I don't know, but I think we really need to continue doing this across the country. We need to continue gathering signatures and telling our politicians that we want protection for unborn children.
Here again are the links ARPA has on their website for the first two petitions below, here and here, for you to print and get more signatures.
We can't stop doing this.
We can't stop doing this.
Petitions Regarding Abortion
Presented in the House of Commons during the 1st session of the 41st Parliament
#1:
"Whereas Canada is the only nation in the Western world and in the company of China and North Korea without any laws restricting abortion;
And whereas Canada's Supreme Court has said it is Parliament's responsibility to enact abortion legislation;
Therefore, we call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to speedily enact legislation that restricts abortion to the greatest extent possible."
* Date the petition was presented in the House of Commons.
#2:
"Whereas Canada’s 400 year old definition of a human being says a child does not become a human being until the moment of complete birth, contrary to twenty-first century medical evidence;
And whereas Parliament has a solemn duty to reject any law that says some human beings are not human;
Therefore, we call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to confirm that every human being is recognized by Canadian law as human by amending Section 223 of our Criminal Code in such a way as to reflect twenty-first century medical evidence."

#3:
We, the undersigned Citizens of Canada, draw the attention of the House to the following:
That the Supreme Courte on January 28th 1988 stated that it is for Parliament to enact the appropriate defences of its legitimate interest in the lives of all subjects, including those yet in the womb.
That a destructive vacuity in the Criminal Code has resulted in the failure of the Supreme Court to strike down the phrase ‘after becoming a human being’ (223(2)) along with the then Section 251 of the Criminal Code;
That this phrase has long exposed to destructive harm a child in anyone’s womb at anytime in Canada;
Therefore, your petitioners request that Parliament consider restoring to the Criminal code the prudence it held prior to 1968, by removing the words ‘after becoming a human being’ from Section 223(2).
