OTTAWA – The NDP is looking to push back against what it calls a “creep” of legislation, petitions and threats from the Conservatives aimed at reducing access to abortion.
Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will use its next opposition day to force the House of Commons to debate and vote on a motion that calls for urgent action to improve abortion access.
Speaking in Montreal, Singh also called out the governing Liberals, saying they haven’t done enough to improve abortion access in Canada.
The NDP in its press release cited several examples of what it called “anti-choice” moves from the Tories, including a petition presented earlier this year by a Conservative MP that claimed more than 98 per cent of abortions “are for reasons of social or personal convenience.”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he disagreed with the petition, and has previously called himself “pro-choice” and said he would not pass laws that restrict reproductive choices if he is elected.
A Conservative MP also introduced a bill last year to encourage judges to consider a victim’s pregnancy as an aggravating factor in sentencing – something advocates said could be used to open up the abortion debate.

Prevention of pregnancy comes to mind from a former work colleague of mine who had teenage sons. She kept condoms available in the house and told them to “glove up,” if, and when. Let’s not kid ourselves, even in so-called christian homes where abstinence is encouraged before marriage, these kids are having sex. Our kids went to a “christian” school and yes, many are having sex.
