The father of the unborn baby involved in Molly Matters is speaking out.
The private member's bill called "Cassie and Molly's law" was defeated in the House of Commons last week.
It's from the murder of a seven-month pregnant local woman, Cassandra Kaake, back in 2014.
Jeff Durham was looking for an additional criminal charge in the case where a pregnant woman was the victim of a violent death.
The vote was 209 to 76.
Durham says he feels abandoned by local MPs.
Essex MP Tracey Ramsey, Windsor-Tecumseh MP Cheryl Hardcastle and Windsor West MP Brian Masse all voted against it.
"It was pretty reminiscent of finding out about the actual crime," he says. "To watch people completely abandon any sense of decency, moral obligation or reality, and any willingness to talk about the problem that we've tried to approach them with in every possible way."
Masse says he voted against it because it raised too many questions.
"The honour and the intent is there," Masse says. "But the reality is even part of this bill could actually lessen the sentence of individuals, because two concurrent court cases could actually reduce the amount of time somebody serves under our judicial system. So there's a lot of issues involved."
Masse says there were also issues involving abortion laws.
Durham says he's responded to the "frustrating" abortion issue many times, saying "the bill is to charge someone for harming an unborn child in an act of violence against the mother."
He says no one should go through what he and the Kaake family have experienced.
"How can this be done while problems exist?" Durham says. "To just ignore the problem doesn't make it go away. We don't entirely know where to go from here, but the problem still exists and we're going to do what we can."
Masse says members from all parties voted against it.
He says if the bill is reworked and could answer some significant questions he may consider it.
