Canada: Bill hailed by Pro-Lifers

Written by Super User 18 May 2010

‘No woman should be threatened, intimidated or pressured into aborting a child against her will. Not in a nation such as ours that values life and human rights.’ The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada has announced that they are endorsing Bill C-510 the proposed legislation that would criminalize the coercion of pregnant women to obtain abortions. The bill was introduced last Wednesday by Conservative MP Rod Bruinooge would ensure that pregnant women who choose to carry their child to term will have that decision respected and protected. This is a bill that, while not addressing the legality of abortion in any way, will make it a criminal offence to coerce a woman into an unwanted abortion. Bruinooge has named his bill ‘Roxanne's Law’ after Roxanne Fernando whose boyfriend attempted to coerce her to have an abortion. She refused to have the unborn child killed and was beaten and left to die in a snow bank.

Pray: the Canadian government and society to have God’s thoughts and support programs and resources protecting unborn children and their mothers. (Ps.139:16)
