ed Conservative Party MLA Jason Stephan spoke in the Alberta legislature on

“Many Albertans do not want a society that is best at late-term abortions, and many of these Albertans feel that they are ignored on this matter sacred to them,” Stephan said.

“But Alberta has a Citizen Initiative Act, and most Albertans, regardless of faith or background, agree that it is reasonable to have some limits on late-term abortions. That is the case in most democratic jurisdictions.”

Stephan said that Canada is founded on “principles that recognize the supremacy of God.”

“Judeo-Christian principles recognize that men and women are children of God, each having a divine nature and destiny,” he said.

“They affirm the family as ordained of God and that children are a blessing. This is the opposite of Canada’s failure to do nothing about abortion, in particular late-term abortions.”

In Alberta, the Citizen Initiative Act allows the people, should they get 178,000 verified signatures, to call for a referendum, which Stephan said would allow “Albertans to judge for themselves” on the issue of late-term abortion.

“Seeing things as they really are will result in less abortion not by force of law but by the exercise of moral agency informed by truth,” he said

“It will be good for Albertans to have a referendum with honest conversations on late-term abortion, speaking the truth in love as each best understands it, with respect to all. Thank you.”
