The documentary “It’s a Girl”<\/a> has been shown in many locations throughout Canada over the past number of months. This film depicts the horrible reality of female feticide in India and China and how a cultural preference for boys has resulted in over 200 million missing girls throughout the world.<\/p>\n Last year a CBC investigation revealed that ultrasound clinics were disclosing the gender of pre-born children for the purpose of aborting if the pre-born child was not of the preferred gender.<\/p>\n Since introducing Motion 408 – a motion to condemn sex-selective pregnancy termination – last fall, Member of Parliament Mark Warawa<\/strong> has been advocating for its unanimous passage through the House of Commons. In the past few weeks Mr. Warawa has been attending presentations of “It’s a Girl” <\/a>and making the point that up to this point the Prime Minister has not indicated support.<\/p>\n His suggestion, which we wholeheartedly agree with, is to contact the Prime Minister using all the tools available. In today’s world these tools consist of Telephone, Email, and Twitter.<\/strong> We need everyone to take part and make sure Prime Minister Harper hears us loud and clear – unfair discrimination against females should not be tolerated in Canada and we expect our government to take a leadership role in preventing gendercide!<\/p>\n For talking points<\/strong> on Motion 408 please click here<\/a><\/p>\n PHONE<\/span> Mr. Harper – Call 613-992-4211<\/strong>.
