OTTAWA, April 8, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Stephen Woodworth, Member of Parliament for Kitchener Centre, today announced that he would be seeking unanimous consent in the House of Commons for Motion 476 on Thursday, April 10 at approximately 10:00 AM during routine proceedings in the House of Commons. Motion 476 calls on all Members of Parliament to affirm that every Canadian law must be interpreted in a manner which recognizes the equal worth and dignity of everyone who is in fact a human being.
Under Parliamentary rules Woodworth cannot, without unanimous consent, bring the motion to a vote, so he will seek the unanimous consent of Members of Parliament. During Woodworth’s member’s statement on Monday, March 31, 2014 he noted, “If even one Member of this House refuses to consent to this essential principle of democratic governance it will be a dark and dangerous day for Canada.”
Woodworth said: “Laws like subsection 223(1), which falsely condemn as non-human those we know to be human, are savage and inhumane, a throwback to a more barbarous age.”

He said any Member opposing Motion 476 is denying the equal worth and dignity of every member of the human family affirmed in the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Woodworth says Motion 476 underlines the reason why it is important for Canadians to refuse to accept any law that condemns as non-human anyone we know to be human.
