Unborn Victims Of 9-11


Support the Unborn Victims of 9-11!

Dear Attorney General Ashcroft:

First, I want to congratulate you on the way you have responded to the 9-11 terrorist attack upon our nation. You have obviously assembled a highly skilled and dedicated team in the Justice Department. We are praying for you and those in DOJ who are working so hard on our behalf during this time of national tragedy.

I am aware that 18 Congressmen have recently written a letter to you asking that you include
unborn babies who died in the 9-11 attack as "victims" whose surviving family members are
eligible for help under the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001" that is part of
Public Law 107-42.

You're already familiar with the story of &nbsp who died with her unborn child on United Flight 93. &nbsp's husband &nbsp suffered not just the loss of his wife, but of their first child during that terrible crash. Their unborn baby should be considered just as much a victim of 9-11 as &nbsp and those who died in the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks.

As you prepare regulations on implementing the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of
2001," please make sure that you add "unborn children" to the list of victims whose survivors are eligible for assistance.

Thank you again for taking such an aggressive leadership role during this time of war and
national instability. Our prayers are with you!
