The head of a pro-abortion group has written to MPs to have employers opposed to assisted suicide disqualified from receiving funding under the Canada Summer Jobs program. The letter, sent to the House of Commons human resources committee, is from the same group that successfully lobbied in 2017 for funding to be withheld from employers that don’t support abortion.
“Rights include not just reproductive rights but also LGBTQ rights, racial equality, the right to medical assistance in dying and any other fundamental right protected under our Charter and human rights codes,” wrote Vancouver-based Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada executive director Joyce Arthur, in a letter obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
