WHY: To announce our 2012 campaign to remove elective abortions from the list of insured services in Ontario’s Health Insurance Plan. Part 1 of the campaign involves Ontario taxpayers staging province-wide “Defund Abortion Rallies” on Saturday October 13 at their local MPP’s office. This grassroots initiative is unprecedented and thus far, rallies are planned in 40+ ridings.
Just as federal MP Stephen Woodworth’s human life motion re-opened the debate in the House of Commons, CLCY and fed-up Ontario taxpayers plan to re-open a debate at Queen’s Park.
Following the local rallies, Ontario taxpayers will hold a major rally at Queen’s Park on Tuesday October 30. They will protest the economic drain of taxpayer-financed abortion and explain why their hard-earned tax dollars should not pay for a medically unnecessary procedure that kills children, while genuine areas of health care are neglected.
About Campaign Life Coalition Youth
CLCY is a division of Campaign Life Coalition that is tasked with engaging Canadian youth, and harnessing their dynamism, in the civil rights issue of our age – legal protection for children in the womb. CLCY believes that Ontarians who object to the killing of children should not be forced to co-finance abortion.
