Establish the right to life of all human beings from conception onwards.
Currently more than 500 unborn human beings are killed each day in this country through abortion - this is a great injustice. Scientifically we know that human life begins at conception and we should extend the right to life enshrined in the UDHR to the unborn. We are obliged to protect them.
The scientific evidence: 'This fertilized ovum, known as a zygote, is a large diploid cell that is the beginning, or primordium, of a human being.' - Moore, Keith L. Essentials of Human Embryology. Toronto: B.C. Decker Inc, 1988, p.2]
The Biblical evidence: Exodus 21:22-25 makes plain that the life of a child in the womb is equivalent in value to the life of a fully grown man.
Support from the Qur'an: 'Kill not your offspring . . . Surely, killing them is a great sin.' 17:32

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, if you would like the law on abortion to be changed, you could start a petition about that.
