While still supporting abortion in the first 3 months, Maxime Bernier and his People’s Party have become the biggest federal party willing to oppose abortion in any capacity.
(LifeSiteNews) — Leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), Maxime Bernier, has promised to introduce legislation to ban late-term abortion in Canada if elected. The current practice in Canada allows abortion-on-demand for any reason through all nine months of pregnancy and is supported by all other major federal political parties, including the Conservative Party.
“Pierre Poilievre has repeatedly said he is pro-choice, and he doesn’t want to reopen this debate and change the law,” said Bernier while speaking at a campaign stop in Red Deer, Alberta, on April 16.

“The People’s Party believes it is time for Canada to join the civilized world by enacting reasonable restrictions on abortion that balance the rights of the mother with the protection of unborn life.”
It is important to note that a mother never has a “right” to kill her unborn child no matter the stage of pregnancy. It is also worth noting that this is a fact of the natural law knowable through reason alone and has been affirmed infallibly by the Catholic Church.
“Instead of valuing and promoting life, Canada’s government allows, and even promotes, policies that bring death,” Bernier continued at his rally, reminding those in attendance that there is a “very influential death cult in Canada.”
“Canada is one of the few countries in the world that has no legal restrictions on abortion. As a result, abortions can legally be performed at any stage of pregnancy, including during the third trimester of a pregnancy. It’s legal to kill a fully developed baby who would be viable if born prematurely,” Bernier reminded Canadians, calling such a permissive regime “infanticide.”
“A People’s Party government will break the taboo surrounding abortion and encourage an open, respectful, and fact-based discussion on this issue,” the leader promised.
