MLA Jim Reiter
Saskatchewan Party, Rosetown-Delisle, SK
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-abortion
Rating Comments: Mr. Reiter issued a news release to announce the approval of universal coverage of Mifegymiso. Mifegysimo is the Canadian brand name for an abortion drug called RU-486.This drug shuts down the woman's pregnancy-sustaining mechanism with the result that the baby, deprived of nutrition, starves to death and detaches from the uterine wall [Regina Leader-Post, June 12, 2019]. Showing his insensitivity to the human rights of unborn children, utterly violated by the brutal violence of abortion, Reiter confessed to the media that covering the abortion pill was an easy decision to make, and that he "didn't think it was an issue".
Nevertheless, to his credit, in October 2023, Reiter voted in favour of a wonderful 'Parents Bill of Rights' law that will require schools to obtain parental consent before their children can use opposite sex names or opposite sex pronouns at school. The bill, which was voted into law, also included other valuable protections against LGBT and sexual grooming in the classroom, which has become rampant over the past decade.

| Bill 137 — The Education (Parents’ Bill of Rights) Amendment Act, 2023 In a groundbreaking victory for parental rights and child protection in Canada, the Saskatchewan provincial government passed its Parents’ Bill of Rights, ensuring that parental authority is respected, family values are prioritized over politically-correct / state-approved values, and students are better protected from falling prey to LGBT grooming and woke ideological indoctination. Premier Scott Moe even invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to shield the pro-family legislation from the whims of unelected, activist judges who might try to label it “transphobic”. Bill 137 passed by a huge vote margin of 40 - 12 on October 20, 2023. |
