RightNow, an organization “formed to nominate and elect pro-life politicians,” encouraged members to vote for Jason Kenney for leader. Campaign Life Coalition, an anti-abortion group, gave him perfect ratings for their anti-choice positions. Anti-abortion groups are working behind the scenes with the UCP and the candidates refuse to discuss it.
There is no question, as an MLA Jason Kenney will do everything he can to attack reproductive rights.
UCP refused to participate in legislation for safe access zones and now Jason Kenney is teaming up with Doug Ford. Teachers and health curriculum will be at risk.
We must take action. Too much is at stake.
Contact your MP and MLA today and tell them you support pro-choice representatives.
Volunteer, donate, attend forums, attend conventions, write letters to the editor, vote….make sure pro-choice candidates and parties are elected.
Contact Alberta provincial parties and ask to see their policies. Insist that they have pro-choice, LGBT inclusive policies and candidates.
