Unborn Victims of Violence

Promoting Individual Freedom and Personal Safety > Protecting Citizens From Crime > Unborn Victims of Violence
We believe a person who injures or kills an unborn child should be subject to criminal and civil litigation, whether the child dies in the womb or is born alive.
(plank deleted)

This has been law in Texas since the 78's Legislature's (2003) SB 319. It has withstood a court challenge.

Random plank

Strengthening Families, Protecting Life and Promoting Health > Protecting Our Children > Child Support and Visitation
We support equity between responsible parents in child support, custody, and visitation rights and costs, as well as the strengthening of laws designed to protect children from abuse. No parent/grandparentone should be denied court ordered visitation, because because of jurisdictional disputes between states. We also believe that no homosexual or any individual convicted of child abuse or molestation should have the right to custody or adoption of a minor child, and that visitation with minor children by such persons should, if allowed, should be prohibited but if ordered by the court limited to supervised periods.
Reason:

Child abuse is a separate topic.

It is unconscionable to lump homosexuals with child molesters and abusers.

anti-homosexual crusade, wordy
