Initiated by Katie Dean from London, Ontario
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
- Groups have been distributing leaflets containing extremely graphic images of allegedly aborted fetuses in cities across Canada, ignoring no flyer signage posted by homeowners;
- Groups have been gathering in protest against abortion by displaying extremely graphic images of allegedly aborted fetuses on busy street corners in cities across Canada;
- The sight of such imagery is being exposed to nonconsenting individuals and children; and
- Imagery has been triggering for persons who have suffered trauma and loss involving pregnancy, infancy, childbirth, etc., including but not limited to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, abortion, domestic violence, and fleeing a country involved in war.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to:
1. Amend the Criminal Code s.175 "Indecent Exhibition" to include indecent graphic displays;
2. Amend legislation setting out the limitations regarding what imagery and content can be used in a protest or demonstration that is subject to public viewing; and
3. Amend legislation regarding if, and how graphic imagery can be delivered to homes across the Country (i.e., putting such pamphlets in envelopes with a viewer discretion warning).
