Steele said.
