STRATFORD, ONTARIO, N5A 873 For the many who have contacted us THE ISSUE is HUMAN LIFE THE CONCERN is discrimination against helpless human beings be- cause of 'place of residence' i.e. in the womb. Life is a continuum which through its early stage (i.e. unborn to adolescence) is dependent upon others for protec- tion, nutrition, physical, mental and emotional devel- opment. THE EVIDENCE is what begins at conception as human life with vast potential (current medical knowledge) ends at abor- tion as a dismembered body after repeated attempts to avoid the instrument of death (documented ultra- sound of a 12 week suction abortion - The Silent Scream). THE REQUEST IS EQUAL RIGHTS TO LIFE COMMUNICATE to the Federal Parliament and ask for laws to protect the unborn given that human life begins at con- ception. URGE our legislators to be as humane as Emperor Hadrian of ancient Rome. As Hadrian abolished the law that gage Ro- man fathers the power of life and death over their children we request abolition of these similar powers for Canadian mothers and fathers over their unborn children.
