1/ Anti-choice film “Unplanned” was screened in Ottawa just last month, where MPs Arnold Viersen, Michael Barrett, Brad Trost and Harold Albrecht were in attendance. This is an insult to a woman’s right to choose.
2/ These same MPs, and 8 others, also stood on stage with the film’s anti-choice activist Abby Johnson.
3/ This film was screened again last night in Edmonton as part of a “Battle for Canada” event. Faytene Grasseschi, is an event organizer who participated in the screening.
4/ Let’s take a look at what she had to say about @AndrewScheer and his support for her anti-choice crusade.
5/ Faytene is also cozy with a lot of other Conservatives, including Stephen Harper, Rob Nicholson, and Doug Ford.
6/ Let’s take a look into who Battle for Canada is, shall we? First off, they invoke war and violent imagery and rhetoric. A lot.
7/ They also see Marriage Equality as a threat. It is not. It's a constitutionally protected right. It’s disturbing to see conservative groups stoking fear & hatred against the LGBTQ2 community while invoking violent imagery. There's no place for violence or hate in this country.
8/ This weekend in Edmonton, Battle for Canada will be organizing training for kids as young as 5 to become “Children on the Frontlines” of the anti-choice & anti-equality movements: battleforcanada.com/children-on-th….
9/ That’s just wrong. Diversity is our strength & equality is a fundamental right. They’re also bringing in professional campaigners from the US to lead these sessions.
10/ The same type of professional campaigners who got a law passed in Alabama that would send a doctor to prison for 99 years for performing an abortion. These same laws are also being passed in Georgia, Ohio, Mississippi and Kentucky.
11/ Liberals will always stand with women and their reproductive rights.
Conservatives clearly do not.

Once again, the Conservative Party is showing their true colours. #Standforchoice
