WILL PC/WILDROSE SHARE THEIR ABORTION POSITION WITH ALBERTANS?

EDMONTON – With today’s attendance by at least one Wildrose MLA at an anti-choice rally against abortion on the steps of the Alberta Legislature, it’s time the PCs and Wildrose share their abortion position with Albertans.

As MPs, Jason Kenney and Brian Jean voted against women’s abortion rights at every opportunity. An anti-abortion group gave them perfect ratings for their anti-choice positions. They voted to re-open the abortion debate in 2012, which was defeated.[1]

Today, Wildrose MLA Grant Hunter attended an anti-abortion rally at the Legislature.

It’s time both parties and their MLAs share their abortion positions with Albertans.
