(LifeSiteNews) –– Canada’s leading pro-life organization has blasted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for calling for abortion access to be expanded and protected as a “right.”
On Thursday, Trudeau put out a message in support of “International Safe Abortion Day” saying the Government of Canada “reaffirms its unwavering commitment to ensuring that women and girls here at home and around the world have access to abortion.”
“We will never put a woman’s right to choose up for debate,” said Trudeau.
National President of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) Jeff Gunnarson told LifeSiteNews that Trudeau’s comments are tone deaf to the reality that abortion is never “safe,” nor a positive thing that should be cherished as a “right.”
“It results in the killing of the child in the mother’s womb. The procedure has failed if it does not result in a dead baby. It’s impossible to ‘safely’ kill someone,” said Gunnarson.
“Abortion also poses serious risks for the mother and can harm her on many levels, including physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. Abortion has nothing to do with healthcare. It’s an evil practice that must be banned.”
