Poilievre voted to reopen the abortion debate in 2010. He'll do it again. Don't believe him now. (www.ourcommons.ca)

  1. The Criminal Code is amended by adding the following after section 264.1: Coercion in relation to an abortion 264.2 (1) Every one who coerces a female person to procure or attempt to procure an abortion for herself is guilty of (a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years; or (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months. Attempted coercion (2) Every one who attempts to coerce a female person to procure an abortion for herself is guilty of (a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or (b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months.

This was prompted because a man murdered his partner who refused to get an abortion that he wanted her to get. This is not the pro-pregnant person dunk you might think it is.

Yes it is. Murder is already illegal. Abortion had nothing to do with it except a pretext, but they wanted to reopen the debate any way they could.

Here's another one. I got 3 more like this where PP voted Yes.

The proposed law would have prevented the situation should it have been followed, which is the point.

In the next bill you shared

"existing criminal law does not recognize the injury or death caused to a preborn child as a separate offence when a pregnant woman is the victim of a crime, even if the sole purpose of her attacker is to kill her child;"

This is another response to a man dictating what he thinks should happen with a pregnant woman's body.

. I got 3 more like this where PP voted Yes.

Are any of them not in response to a man murdering a woman? Because I'd probably be more convinced by that.
