Transgender bill may face vote this week


OTTAWA, February 25, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – “Pick up the phone right now and ask a Conservative MP to stand up for our women and girls by voting against  the Gender/Bathroom Bill C-279,” an organization to promote Christian principles in Canadian society is urgently asking concerned citizens.

Bill C-279, sponsored by MP Randall Garrison, the NDP's LGBTT Critic, would ad “gender identity” and “gender expression” in the hate crimes sections of the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code.

Canada Family Action (CFA) has discovered that the bill may be voted on as soon as Wednesday, February 27.
CFA is asking concerned citizens to contact the 15 Conservative MPs who were responsible for a swing in the vote that saw the bill through its second reading last June.
“By convincing these 15 Conservative MPs to change their minds and vote against this dangerous Bill, we will Stop the Gender/Bathroom Bill C-279,” stated Brian Rushfeldt, CFA’s president in a press release.

Numerous pro-family organizations oppose the controversial bill, dubbing it the “bathroom bill” since it could give biological men a legal alibi to use women’s bathrooms, shower rooms, and changing rooms. They worry that such a bill will lead to an increase in sexual assaults. Their worry is not unfounded.
