In an exclusive story from North99, Andrew Scheer and other high profile Conservatives MPs are featured speakers at an event sponsored by a high-profile anti-choice group called We Need a Law.

We Need a Law is an anti-choice activist group dedicated to “increase pressure on our government to take action to end the injustice of almost 100,000 deaths each year in Canada.”

Their site says they do this by “engaging and equipping Canadians in the political process in order to change minds, change laws, and save pre-born lives.” We Need a Law’s website includes numerous ways to pressure politicians to bring in more strict rules around access to abortion.

The photo below shows they are sponsoring the Manning Networking Conference, an event organized by the right-wing Manning Institute and attended by top Conservatives including Andrew Scheer.

In addition to Scheer, some of the Conservative Party’s highest-profile MPs are featured on the Manning Conference’s website, including:

Maxime Bernier

Candice Bergen

Michael Chong

Gérard Deltell

Garnett Genius

Stephanie Kusie

Erin O’Toole

Pierre Poilievre

Lisa Raitt

Michelle Rempel

Scheer’s opposition to a woman’s right to choose is well documented, though he shies away from discussing it. In an interview with CBC, he stated that he opposes abortion and gay rights. His voting record has also been celebrated by anti-choice groups. And recently he appointed an anti-choice MP as his Status of Women Shadow minister, a move that was criticized by both Liberal and NDP MPs.
