Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
The Government of Canada is setting to remove charitable status from pregnancy centres simply on the basis that they do not conform to a worldview as prescribed by the Liberals;
Pregnancy centres in Canada play a valuable role in assisting women with information on the rights and resources available to them;
Women depend on pregnancy centres for access to counselling, practical prenatal classes and necessities like food, cribs, strollers, diapers, etc.; and
Many pregnancy centres are volunteer and faith-based organizations who make a positive social impact in the community.
THEREFORE:
We, the undersigned citizens and permanent residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to protect the charitable status of all pregnancy centres and allow pregnant women the right to be informed of all family planning options available to them.
