| Motion urging the federal government to finance & export abortion Quebec MNAs unanimously condemned a moderately pro-life policy decision made by the Harper government to refuse financing abortion in third world countries. The National Assembly motion, passed 109-0 and read: “That [Quebec’s] National Assembly reaffirms the right of women to free choice and to free and accessible abortion services, and asks the federal government and the Prime Minister of Canada to put an end to the current ambiguity on this issue, and that the National Assembly reaffirms that the fact of supporting women’s right to an abortion should not in any case be used by the federal government to cut funding to a women’s group.” [May 19, 2010] |
