The need for abortion law

Dear Editor,

Many people in Canada are not aware that there is no law regarding abortion at all. That means that any child can legally be aborted in Canada from the day of conception to the moments before it is born. The Supreme Court of Canada, as well as a very large percentage of Canadians believe there needs to be a law that gives legal recognition to the unborn. To that end I have enclosed, with permission, a short article written by Mr. Mike Schouten of British Columbia, who is currently heading a campaign to encourage our federal politicians to develop such a law.

New pro-life campaign launches by Mike Schouten

In Canada, pre-born children have no recognition under the law but a new effort is underway to change that. On May 1 WeNeedaLaw.ca was launched to build support for federal abortion legislation. Canadians who come to the site will be presented with various tools enabling them to get involved. With the website's Simple Mail technology, you will be able to tell your MP in a matter of seconds why you believe Canada needs a law. Momentum is building, and many Canadians, including mainstream journalists are openly asking why we don't have an abortion law. Current developments such as Member of Parliament Stephen Woodworth's Motion 312 (the definition of a human being), and the revelation that sex-selective abortions do happen in Canada, have made it clear that there is a shift in Canadian's attitude toward the status quo. Pro-choice rhetoric we've become accustomed to is simply breaking down in the face of the facts. It's time to act! Canada needs a law and Canadians want one! Check out the website WeNeedaLaw.ca and add your name to the list and utilize the tools to get the message out.

It is my hope that many will take the time to have a look at the website mentioned above and will use it to make their thoughts known to our politicians regarding this issue.

Sincerely, H.A. Stel
