Tim Hudak will put abortion at risk for Ontarians

Don’t just take my word for it, take theirs.

Looking at Tim Hudak’s record on abortion, pro-choice advocates feel that a vote for the Conservative Party in the provincial election would put abortion rights in danger for women in Ontario.

“Tim Hudak signed a petition to end abortion funding in Ontario,” said Carolyn Egan of the Ontario Coalition for Abortion Clinics and the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada. “He is now running to be premier of this province, and it is tremendously worrying to have a leader who has publicly taken an anti-abortion position potentially in charge of women’s healthcare in this province.”

In the 1990s, there was a strong attempt to de-fund abortion in Alberta. Restricting abortion access through cutting services and funding under the banner of austerity is a real concern should Hudak win this election.
