Canada: Act Fast to Protect Women's Reproductive Rights

Stephen Woodworth, a Conservative MP, wants to turn abortion law on its head by defining personhood after conception and creating laws criminalizing abortion.
If the motion passes, it would obviously open the door to all sorts of government interference in women's reproductive rights.
But we're in luck -- with Prime Minister Stephen Harper opposing the action, Woodworth is afraid he won't gather enough support to pass the motion by Wednesday's debates. Let's prove his theory correct. No means no when it comes to invasive reproductive legislation, and Canadians won't be quiet about it.
The faster we stop this, the clearer our message will be: Canadians will not let the government take away their reproductive rights. We have until September 21st to be heard. Sign the petition today and tell your MP to defeat this motion.
Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Members of Parliament,
Stephen Woodworth's motion to define personhood before birth threatens a woman's right to choose how to handle her own pregnancy. It's essential that you speak out on behalf of all Canadians who believe that the government has no place in placing invasive abortion laws on its citizens.
[Your comments here]I firmly believe in the current law stating that a child is human once it has emerged from the birth canal. I urge you to defeat Woodworth's motion on September 21st.
Sincerely,
[Your name here]
