Mr. Harper, stop playing politics with women's lives

Every eight minutes, a woman in a developing country dies from complications caused by an unsafe abortion, often leaving behind motherless children.

In Canada, women have the right to a safe abortion. Now Stephen Harper joins ex-U.S. President George Bush in putting his ideology ahead of women’s lives. At the G8 meeting in Halifax, the Harper government said that international aid should only be given if access to safe abortions is excluded.

Tell PM Harper to stop playing politics with women’s lives. Women have the right to choose for themselves without being sentenced to death.

Subject:	Stop playing politics with women's lives
Message:	Prime Minister Harper: I call on you to stop imposing your personal ideological views on women in developing countries. Women overseas, like women in Canada, have the right to make their own decisions about what is best for them and their families. They should not be forced to risk their lives because they choose to end a pregnancy. I urge you to withdraw your government’s requirement that aid will only be given to programs that exclude access to abortion. I urgently await your reply. +++++ M. le premier ministre Harper Je vous demande de cesser d’imposer vos opinions idéologiques personnelles aux femmes des pays en développement. Les femmes des autres pays, comme les Canadiennes, ont le droit de prendre leurs propres décisions relativement à ce qui vaut mieux pour elles-mêmes et pour leurs familles. Elles ne devraient pas être forcées de risquer leur vie quand elles choisissent de mettre fin à une grossesse. Je vous demande avec insistance de retirer l’exigence de votre gouvernement à l’effet de n’offrir de l’aide qu’aux programme qui excluent l’accès à l’avortement. J’attends votre réponse avec impatience.
