Calgary AB has just had two consecutive days of 30 plus police vehicles in convoy, black sedans and SUV's, tinted glass, sirens and lights ala the Germany video. I wish I had a video to share.

Canada: Today our leaders voted against the Sex Selective Abortion Act in a vote of 248 - 82. That means the bill will not be studied by a committee or become law, and abortion remains legal in Canada for any reason, at any stage of pregnancy.

While this is disappointing, it is not surprising. The hours of debate showed clearly just how strong the pro-abortion sentiment is in Canada. MPs were seemingly angry about having to debate the abortion issue. While many of the MPs who spoke were clearly uncomfortable with sex selective abortion, they did not engage on the substance of Bill C-233, and most stuck to old and tired rhetoric about a woman’s choice to do with her body anything she pleases. It revealed the truth that for all their platitudes about women’s rights, at the end of the day they are only concerned with being pro-abortion and not about protecting women at the earliest stages of life.

This vote shows us how far we have to go in changing hearts and minds on the issue of abortion. But it also shows us how far we have come, that a bill to restrict abortion was debated by MPs for the first time in over a decade and that it received 82 votes!

When We Need a Law launched in 2012, the abortion debate was almost non-existent from a political perspective. Our leaders had done a good job of avoiding the abortion debate entirely, effectively removing it from the legal and political sphere. But we knew that Canadians did not see the issue as closed. Yes, abortion is a social and moral issue, but it is also a deeply political issue, with questions around a government’s calling and responsibility to consider the best interests of its citizens, especially the most vulnerable.

While we have a long way to go, we are making progress. There are solid pro-life MPs who are united and organized, with MP Cathay Wagantall championing her second pro-life private member’s bill since 2015. The level of engagement we saw from you is also a sign we are moving forward. The pink envelopes you sent to Ottawa, the pink flag displays you organized, the Zoom meetings you had with your MPs, you have shown that there is a strong Canadian pro-life movement that is supporting and encouraging pro-life MPs.

And there is moral conviction that is stronger than any political maneuvering. The conviction that life is precious, and that life begins in the womb, will be what continues to carry us as we keep up the good fight to see every human life protected from the moment of conception.

This bill told us where we are at – we are no longer at the very beginning, but the steps we have made are still small. Pro-life bills will need to be introduced and re-introduced, over and over, until ideas that seemed radical at first become familiar, accepted, and gradually work their way into the fabric of society.

Take heart that while this may be a long road, we are making progress.This may be the end of Bill C-233, but it is not the end of the abortion debate in Canada. Stay tuned as we’ll continue to ask and equip you to engage with your politicians letting them know that we need a law that protects pre-born children.
Thank you for your concerted efforts over this past year in promoting this Bill.
