Personhood For The Unborn — The Human Rights Issue Of Our Time

Canadian personhood website launched:
March 19, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Alliance for Life Ontario has launched a new Canadian Pre-born Personhood initiative with the creation of a Personhood website. The site provides information about abortion in Canada and encourages visitors to sign a petition asking the Canadian government to extend full legal protection to every Canadian, from their biological beginnings to their natural death.

Organizers of the initiative state that the signed petitions will be presented in Parliament on Person's Day - October 18, 2010.

"Much of the debate about abortion centres on whether the child before birth is a human person," the website states. "Today, science and technological advances, such as ultra-sound and intrauterine photography prove the humanity of the child in the womb."
...
Echoing the 1929 Privy Council decision to include women in the definition of "person," Jeffs reiterated, "Denying personhood to the preborn child places us in a made-in-Canada time warp of barbarism and injustice. The number of Canadians killed by induced abortion since 1969 is over 3 million. To those who ask why personhood should be granted to the preborn, we ask, why not?"
Please take your time to sign the sign the online petition to extend full legal protection to every human being from their biological beginnings to natural death. And don't forget to join the Personhood.ca facebook group.
