> A dangerous anti-abortion motion was debated in Parliament in April and is coming up for a second round of debate on Sept 21 and a vote on Sept 26. Motion 312 (see full wording on Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth's website) calls for a Parliamentary Committee to examine whether the Criminal Code definition of "human being" should be expanded to include fetuses. This threatens to give legal personhood to fetuses and allow the re-criminalization of abortion, as well as deny the constitutional rights of all pregnant women.
