RightNow congratulates new pro-life Conservative Party of Canada leader Andrew Scheer

TORONTO, ON (May 27, 2017) – Political pro-life organization RightNow congratulated Andrew Scheer on becoming the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada after a hard-fought battle with several other candidates looking to fill this coveted position.

“Andrew has always been a strong pro-life candidate that has defended the rights of members of parliament to freely vote on these issues as well as bring them up in parliament,” said Alissa Golob, co-founder of RightNow, a non-profit organization committed to nominating and electing pro-life candidates.

RightNow sold thousands of memberships throughout the leadership campaign, encouraging pro-life voters to fully rank their ballot with all 10 candidates. Rankings were based off three criteria; pro-life voting record, winnability and policies and positions moving forward that were based on an interview with the candidate conducted by the organization.

“We are happy that we now have a leader that supports common-sense policies such as Cassie and Molly’s law and promoting maternal and child health overseas instead of abortion,” said Golob.

Scheer told RightNow that he was pleased the Harper government did not fund abortion with their maternal and child health strategy and that it was important for a Prime Minister to respect the right of individual MP’s to speak out and introduce matters that are important to them.

“Andrew is a leader we are excited to work with because of his voting record, positive pro-life policies and his goal to unite the party and accept that social conservatives need to be part of the conversation," said Scott Hayward, co-founder of RightNow.

We have animal rights why not baby rights. An unprotected life without a voice that can not be heard is what we have now unlike animals that have people to speak for them. There are 2 humans involved in pregnancy mother and baby.

There should be a law for abortion, save life and give a child a change to live.

Scheer has gone on public record refusing to open the door to any discussion on abortion. Unlike Bernier, who has called killing the preborn “infanticide” ALthough social issues aren’t on the 1st platform candidates Luara=Lynn Thompson and Paul Mitchell held a press release inviting all candidates from any party to sign the pledge agreeing to support a late-term abortion ban. Not much more can be done now. So PLEASE support your PPC candidate, such as myself Barbara Nichols in door-knocking, donations, etc. It isn’t too late.

Perhaps this letter should be taken down, this was in the October 2018 issue of Campaign Life Coalition Canada

It certainly did not help that Conservative Party leader Andrew Scheer
told several media outlets during the convention and sent a memo
to MPs just before the vote that he would not re-open the abortion
debate, even if delegates voted to delete Article 65 of the policy book.
That signaled to many delegates that it would have been frivolous,
and maybe even divisive, to pass Delete 65. Scheer’s actions probably
intimidated enough delegates and MPs to cause its defeat. It is a trage-
dy that some ‘pro-life’ MPs got behind Scheer who adamantly refuses
to open the abortion debate, despite the killing of more than 4 mil-
lion Canadian children by surgical abortion (and heaven knows how
many by chemical abortion), since it became legal to do so in 1969
