For Your Action: G8 Summit Decision by Prime Minister Harper
In a recent note from Kathy Matusiac, Executive Director of The deVeber Institute for Bioethics and Social Research, she indicates that "After just speaking to both the Prime Minister and Hon. Bev Oda's office, I urge you as individuals to contact them and applaud them in their resolve to not bring abortion to other countries as a form of foreign aid. They have not received any positive response for their position. They are however, receiving intense pressure from the public, media and various government officials to fund abortion in developing nations. Please take a moment to tell them otherwise".
Though the Conservative Government's move does not reduce the number of funded abortions taking place within Canada, Priests for Life Canada supports Prime Minister Harper and MPs from all Parties who support the effort to refuse foreign aid to assist women in terminating the lives of their unborn children. As opposition parties continue to press the government to support foreign abortion funding through the G8 Summit initiative, we ask everyone to recognize the position taken by Prime Minister Harper and send a short note or card of thanks. Your own words are the best, but you can simply say, "Dear Mr. Prime Minister, Stephen Harper: You, your Party, and all MPs who support this measure, are to be commended for upholding the rights of unborn children abroad by not extending funding for abortion to other countries. We ask you to also extend this coverage to exclude artificial contraception and I pray that similar consideration will be extended to coverage now available within Canada".
