Press Room

Toronto, Aug. 10, 2012 - The Ontario government has recently restricted access to abortion statistics supposedly because the issue of killing a pre-born child is so “sensitive” that the figures should be kept from Ontario taxpayers, who are forced to fund these abortions, with no accountability.

“The secrecy of the McGuinty government suggests that burying the mounting toll of more than 40,000 babies killed in their mothers’ wombs in Ontario by hiding their records will wipe away the reality of their deaths,” said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC). “This atrocity continues daily in our hospitals and no matter how deeply they bury these records, the staggering numbers of dead babies rises.”

“The McGuinty government fully understands the reality of what they are allowing and still refuses to lift a finger to save these babies,” said Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of CLC. “Abortion kills a human being, hurts women, and is a financial drain on our health care system, and now the government is trying to make it seem like these deaths are not even worthy of being counted.”

Campaign Life Coalition is urging all its supporters to contact the Ontario Premier and their MPPs and ask that the government reverse their decision to restrict public access to abortion records and demand that abortion be defunded.
