(LifeSiteNews) – Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), blasted the late-term killing of unborn babies as “abhorrent,” saying the time is right for a debate on abortion in Canada.
“It’s perfectly legal to kill a fully developed unborn baby during the third trimester of a pregnancy, a baby who would be viable if born prematurely,” Bernier wrote in a newsletter sent out to his followers last week.
“I find this abhorrent. It’s akin to allowing infanticide. Whether there are few or many is irrelevant anyway. A murder is a murder and it should be outlawed.”
Bernier began his email by highlighting how Canada has today in effect no law on abortion, and that there is no “constitutional right to abortion.”
“Because of this legal void, there is no legal obstacle in Canada to have an abortion at any stage in the pregnancy — including up to minutes before a child is born” Bernier noted.
