Friends,
On Wednesday, June 2nd, our Members of Parliament, are expected to vote on whether or not to pass C-233 to committee -- or to defeat it before it gets to the next phase.
If passed to law this bill will make gendercide illegal in Canada.
Gendercide is the ending of the life of an unborn child because of its gender. This most often happens in the case of little girls.
This bill will not criminalize pregnant women.
If passed, the bill would amend the Criminal Code to prohibit a medical practitioner from performing a sex selective abortion.
Surveys show that 84% of Canadians are opposed to gendercide. In spite of this, many MPs are currently planning on voting against the bill.
You have today, tomorrow and Wednesday morning to contact MPs before they vote on Wednesday afternoon.
Please act now and share this important announcement.
