Today, another abortion extremist condemns C-484 in the Letters to the Editor section of the Peterborough Examiner:
However it is an even more insidious attack on our constitution and charter because it attempts to do though the back door what could not be done in the open - that is redefine what "a human being" is without any debate or constitutional amendment.
Prove it. They don't. There's no proof. Hardcore feminist opponents of Bill C-484 make legal assertions without any back-up.
If this approach can be used in Canada it can lead, as it has done in the United States, to the 20-year sentence of a woman because she was held accountable for the stillbirth of her fetus (Google Regina McKnight). Such atrocities are only possible when a fetus is designated to be a "human being" (a term which has a very specific meaning in our legal system) and this can only be possible if a pregnant woman is actually two human beings.
Prove that C-484 makes the fetus into a human being.
It doesn't.

The Supreme Court of Canada has stated on numerous occasions that the state has an interest in protecting the fetus. It is not even a matter of defining the fetus as a human being.
Those who voted in support of Bill C-484 are voting to strip women of the equal status they are guaranteed under our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and our Constitution
Hysteria. Prove it. It's just emotionalism.
I would argue the opposite: if you do not support the notion being deprived of my fetus is a crime, then you oppose women's rights.
and they are doing so without having the honesty to propose and debate the constitutional amendment that is necessary to make such a major change in our society and without the provincial agreements required for such a charter change.
Ridiculous. The Supreme Court said Parliament could legislate on this. I wish people would actually do some research on fetal rights issues before making such ill-informed comments.
Is Canada ready for the form of theocratic fascism that has subverted freedom in the U.S.?
That's demagogy: fearmongering, and hyperbole to persuade people to not support the Bill.
There isn't a single fact in that whole letter.
