Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • The right to sexual and reproductive healthcare for women is currently under discussion in the Canadian Parliament;
  • Many Canadians, particularly women, fear that their rights to personal autonomy, security, and bodily integrity are at risk;
  • For decades, Canadians have advocated to secure women’s rights and eliminate discrimination against women’s freedom to make decisions about their own bodies;
  • The Canadian government has affirmed that everyone has the right to make choices about their own bodies and that no one should be compelled to carry an unwanted or unsafe pregnancy; and
  • The Supreme Court of Canada has found that the Criminal Code’s restrictions on abortion were unconstitutional, as they violated the right to personal security guaranteed by the Charter.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Safeguard women’s rights to reproductive healthcare, ensuring these rights remain secure and cannot be limited or overturned by any political party, office, or organization in Canada;
2. Protect Canadian women’s rights to abortion from being diminished or overridden by federal legislation invoking the “Notwithstanding Clause”; and
3. Commit to actively promoting gender equality and reproductive rights as fundamental human rights in Canada, ensuring accessible, safe, and comprehensive reproductive healthcare services for all women, free from discrimination or interference.
