Welcome. Bienvenue. Willkommen. Benvenuto.
It’s a world where any and all forms of birth control are illicit for everyone, regardless of their religious beliefs.
It’s a world where only women are held accountable for their sexual behaviour, and punished for their transgressions to the conservative social order.
It’s a world where women’s potential to give life is viewed not as a personal decision, but as a social and legal obligation.
It’s a world where post-pubescent and pre-menopausal women must provide urine samples to health authorities, as required.
It’s a world where pregnant women are forced to follow restrictions established by government officials, for the protection of fertilized ova.
It’s a world where the “endangerment” of embryos and fetuses has become a crime, but the wide-spread sexual abuse of women and children is an embarrassment.
Do these speculative notions about a post-Bill C-484 future seem extreme, perhaps frightening? It’s a view of a dystopian world, governed by zygote zealots.

They claim the privilege of defending the interests of zygotes, embryos and fetuses – until they’re born.
Welcome to their world.
