Abortion is one of the key political issues where the Liberals want to distinguish themselves from the Conservatives.
“Canada is a country where we stand up for women’s rights,” Justin Trudeau said. “And I will not allow others to limit those rights.”
The Liberals are going on the offensive over this issue, by committing to “no longer provide charity status to anti-abortion organizations (for example, Crisis Pregnancy Centres).” Both measures could provoke a negative reaction from pro-life advocates – and put pressure on the Conservatives to oppose the policy. With the recent rollback of abortion rights in United States fresh in the minds of many, the next Liberal campaign will hope this issue motivates women voters as it has in the past.
