More tax dollars to sexual and reproductive health and rights

Minister Valdez announces $15.5 million in federal funding to strengthen national women’s organizations across Canada

"This investment will help advance the work of organizations focused on justice, leadership, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and gender-based violence. The organizations that will receive funding will be selected in the coming weeks.

The Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW) will receive up to $1 million to collaborate with other national women’s organizations, as well as key stakeholders beyond the women’s sector. This initiative will support a more sustainable and coordinated sector that is better positioned to advance action on persistent gender inequalities over the long term."

What nonsense. Our government already gives way too much funding to women's organizations. Why are we giving more? How about we pay down our massive debt instead?

Hiding government abortion spending

I think we can file this blog under the title misinformation. Or maybe sneaky. Or how about, we are spending your tax dollars on abortion and don't want you to find it where we publish all other government spending?

I have done a lot of research using the Grants and Contributions database for things like 'reproductive health', 'pride', 'LGBTQetc'. That's how I learn how our tax dollars are being spent on Justin Trudeau's favourite ideologies. 

Then there's this: Faculty of Medicine researchers have received $3.8 million from the Government of Canada to address barriers to abortion access for underserved populations. 

But when I went to look in the G&C database to see this funding, I couldn't find it listed. I tried numerous combinations of words, but no, the funding wouldn't show up. So I then contacted the program itself. They said:

"The research project you reference is funded by the Government of Canada’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Fund. You can learn more about the fund in the federal government’s news release for this funding. If you have any questions about the Sexual and Reproductive Health Fund, we recommend contacting the Government of Canada."

So down the rabbit hole I went, emailing the Minister of Health, the Deputy Minister, and others. Finally I got a response. I received two links: Initial Funding | Renewal of Funding to the G&C database. (I didn't even know about the second one). The first one is for $3,833,486 and the second one for $1,287,991 for a total of $5,121,477.

Now please take careful note of the description of this funding in the G&C database:

"Description: To support the federal government’s commitment to maintain a strong and effective publicly funded health care system through investments in emerging and demonstrated innovations in priority areas, such as palliative and end-of-life care, home and community care, mental health care and other federal, provincial-territorial and emerging priorities."

There is nothing about addressing barriers to abortion access for underserved populations. In fact, what has palliative care and end-of-life have to do with abortion access? No wonder I couldn't find the funding. 

So what other abortion funding is Justin Trudeau hiding in the G&C database?

Pro-choice government alleviates poverty through abortion

"Our government is unapologetically and unequivocally pro-choice." Harjit Sajjan Minister of International Development

Harjit Sajjan is very proud of his government being "unapologetically and unequivocally pro-choice". But it's not enough that Canada is the most permissive country in the world when it comes to abortion. In Minister Sajjan's little video he seems awfully pleased that his government is now happily exporting Canada's extreme abortion ideology to 28 other countries.

"Since 2020 Canada has spent over a half billion dollars on "sexual and reproductive health and rights", in 28 countries, 4.5 million people have received "sexual and reproductive health services", and "abortion and post-abortion care" to over 76,000 women in 17 countries, to train 12,000 new " healthcare care" workers in the provision of this "sexual and reproductive care " in over 4,200 facilities."

In fact Canada has actually spent $1,224,874,902 on "sexual and reproductive health" since 2020, which includes abortion.

Nearly all of this 1 billion plus handout was actually supposed to alleviate poverty under the International Development Assistance Program:

"The main purpose on the International Development Assistance Program is to reduce poverty for those living in countries where Global Affairs Canada engages in international development."

Countries affected: Nicaragua, Mozambique, Uganda, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, Togo, Syria, Iraq, Mali, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Philippines, Burkina Faso, Venezuela, Ghana, Haiti, Somalia, Jordan, Lebanon, and the occupied Palestinian territory, Afghanistan, etc.

Killing babies in the womb seems to be one of our government's answers to alleviating poverty in poor countries.
