The anti-abortion Wilberforce Project says that if the UCP wins the spring election, Alberta will have “the most pro-life legislature in decades, and maybe ever.”

The group’s February political report says its campaign to nominate anti-abortion UCP candidates has been extremely successful — but those candidates can’t be allowed to backslide.

“The nominations have gone very well for the pro-life movement,” says the note over the name of Cameron Wilson, director of political action.

“However, as always, we now need to keep the candidates who won their nominations accountable and on track to enacting pro-life policy should they win in the general election.

“The Wilberforce Project is now pivoting our efforts from getting pro-lifers nominated to getting nominated pro-lifers elected.”
