Show opposition to Motion 312 on Wednesday, April 25, Parliament Hill, Ottawa. The Local will send a contingent to this demonstration. Contact 4207 Equity Officer Dave Welsh to arrange for the trip.
Excerpt from a petition (link below) about Motion 312: “If successful, the motion would convene a special Parliamentary committee made up mostly of Conservative MPs to review the definition of “human being” in Subsection 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada, which states that “A child becomes a human being … when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother.” The motion is an attempt to extend legal rights and personhood to fetuses, which is why Canadian women have nicknamed the bill “Women Can’t Be Trusted.” The motion is scheduled for one hour of debate in Parliament on April 26, with another hour of debate and a vote in late spring or early fall.’”
