Liberals vow to prioritize abortion “rights” in Canada’s upcoming federal election

Canadian Minister of Tourism Soraya Martinez Ferrada has confirmed that the Liberal government will push for abortion “rights” until the next federal election even though such “rights” do not exist in Canadian law.

According to the Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) director of communications Pete Baklinski, the absence of a legal structure around abortion has its roots in the 1969 Criminal Code amendment under then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, which initially decriminalized abortion under specific circumstances. This law was invalidated in 1988, with the Supreme Court urging Parliament to craft a replacement. However, subsequent legislative efforts, such as the failed Bill C-43 in 1990, left the country without any laws on abortion.

But then again, Baklinski argued that the decision was not an endorsement of unrestricted abortion. Instead, it is a call for a balanced approach that respects both women’s rights and the interest of the state in protecting fetal life.

“In fact, the court was unanimous in finding that the state has an interest in protecting the lives of humans in the womb. Chief Justice Dickson, with Justice Lamer concurring, wrote: ‘Like Beetz and Wilson JJ., I agree that protection of fetal interests by Parliament is also a valid governmental objective,” Baklinski stated.

But despite the statement of Baklinski,  the Liberal government chose to propose abortion “rights,” instead of passing a law to protect children in their mothers’ wombs. Martinez Ferrada, who also serves as the co-chair of the Liberal Party’s re-election committee, stressed their stance amid claims of rising “populism” attributed to Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre.

“We’re going to make sure we are ready for the next campaign,” she said. “It’s not just a sense that we have the right to abortion but that we have access to abortion. It’s important to break this taboo around abortion. Women here have real concerns,” she claimed.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre also supports abortion

Martinez Ferrada has also claimed that Conservatives seek to introduce laws restricting abortion. However, current Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre strongly supports abortion.

In fact, the CLC has given Poilievre and his stance on life and family issues a “red light” rating.

Back in December, his wife Anaida Poilievre made headlines for advocating their pro-choice stance on abortion. In turn, the CLC stressed Poilievre’s unequivocal declaration during the 2022 Conservative leadership debates, where he stated, in both English and French, that he is “pro-choice.” Additionally, Poilievre has previously voiced support for same-sex marriage.

In February, Poilievre initially refrained from supporting Alberta’s ban on medical transitioning for minors, instructing his MPs to stay silent. Days later, after public opinion favored the policy, Poilievre also voiced his support.

Similarly, Poilievre was notably absent from the Million Person March against LGBT indoctrination in schools last September. His office reportedly instructed Conservative caucus members to avoid commenting on the protest. It was only after public outcry and evidence of grassroots support that Poilievre criticized Trudeau for “demonizing concerned parents” and voiced support for parental rights.
