Dear Friends & Partners,
Parliament had a very active start this week, with the Official Opposition firing hard at the government on a variety of fronts, including:
Strengthening our bail system to stop criminals from re-offending (MP Rob Moore).
Whistleblowing the multi-millions of taxpayer dollars wasted on empty COVID hotels (MP Michelle Rempel Garner).
Whistleblowing the secret signing of the Agile Nations Charter (MP/Dr. Leslyn Lewis).
The tabling of the Violence Against Pregnant Women Act (MP Cathay Wagantall).
....just to name a few important items.
But all of this was overshadowed by the shocking news that yesterday, in Montreal, a 38-week-old unborn child was legally aborted by hospital staff.
The situation was first shared by Quebec Life Coalition, which alerted their email list to pray. Someone who had firsthand knowledge of the situation wrote:
"Hello, I've gotten access to information that I don't know how to react to. Thursday morning, the Sacred Heart hospital will commit a 38-week abortion. The lady said she wasn't certain about keeping the child. I find this horrible, what can I do? Is there something to be done?"
We then heard a report that the abortion happened at 8 am yesterday.
We can hardly comprehend this. There are a few important things to note about this situation:
▪ it was legal; Canada has no restrictions on abortion
▪ the baby was viable outside of the womb
▪ the baby was wanted because there is a waiting list for the adoption of newborn babies
▪ it is arguable that the termination of the pregnancy at this stage was a more dangerous procedure than a c-section would have been

▪ | the baby was wanted because there is a waiting list for the adoption of newborn babies |

There was no good reason not to spare this child's life.
We are going to be blunt...
