CURRENT/ACTIVE PETITIONS – 2023:
Again, we are calling upon the House of Commons to legislate the abuse of a pregnant woman and/or harm to her child/children as aggravating circumstances for sentencing purposes in the Criminal Code.
Canadian law offers no additional protection when a woman’s reproductive choice is to have a child. This is our effort to see that changed.

HISTORY OF PAST PETITIONS BELOW
Official Government Online Petition e-2154 has ended.
It was closed on September 11, 2019, upon dissolution of Parliament for the general election, and therefore it, “will not receive a government response.”
This petition was started by the Goberdhan family of Ajax, Ontario in response to the failure of Canadian law to recognize crimes committed against their family members Arianna and Asaara.
Official Government Online petition e-183 has ended. The response from the current Liberal majority government was that violent crimes against pregnant women are already taken seriously enough.
Please sign and mail paper petition below – paper petition is still active.
Unofficial Change.org petition has closed. Please sign and mail paper petition below – paper petition is still active.
(2016 petition – please see current iteration above.)

While we are still collecting paper petitions, the current Liberal majority government has indicated they do not view the non-consensual termination of a woman’s pregnancy (at any stage) as a crime that should be an aggravating circumstance codified by law.
Our hope at this point is for a political party to be elected that sees fit to protect pregnant women and the choice to carry a child to safely to term.
Only then can the violent offenders responsible for such crimes be held accountable for the full reality of their actions.
Petitions can still be mailed postage-free to:
