RE History of the anti-abortion/anti-choice lobby & support it receives from members of parliament

I'm advised that video of Conservative MP's has now been censored

It's unfortunate the anti-choice lobby would behave this way & attempt to deny #PressFreedom in #CDNmedia

But I've spent the night backing up & archiving what evidence remains & I retain copies of most items if you wish to inquire for them

3/13 #CDNpoli #ProChoice #HumanRights #PressFreedom

I believe in a fair debate, so I ventured to restore the most concerning video

This is ex Conservative party president Rick Dykstra, using his elected office to shill for the anti-abortion lobby #ethics

4/13 #CDNpoli #ProChoice #PressFreedom

That alliance between the anti-abortion lobby & Conservative MP's resulted in the repeal of hate speech protection at the Canadian #HumanRights Commission

They sought that power to verbally attack women entering abortion clinics & #LGBTQ's

As noted by @joeboughner, there are 7 Conservative premiers

If Andrew Scheer wins federally, they will meet the threshold to amend the constitution & alter everyone's rights & freedoms #Charter

I also note that pages I hyperlinked within my investigation (post #1) were deleted by original hosts, especially as they pertain to Andrew Scheer

Lately he's denied any connection to the anti-abortion lobby & their influence

7/13 #CDNpoli #ProChoice #HumanRights #PressFreedom

So I located alternate copies of the deleted links to illuminate Andrew Scheer's disposition toward the anti-abortion lobby

(The same one that influenced Rick Dykstra as an MP & that @MaryamMonsef recently complained about)

8/13 #CDNpoli #ProChoice #HumanRights #PressFreedom

Confirming @MaryamMonsef's concerns about Andrew Scheer, the anti-abortion lobby awarded him high praise for supporting their cause

They also noted his fearlessness to engage with the extremist Opus Dei

If you don't know what Opus Dei is, or why it's a big deal that Andrew Scheer had the gumption to host them on Parliament Hill, I advise reading this for an overview of criticism & rebuttal @MaryamMonsef

10/13 #CDNpoli #ProChoice #HumanRights

Andrew Scheer now claims he won't allow Conservatives to re-open the anti-abortion debate if they win election

But the moment he gained power as Speaker of the House that's exactly what he did, overriding PM Harper

11/13 #CDNpoli #ProChoice #HumanRights #PressFreedom

So what would Andrew Scheer do with the rare power to amend our rights & freedoms?

Your guess is as good as mine, but please let it be an educated one

There is a wealth of history to go by & his actions don't match his words

12/13 #CDNpoli #ProChoice @MaryamMonsef

And the anti-abortion lobby isn't limited to women

They also pursue

The right to discriminate against #LGBTQ
The end of #PressFreedom
The end of green energy (#ClimateCrisis denial)
The end of #Indigenous rights
& The end of #HumanRights

13/13 #CDNpoli #ProChoice #HumanRights #PressFreedom @MaryamMonsef

It's important that everyone reads the detailed history of this lobby, to be sure of what it can accomplish & what's truly at stake if Andrew Scheer becomes prime minister #CharterRights
