Lies, lies and more lies

Many MPs tabled petitions against Justin Trudeau's pathetic pledge to remove the charitable status from Pregnancy Care Centres.

Here is the response received by one of these MPs:

"Response by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance

Signed by (Minister or Parliamentary Secretary): The Honourable Chrystia Freeland

The Government of Canada thanks the petitioners for expressing their views about Canada's charitable sector.

Canada's charitable sector is diverse and vibrant. From education to social support services, an estimated 86,000 registered charities engage in public benefit activities that touch almost every aspect of Canadian life. Registered charities are provided important supports under the tax system, including an exemption from income tax and the ability to issue official donation receipts for any gifts that they receive. All Canadians should have the information they need to freely make decisions over their own bodies and have access to the medical care and services that are their legal right. Registered charities that provide reproductive health services are required to provide accurate and evidence-based information to women with respect to their rights and options at all stages of their pregnancy. In this regard, the Government of Canada is committed to taking action to ensure that organizations that provide dishonest counselling to pregnant women are ineligible for charitable registration, while respecting Canadians’ right to freedom of expression and freedom of conscience and religion under the Charter."

Notice the bolded lies embedded in the response:

All Canadians should have the information they need to freely make decisions over their own bodies and have access to the medical care and services that are their legal right.

The child in a woman's womb is not her own body; the the killing of a pre-born child is not medical care for the child; and abortion is not a right no matter how many times you say it is.
