An Ottawa-based anti-abortion group is encouraging its members to pursue United Conservative Party internships and learn how to “advance pro-life legislation provincially in Alberta.”

“We have two paid political internship opportunities for young pro-lifers and three for those from Alberta!” RightNow wrote in an email to members Monday.

The UCP is offering internships this summer to post-secondary students and recent graduates. The program is run by caucus and interns will be paid out of its budget.

RightNow co-founder Scott Hayward said the UCP internships were some of the few to come across his radar, but his group doesn’t have ownership over the program.

“It’s just that we have identified these opportunities for pro-lifers who are interested in politics to go and hone their skills,” he said.

“We encourage pro-lifers to apply for political internships across the country … where we know that they will be able to apply and be received into the programs.”
