Motion 312 to study if a child in the womb is a human, scheduled for vote September 26, 2012

Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth’s office has announced that Motion 312 has been scheduled in Parliament for its second hour of debate on Friday, September 21, 2012. Members of Parliament will debate Woodworth's Motion which seeks to establish a committee to study modern medical science in relation to a 400-year old law in Canada's Criminal Code which erroneously asserts that the child in the womb does not become a human being until the moment of complete birth.

A vote on the Motion will take place Wednesday September 26th.  You can watch the vote live around 6 pm at www.cpac.ca.
