Dates of Upcoming Elections in Various Provinces
Many pro-lifers tend to ignore provincial politics, assuming all the important stuff happens federally. Not true. It’s actually very important to get involved at the provincial level to advance the pro-life/pro-family cause. The reality is that there are more gains that can be achieved with legislation/regulations by pro-life provincial legislators, then there are at the federal level.
Working together in every province, we can make progress in many areas, including some the following examples:
- Eliminating the use of taxpayer dollars to fund elective abortions
- Parental consent/notification legislation for minors seeking abortion
- Requirement for women seeking abortion to view an ultrasound of their unborn child
Please study the chart below and plan to get involved in your province’s next provincial election. Here are some important ways to get involved:
-Consider seeking the nomination for one of the parties in your own provincial riding
-Encourage well-rounded pro-life people in your circle of influence to run for provincial office
-Help Campaign Life Coalition identify where the candidates stand on important pro-life issues
