Speaking to reporters Friday morning in St. Catherines, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said a woman’s right to choose was established in Canada long ago, and he has no interest in resurrecting it.
That policy, he said, was adopted by party members in 2004 and upheld at subsequent party conventions.
“There will be no laws or other restrictions imposed on a woman’s right to decide to do with her body as she wishes, and this is something that I’m guaranteeing for you and all Canadians.”
That policy, Poilievre said, will be reiterated in his party’s 2025 election platform.
