\n <\/span><\/p>\nDear, (Name of MP)
<\/span><\/p>\nI think it is common knowledge that a child in the womb is a human being, and I find it incredulous that this fact isn\u2019t recognized in the laws of Canada. I\u2019d venture to say that most Canadians wouldn\u2019t expect something other than a human to be reproduced by a human. It concerns me that our Criminal Code is based on 400 year old medical information, and so I fully endorse MP Stephen Woodworth\u2019s motion that asks for Parliament to study our current definition of a human being.<\/span><\/p>\nIt has been almost 25 years since the Supreme Court asked parliament to enact a law protecting children before birth, and it\u2019s about time that we at least study the 21st century evidence. Mr. Woodworth\u2019s motion is a step in the right direction, as it places the discussion about pre-born children in the proper setting, the House of Commons.<\/span><\/p>\nCanadians need to know that every law is a just law and every human being needs to be recognized as a human by Canadian law. I encourage you to vote in favour of Motion 312 so that Parliament can make the proper determination by amending Section 223 of our Criminal Code in such a way as to reflect twenty-first century medical evidence.

In December 2011, Stephen Woodworth, Member of Parliament for Kitchener Centre, went public with his intentions of introducing a motion that would require a study into the definition of a human being. In February of this year he introduced Motion 312 and the first hour of debate in the House of Commons was completed on April 26th.<\/span><\/p>\n
