A southern Alberta women's group is asking people to crochet or knit copies of women's reproductive organs that will be sent to Parliament as part of a nationwide protest.

Members of Womanspace in Lethbridge are concerned about a private member's motion by Tory MP Stephen Woodworth that a committee re-examine when a fetus should be considered a human being.

The women's groups say that would reignite a national debate on abortion that could eventually make it illegal again.

Womanspace spokeswoman Jenn Prosser says it's important that politicians know any changes to women's reproductive rights won't be tolerated.

Knitworks are to be sent to Parliament at the end of August as part of a national movement on Facebook called Womb Swarm Parliament — Textile Artists United Against Motion M-312.

Woodworth's motion is to be voted on in the fall session.

The advocacy group is holding a knitting session in Lethbridge Tuesday.
