Pro-abort gets tax dollars to promote reproductive justice

F.L. Jessica Ball from the University of Victoria wrote a paper with Joyce Arthur, and received $28,792 in government funding from SSHRC to do it: Abortion Attitudes and Access: Building A Canadian Framework for Reproductive Justice.

I couldn't find the report published on-line (why isn't it on-line?) but I did receive the report in an ATIP I did to SSHRC.

The pro-aborts want to progress from reproductive rights (mentioned 31 times in the report) to reproductive justice (mentioned 73 times in the report). Must be important.

A couple of key fabrications in the report.

• The author states three times in her tax-payer funded report, that there is a Charter right to abortion. There is no Charter right to abortion in Canada.
• The author states that Pierre Poilievre has been rated as pro-life by Arthur's ARCC. Pierre Poilievre has publicly stated he is pro-choice. Nope. Not pro-life.
• The author references a study by Laroche and Foster on pregnancy care centres in Ontario and their 'deceptive tactics'. This study was done in 2015 but the public can't see it unless they want to pay for it. In any case, since then there have been volumes written debunking this infamous pro-abortion myth.
• The author states "They [ARCC] is a charitable organization". No it isn't.
• This is interesting. According to the report: "The University of British Columbia’s Contraception and Abortion Research Team (CART) was awarded $3.8 million from the Government of Canada to develop resources for underserved populations seeking abortion and to establish a national training platform for healthcare professionals, focusing on destigmatized and contextually appropriate abortion care (University of British Columbia, 2023)." But the grants and contributions database does not report this funding. Why not?
• The author uses the phrase 'pregnant person' 15 times. Everyone knows that only women get pregnant.

I wonder if a pro-life researcher could receive $28,792 to write the report Why do the pro-aborts keep getting millions of dollars and we get zero dollars?

Holding Justin Trudeau to account on the fallacy of a Charter Right to abortion

Below I post (with permission) Theresa Winchester's recent correspondence with Justin Trudeau. She received a reply from his office, then she replies again.

It's hard to believe that the Prime Minister of Canada doesn't know that there is no charter right to abortion. It's also good to know that people will challenge Justin Trudeau on this lack of knowledge.

I think it is very important that others write Justin Trudeau about this subject. The chances of you getting a sincere and honest reply are nil. But it is still important to do make our views known. Trudeau is our Prime Minister. He is accountable to us. Even though he acts like he isn't.

Mr. Trudeau, I am re-sending this information because you perhaps didn't receive the hard copy letter and printed copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms previously sent.  The staff member who has been erroneously advising you may have scooped it up without sending it onward to you?  

Sincerely, I have your own best interests at heart.  Each and every time I hear you talk about Charter rights to abortion, you are really really putting yourself in an embarrassing position that won't bode well for your place in Canadian history.  The sooner you cease making incorrect statements [like those recorded in the attached facebook video below], the less frequent you will look foolish and ill-informed.  Your children will one day be truly aghast that their father continuously spoke very sincerely about a right that does not exist in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.  This will be particularly so in their case since it was their grandfather, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, who won a place in history by the creation of this seminal document. https://www.facebook.com/RightNowHQ/videos/537095176740840/ 

Just in case it is I who is ill-informed or has lost her ability to read fairly simple and straightforward English words, please let me know by return email if you can find frequently touted right to abortion in the Charter, attached in PDF form, either explicitly stated or by implication.  I have searched it manually more than once; I have also used those three little dots in the top right of the document to do an electronic search.  I still can't find it; indeed, I can't find a right to any medical treatments using either method.

You would be doing me and many many of my friends, family and acquaintances a huge favour if you could point out to me exactly where you are reading that entitlement.  Because, you see, we are calling you a simpleton and worse for putting words into the Charter that are not there. 

Yours sincerely, 

Theresa Winchester

Prime Minister's response

Subject: Office of the Prime Minister / Cabinet du Premier ministre 

Dear Ms. Winchester: 

On behalf of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, I would like to acknowledge receipt of your correspondence regarding abortion. 

Please be assured that your comments have been carefully reviewed. As you may know, the abortion provisions of the Criminal Code fall within the purview of the Honourable Jody Wilson-Raybould, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. I have therefore taken the liberty of forwarding a copy of your email to Minister Wilson-Raybould, for her information and consideration. 

Thank you for taking the time to write.

