(Life Site News. Pierre Poilievre).
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre vowed never to oppose abortion or homosexual “marriage” after a Conservative member of parliament (MP) voiced pro-life and pro-family views. In a May 31 episode of Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith’s podcast, Conservative MP Arnold Viersen declared that he would support legislation to protect the unborn from abortion and that he opposes same-sex “marriage.” “We are the only country in the world with no pre-born protective rights,” Viersen noted, adding that he is “happy to wear the social conservative banner. I’m 100 percent pro-life.” “We want our country to be in a position where nobody needs to have an abortion. We have solid families that want to have children – that’s a pipe dream for sure, we live in a fallen world, but that is the dream and the hope,” he continued. “We want the humanity of the pre-born to be recognized,” he explained.
