BACKGROUND TO PETITION
The Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made promoting abortion and other population-control measures in Africa the centerpiece of Canada’s foreign policy.
His government has committed to spending $650 million over the next three years to promote what it euphemistically calls sexual and reproductive health rights in developing countries. This includes funding campaigns to legalize abortion in countries where it’s currently illegal (most of them in Africa).
In June, Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland told the House of Commons that pushing abortion overseas is “at the core of Canada’s foreign policy” – not fighting poverty and disease, not projects to provide clean water and maternal care, not promoting democracy and human rights but facilitating the deaths of unborn children.
The Petition Reads:
Dear Prime Minister Trudeau,
Your government has – by its own admission – made promoting abortion and other population-control measures in Africa the centerpiece of Canada’s foreign policy instead of fighting poverty, hunger, and disease.
Your government says it is committed to spending $650 million over the next three years to promote what it euphemistically calls sexual and reproductive health rights in developing countries. This includes funding campaigns to legalize abortion in countries where it is currently illegal (most of them in Africa) and silently breaking the law when necessary to achieve that end, according to your International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau.
In June, Global Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland told the House of Commons that pushing abortion overseas is “at the core of Canada’s foreign policy” – not fighting poverty and disease, not projects to provide clean water and maternal care, not promoting democracy, but facilitating the deaths of unborn children.
According to Gwendolyn Landolt, National Vice-President of REAL Women of Canada, “the Trudeau government seems unaware of the many global genuine health care needs, including, maternal and infancy care, and that health care includes medicine, vaccination, nourishment and clean water. Instead, the government is imposing its own values on Africa, while at the same time is ignoring Canadian opinion on the matter.”
We urge you to consider the words of Bishop Emmanuel Bajedo of Oyo of Nigeria, who calls your policies “an imperialist agenda that undermines religious and cultural sensibilities and demeans the cherished African respect for the life of the unborn.”
Added Badejo: “Ultimately, it will depend on the people of Canada to help developing countries by effecting a change to a government which in any case respects the rights of other people without imposing its own agenda on them.” (Read more at https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/bishop-blasts-canadas-subtle-approach-to-funding-abortion-in-africa.)
We believe that Bishop Badejo is right and no African country should be subjected to this cultural neo-imperialism from Canadians, the post-modern values of Western culture, nor the Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger-style, hidden racist tactics of population control and abortion advocates for the purpose of reducing the number of black Africans.
Mr. Trudeau, please take immediate action to direct your foreign aid to Africa, to help address the real needs of the poor in Africa, like clean water and maternal health care. Canada should promote a culture of life in developing nations, not spread death.