Theresa's subsequent response:

Further to your email, please advise further rationale for sending my correspondence to the Minister of Justice.  I am aware that abortion, if it were an illegal activity, would fall under the Criminal Code of Canada but there was no mention of abortion as a legal or illegal activity in Canada in my email.  My stated concern is that the Prime Minister of Canada, by word and deed, seems to be unaware that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not include a right to an abortion.  This is the concern that warrants a response from the PMO. 

Honestly, your email sounds very much like a "don't you worry your pretty little head about this" response.  There are times when it would appear that elected officials and their staff believe that Canadians are just not very bright and won't understand when they are being patronized or treated as though they are stupid.  This is one of those time.  

Sincerely,
Theresa Winchester

Trudeau digs his hole deeper and deeper

Remember this letter I wrote to Justin Trudeau back in 2014?

That letter had more than 400 names on it.

Well yesterday a signatory of that letter asked me if Justin had ever replied to that latter. This is what she said:

"could you please tell me whether Justin Trudeau ever replied to the letter (with many, many signatures, including mine) expressing concern about his requiring his Liberal-party colleagues to vote pro-choice (i.e., abortion). I am curious because I used to write correspondence for Ministers and MPs and it was unheard of, back then, to ignore or not to answer a letter."

Not only did I send Mr Trudeau many subsequent emails reminding him that I was waiting for a reply, but I also sent the letter via snail mail. I guess Trudeau thinks he's a cut above regular MPs, and he doesn't need to follow the same etiquette as other MPs do, because Trudeau never replied to that letter.

Now Trudeau is getting push back on his Federal Job Program which he's disallowed us from using. And he's claiming his standard nonsense that there is a charter right to abortion, aided and abetted by the pro-abortions and their leader, extremist Joyce Arthur.

Arthur also likes to say that there is a Charter right to abortion. Of course they're both wrong but that doesn't stop them from saying it. Over and over again. I guess they think we're stupid.

Even the Americans think Trudeau's anti-pro-life actions are reprehensible.

Does Justin Trudeau realize who he's flirting with?

"...Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies..." (Fleetwood Mac 1987)

Justin Trudeau is not stupid. Justin Trudeau is not ignorant.

So why did he tell the CBC this morning, that women have a charter right to abortion? 

Trudeau said:

"A Woman's right to choose is a charter right."

This isn't true.

Is it because he is doing the populace thing and telling (some) people what he thinks they want to hear? Is he doing it to get votes? Why is he courting the radical feminists?

He's not saying this for the "pro-choice" crowd--those who don't support unlimited abortion for any reason at any time.

It's the pro-abortions this would appeal to, a very small minority of (mostly) women who are extreme abortion advocates who believe late term abortion is okay; who believe sex-selection abortion is okay; who believe any abortion is always okay. The ones who worship at the altar of abortion.

I can't think of any other reasons he'd say this.

Dear Justin, 

The Charter doesn't give women the right to abortion. You know this. 

It does your credibility no good when you make up stuff about the Charter. It puts you in the same category as the pro-abortions who do this all the time. Is this really who you want to be identified with? 

I strongly suggest you rethink your strategy. I don't think this is the company you want to keep. 

Sincerely,
etc. etc.

Pro-abortion arguments: dandelions in the wind

The twitter feed to #yes2trudeau is quite entertaining. Its purpose of course, is to counter the #no2trudeau campaign.

Here are a few of the comments on Twitter's #yes2trudeau:

"Why should MEN (or women) control the bodies of another person?"

"“No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body.” ― Margaret Sanger" 

"I believe in a woman's right to choose" 

"As a Liberal, and as a mother, I stand strongly in support of a women’s right to choose"

"...directly from the ruling. It violated the charters right under section 7, regardless of interpretations of human"

"It is every woman's fundamental right to choose. No one can take that away from us!"

"Seriously? We want to move forward, not back. My body, my informed decision. Support women's rights"

"Good conscious is not imposing your beliefs to remove rights from the people. I support womens rights and her right to choose."

"How can we be in this day and age and still want to control a woman's body"

Here's the thing. Can't the pro-abortions come up with an actual argument to explain why they support Trudeau's edict of discrimination against pro-life candidates? Something that makes sense? Because none of the "reasons" above make any sense at all.

Just like it doesn't make any sense when the pro-abortions are trying to convince us that abortion is necessary. Everyone knows that the pre-born child is not part of a woman's body; that abortion is not a constitutional right; that the statement "a woman's right to choose..." isn't even a sentence. So how can a reasonable person support any of that?

I'm tired of their boring rhetoric. Its just so much fluff. It makes me yawn. It makes me want to take a nap.
