Education campaign the Minister for Status of Women Canada Rona Ambrose

From Fédération du Québec pour le planning des naissances (FQPN)

On September 26, at the moment of the Motion 312 vote, we were astonished to notice
that the Minister responsible for the status of women, the Honorable Rona Ambrose, took
position to strike a committee that would have reviewed the fetus legal status in the light
of scientific advances. Without any doubt, this committee would have reopened the
abortion debate (despite the Conservative Party’s promise not to reopen it).

We believe that this stand requires Ms Ambrose to refresh her knowledge on the freedom
of choice issue, and on the importance of universal and free access to abortion for all
women – which is actually advocated by 75% of the Canadian population.

For the next 9 weeks, we invite you to send to the Minister an argument in favour of free
choice. You could formulate your own message, or use our new argument which we will
post every Monday on our website (www.fqpn.qc.ca). Send it by email, letter, Twitter,
Facebook, telephone, or other means. It has been proven that repetition is beneficial for
new learners.

It's a question of solidarity. One should furthermore know that aside from being
mandated to represent and defend the rights of women living in Canada, Rona Ambrose
has a number of other responsibilities, such as Public Works and Governmental Services.
We understand that it is quite difficult to reconcile family and work, and to remain up-todate with her other tasks. Let's support our Minister! Let's educate her! With a bit of
urging, Rona Ambrose will get a passing grade before the holidays. At least we hope so. If
not, we will have to regroup for the winter session.

To send along a pro-choice argument to the Minister for status of Women Canada,
download or copy-paste our weekly model, then you can:

 send her an email: Ambror@parl.gc.ca
