1. Before I wrote a nasty letter to Fact Check, I got this.

It explains a little bit about the Laci Peterson Law.

Apparently pro-life groups lobbied for this law.

snip

What Kerry and 34 other Democrats actually voted against was the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act ." The new law recognizes an "unborn child" as a second victim if injured or killed during certain federal crimes of violence against the mother. The bill was backed by anti-abortion groups while opponents called it an attempt to undermine abortion rights. Kerry voted for an alternative measure to accomplish the same end but without making specific reference to an "unborn child."
end

Edited to add: Ed Gillespie said that fact check was a bush friendly sight, that is why I sent the email asking them to remove me from their email list.
