Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- In Canada, abortion is a service covered by public health services, costing taxpayers millions for abortions at hospitals and private abortion facilities, at a cost to taxpayers of approximately 80 million dollars per year;
- Pregnancy is not a disease, injury or illness;
- An abortion is not a medical necessity and therefore should not be funded by taxpayers;
- The Canada Health Act requires provinces to fund "medically necessary" services; and
- The practice of abortion conflicts with the Christian faith and no Canadian should be forced to violate his or her own conscience in order to abide by the tax laws and regulations that fund the killing of unborn children.
