They also point out that it has been 40 years, since May 14, 1969 when Parliament changed the law to permit abortion, and since January 28, 1988, Canada has had no law to protect the lives of unborn children.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1640437\" data-originallang=\"en\">These petitioners, therefore, call upon Parliament to pass legislation for the protection of human life from the time of conception until natural death.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1640435\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 l'article 36 du R\u00e8glement, j'ai le plaisir de pr\u00e9senter cette p\u00e9tition sur la protection de la vie humaine, d\u00fbment certifi\u00e9e par le greffier des p\u00e9titions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1640436\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les p\u00e9titionnaires, qui sont de ma circonscription, Mississauga-Sud, soulignent que le Canada est un pays qui respecte les droits de la personne et que la Charte canadienne des droits et libert\u00e9s pr\u00e9cise que tout le monde a droit \u00e0 la vie. Ils font \u00e9galement remarquer qu'il y a 40 ans, le 14 mai 1969, le Parlement a modifi\u00e9 la loi pour autoriser l'avortement et que, depuis le 28 janvier 1988, le Canada n'a plus de loi pour prot\u00e9ger la vie des enfants \u00e0 na\u00eetre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1640437\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent donc au Parlement d'adopter une mesure l\u00e9gislative qui garantirait la protection de la vie humaine, de la conception jusqu'\u00e0 la mort de causes naturelles.</p>"
