Pierre Lemieux is a stalwart pro-life politician who is seeking to replace Stephen Harper as Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada (CPC), the selection of which will take place in May 2017.

Lemieux, the former MP for the Ottawa riding of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, just unveiled his first major policy announcement on December 11th. And it was an announcement that will delight pro-life members of the Party.

Lemieux announced that he supports a debate in the House of Commons on sex selective abortion, referencing a CBC investigative report which found that this barbaric practice is going on in Canada.

In raising this issue, Lemieux becomes the second Conservative Leadership hopeful, along with MP Brad Trost, to make this issue a part of his Leadership policy platform. Trost had announced in October that if he is elected Leader and eventually Prime Minister, his Conservative government will bring forward legislation to ban sex selective abortions.
