When Trudeau committed billions of dollars to funding \u201creproductive health and rights\u201d worldwide, we spoke<\/a> out against this blatant use of Canadian tax dollars<\/a> to push abortion on other countries. Not only would these countries rather<\/a> have things like clean drinking water and liveable wages, but suggesting abortion as a solution can actually be viewed as an insult<\/a> to cultures that value family far more than we apparently do.<\/p>\n Now, despite a party policy opposing the funding of abortion overseas, Conservative leader Andrew Scheer has said he will do nothing to cut funding currently supporting abortion services in other countries.<\/p>\n In Toronto earlier this week, Andrew Scheer announced a foreign aid policy that would reduce foreign aid commitments in an attempt to balance the budget here at home. When asked if this would impact overseas funding for abortion, he stuck<\/a> by his tired line, and went even further: \u201cWe are not reopening the debate at any level. \u2026Groups that are receiving funding will continue to receive funding going into the future. This decision does not affect groups or programs going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
