An Alberta anti-abortion group is encouraging its members to get involved in the United Conservative Party’s policy development process and candidate nominations to ensure the fledgling party adopts “good pro-life policies.”

The Wilberforce Project — formerly Alberta Pro-Life — posted a video on its Facebook page last week asking individuals to respond to a survey of UCP members on policy development and take part in the regional policy meetings that will culminate in the party’s founding annual general meeting in May.

Cameron Wilson, the political director for the Wilberforce Project, said in the video that the group will also be making its own policy submissions under the UCP process, which allows for a group of 10 party members to put forward policy proposals.

Wilson said having a say in the new party’s policy is important.

“When the time comes for the UCP to govern this province, UCP MLAs will have things to point to in their policy manual to enact as government as good pro-life legislation,” he said.
