Women’s reproductive rights are under threat.
Before the federal election campaign began, a series of private member’s bills were introduced that sought to chip away at a woman’s right to choose. Last spring, all of the Conservative MPs (except four) voted in support of Bill C-484, the Unborn Victims of Crime Act, which would have moved us toward the re-criminalization of abortion.
What did the Conservatives do in response?
They proposed dead-end solutions to violence against women.
They did not protect women’s right to access to quality public abortion services
