Three Tory MPs ask RCMP to investigate some abortions as homicides
Three Conservative MPs want the RCMP to investigate any abortions performed after 19 weeks in Canada as possible homicides.
The MPs from Saskatchewan, Alberta and Ontario make the request in a letter on House of Commons letterhead to RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson.
In the letter, the MPs say abortions performed at 20 weeks gestation or later breach Section 223a of the Criminal Code.
The MPs say the killing of Canadian children may continue to grow if they are not thoroughly investigated by police.
The letter is signed by MPs Maurice Vellacott of Saskatoon-Wanuskwein, Leon Benoit (ben-WAH) of Vegreville-Wainwright and Wladyslaw (WAHD-is-LAW) Lizon (lee-zahn) of Mississauga East-Cooksville.
Rona (RAW-nah) Ambrose, minister for the status of women, told the Commons Monday that Canadians don’t want to revisit the abortion debate.
