Bill
Bill C-311, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (violence against pregnant women)
Vote
Nay.
Rationale
Our government condemns all forms of violence against women, but this Bill could be used as a stepping stone toward opening the abortion debate in Canada, which I am firmly against. The Bill also has errors that make it ineffective in addressing its stated purpose and would actually reduce the legal tools available to pregnant individuals who are assaulted.
Failed.
