The petitioners note that everyone has the right to life. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2187902\" data-originallang=\"en\">Whereas 40 years ago, on May 14, 1969, 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=\"2187903\" data-originallang=\"en\">The petitioners call upon Parliament to pass legislation for the protection of human life from the time of conception until the time of natural death. </p>",
