A Conservative government will focus on promoting adoption rather than banning abortion, party leader Pierre Poilievre said in a letter to a pro-life group member.

He made the comments in a Sept. 11 letter to Dan Plemel, a member of the pro-life group Campaign Life Coalition. In the letter, Poilievre said that legislation promoting adoption and helping pregnant women in crisis will do “greater good” than prohibiting abortion.
