432-00179 Justice
PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED
Whereas:
A CBC documentary revealed that ultrasounds are being used in Canada to tell the sex of an unborn child so that expectant parents can choose to terminate the pregnancy if the unborn child is a girl;
An Environics poll found that 92% of Canadians believe sex-selective pregnancy termination "should be illegal";
The Society of Gynaecologists of Canada and the Canadian Association of Radiologists strongly oppose the non-medical use of fetal ultrasounds;
There are over 200 million girls missing worldwide. This gendercide has created a global gender imbalance crisis resulting in violence and the human trafficking of girls;
The Three Deadliest Words in the World are: It's a Girl.
Therefore, we the undersigned, call upon all Members of Parliament to condemn discrimination against girls occurring through sex-selective pregnancy termination.
