New Conservative MP Lewis to fight Liberal plan to axe charity status for anti-abortion pregnancy centres

The newly elected Ontario representative revealed her plans to a recent crowd of demonstrators who gathered in Ottawa to rally against the Liberal government's promise to remove charity status for anti-abortion organizations.

"We know that regardless of the fact that they may distribute some diapers, they have impacts on people's access to health care, and they have public health impacts in terms of delayed access to care," said Frederique Chabot, director of health promotion at Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, said of crisis pregnancy centres.

"As a member of Parliament, I will be opposing the proposed illiberal, anti-women policy that would seek to strip charitable status from organizations … that don't pass Justin Trudeau's values test," Lewis said her statement. "They surely do not want to get into that discussion because that is really fraught with difficulty," he said.

"If anyone is at crisis, for any reason, whether it's addiction, homelessness, an issue related to choice for a woman, we need to bring people together, not divide them. And that's what Conservatives will try and do."

Here’s a small thread about the harm that CPCs do.

Never should have had charitable status to begin with. Too many games played with charitable status for those with religious and political agendas. If they are allowed to exist at all, funding anti-abortion clinics should be without the support of tax payers dollars

So when will erinotoole give her the boot, I thought he said his party stood for women’s right to abortion. Did Lewis not get the memo?

Nasty woman

Fun fun. I guess it’s the CPC_HQ in 2021.

She's a Conservative? Well of course she is.

Yet another reason to NeverVoteConservative

What is a 'New Conservative '?

Hmmm.... curious, could there be fordnation MPPs supporting this?

FOH

Leslyn Lewisis arguing in support of charities which “ provide dishonest counselling to women about their rights and about the options available to them at all stages of the pregnancy.' How do you possibly say that meeting that low bar is infringing on religious freedom?

I can understand that men who hate or are afraid of women voting for her, but why would women vote for her?

The federal government is correct to revoke the charitable status of orgs doing work that attacks women's autonomy & imposes their religious beliefs on women's healthcare decisions. LeslynLewis you are absolutely wrong on this and we will fight you. My body. My decision.

Of course she is.

She’s awful

Pretty on brand for the CPC_HQ who is consistently against women’s rights to body autonomy and equality.

erinotoole This is a mistake. The Conservatives should be fighting to remove charity status for ALL groups doing political work.

NeverVoteConservative Their bad for women's rights .
