Mr. Speaker, our government will always stand up for a woman's right to choose what happens to her body, which is why we have introduced new legislation to ensure that, when a woman seeks reproductive care, she is not unwittingly walking into a clinic that tries to dissuade her from options like abortion.
According to the Abortion Rights Coalition, about 157 so-called pregnancy crisis centres in Canada are actually fronts for the anti-choice movement where, women tell us, they are deceived and made to feel more shame and extra distress at pivotally difficult times in their lives. More than 90% of these anti-choice centres have enjoyed status in Canada as registered charities. Now, they must clearly and fulsomely explain to clients what services they offer or they will lose their charitable status.
Also, according to the Abortion Rights Coalition, there are no pro-choice MPs in the Conservative Party. We know one member left to sit as an independent due to the growing anti-choice caucus. When will the Conservatives stop hiding their misogynistic agenda?
