Dear,<\/span><\/p>\nIn June 2012 a CBC undercover investigation found that gender selective abortions are happening in Canada. It is troublesome to me that pre-born females are being targeted in the womb simply because they are girls.<\/span><\/p>\nShortly after CBC aired their investigation all the political parties in Ottawa condemned this from happening. Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq said, \u201cWe totally condemn that… it is unacceptable\u201d. NDP heath critic Libby Davies along with her colleague Niki Ashton said in a statement, \u201cit [abortion] has no place in our society\u201d.

It is imperative that in the struggle against gendercide you support it.<\/span><\/p>\nIn addition to all the political parties condemning sex-selective abortion, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario have all publicly condemned it as well.
