One body, one person, one count.


Birth Pangs has called for a blog burst on Monday, February 25th, against Conservative MP Ken Epp’s private member's bill called "The Unborn Victims of Violence Act". While this bill may be dressed up in warm, fuzzy “protect pregnant women” terms, this is nothing but an attempted end run around a woman’s right to abortion in Canada today by granting “personhood” to a fetus. And this girl is not gonna stand for it.

This bill needs to be stopped here and now. If you have a blog, help get the word out on February 25th. If not, you can sign a petition here. It's time to make some noise.

Post title shamelessly stolen from Dave's excellent post here.

I’m stealing from everyone today. As per Prole’s comment, the title was originally conceived at BreadnRoses.

Hey LuLu, the title was actually conceived at BreadnRoses. Thanks so much for posting about this!

It's not stealing - it's spreading. :)

On behalf of conjoined twins and multiple personality disorder sufferers everywhere, I'm gonna sue.

LuLu said...

The theft is entirely complimentary. It just means there's no room for improvement in the title ...

LuLu - of course! I totally caught your drift from the get go. Like I said, it's not stealing...it's spreading. BnR did a great job of framing this issue.
