\n <\/span><\/p>\nDear, (Name of MP) <\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\nIt is deeply troubling to me that Canada is the only democratic nation without a law protecting children in the womb. In fact, China and North Korea are the only other countries in the same position as Canada! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\nIn 1988 the Supreme Court struck down the existing abortion legislation, but they didn\u2019t say that limits on abortion where unconstitutional. Rather, they ruled that the old law was unconstitutional because of the unequal access by women to hospitals that performed abortions. In fact, they correctly stated that the \u201cprecise point in the development of the fetus at which the state\u2019s interest in its protection becomes compelling\u201d, is best left in the, \u201cinformed judgement of the legislature…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\nEuropean countries, which are arguably more secular than Canada, all have laws against abortion. Most of them limit it to 12 weeks gestation and some, such as Poland and Ireland, only allow abortions when the life of the mother is in danger. There is no reason why Canada shouldn\u2019t have federal legislation in place that restricts abortion. The status quo of abortion on demand through all 9 months of pregnancy is morally unacceptable to most Canadians, and we need an abortion law to change this.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\nCanada is well below international standards with respect to abortion legislation. This is a deplorable reality that needs to be changed, and, as the Supreme Court advised, is best done in the legislature, of which you are a part. I realize that you are only one of many who form the government of Canada, but I want to encourage you to stand up to the ongoing violation of pre-born human rights. More and more Canadians support an abortion law and WeNeedaLAW.ca, a public awareness campaign that I recommend you take a look at, is doing all it can to build a groundswell of support for such legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\nI want to encourage you to embrace new opportunities to discuss, debate and decide on important matters. You are undoubtedly faced with many in your office as MP and I ask that you consider pre-born human rights as one of them. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\nLooking forward to your reply. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\nSincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canada is the only Western nation without restrictions on when a woman can request and receive an abortion.

Canada is the only Western nation without restrictions on when a woman can request and receive an abortion. In fact, to the best of our knowledge, we possess this onerous distinction with only two other countries in the world: North Korea and China. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
