Status of Women Minister Maryam Monsef is calling out Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole for allowing a bill on abortion from one of his members to move ahead.

Parliamentarians are expected to vote today on the proposed legislation brought forward by Saskatchewan MP Cathay Wagantall that seeks to ban doctors from performing an abortion based on the sex of a fetus.

While MPs including Liberals say they don't support sex-selective abortion, they blast the bill as a Trojan horse attempting to restrict the reproductive rights of women. O'Toole has said he personally won't support the proposed legislation, but his office says he will allow a free votes on matters of conscience for his caucus.

She also points out in her letter that it is Conservative MPs who brought have brought forward abortion seven times since 2007.

The last thing I read said 75% of Canadians were satisfied with abortion laws so why bring it up? It’s the law of the land and isn’t going to change so move on!

The cpc_hq vote showed their true colours... and that they don't respect nor follow erinotoole cpcnot4me cpcWithoutAPlan cdnpoli

Should never be a free vote! Should always be a vote on what the constituents want!

Should be absolutely no talking about abortion, not anyone’s business except the woman who is pregnant. Move on people especially politicians.

Do we have to try everything bad that the 🇺🇸 does?

She should go back to where she belongs, out of parliament

Who is this clown...

How ironic. The Minister is asking O'Toole to take away the MP's choice on a bill about women's choice. Does she not she how idiotic that sounds?

Especially not until Parliament is made up of all women.
