| CBC survey of Nunavut MLAs: Do you believe women should have access to abortion? This Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) survey of all Nunavut MLAs was published on July 5, 2022 and was clearly motivated to shore up support for the continued killing of unborn children in Canada, as it was issued just days following the June 24, 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn the 1973 pro-abortion Roe vs. Wade decision. |
