Abortions rights advocates urge Liberals to turn politics into policy

"It's good that we are getting the federal support at least in words, but words don't mean very much when it comes to people's lives," said Olivier Hebert, an LGBTQ advocate involved in efforts to save Clinic 554, a family practice in Fredericton at risk of closing without provincial funding. The clinic includes abortions among its services.

"A Liberal government will always defend women's rights, including when challenged by conservative premiers," Trudeau said Oct. 15 in Fredericton.Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer was pressed to clarify his stance abortion over several weeks, eventually confirming that he remains "personally pro-life" but would oppose any attempt to revive the issue in the House of Commons.

"It's abortion access that's about to be closed. We need desperate help from some level of, I think the federal government," she said in front of Trudeau before their formal session began."I was very pleased that there was common ground on acting to stave off the loss of abortion services in New Brunswick," she said afterward.

He also noted the provincial regulation limiting funding to abortions performed in hospitals had also been there under the previous Liberal government of Brian Gallant. At the same time, its November newsletter suggests the anti-abortion organization is worried the fact that the Liberals won a minority government means they will go even further to expand access to abortion services in Canada and elsewhere.

United Conservative Party backbencher Dan Williams introduced a private member's bill in the Alberta legislature earlier this month that would reassert the Charter-protected freedom of conscience and religion for physicians and other health-care providers.

Just because something is determined to be legal does not make it right. Slavery was once legal.

Baby killers.

kinsellawarren Why is it when advocates talk about lives, they never take into consideration, the lives murdered by abortion? About the female lives that are snuffed out before they are given the chance to be women?

Turn what into policy? Using abortion as a tactic to smear your political opponents?
