Canada has had no laws regarding the issue of abortion since 1988 when the Supreme Court struck down the law which had been in place. It means abortion is allowed on demand at any stage of fetal development, by any method and for any and all reasons.
The only other nations in the world which have absolutely no laws on abortion are North Korea, China and Vietnam (http://www.prowomanprolife.org/2014/02/25/canada-is-one-of-four-countries-without-abortion-restrictions/).
Brad Trost, a Conservative MP from Saskatchewan, has sponsored a petition to the House of Commons which calls for: “respectful debate with the intent to form an all-party committee that will draft a bill governing the conduct of abortion in Canada”, and “that consideration of this bill will be by a free vote in the House”. The goal would be to pass a law that will balance the rights of a pregnant woman to choose with the rights of the unborn, as well as other stake holders such as the father and the parents of pregnant, pre-adult females. Laws would also provide limits on the use of abortion to prevent or reduce the number of births of certain racial groups, to limit the practice of gender selection and to protect the physically/developmentally challenged.
Do you believe that all life is ordained, created and sustained by God from conception to natural death so that our attitude must be for life not against? If so, we ask you to sign the petition at:
