The Catholic Organization for Life and Family (COLF) would like to commend Mr. Rod Bruinooge, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South, for introducing Bill C-510, an Act to Prevent Coercion of Pregnant Women to Abort (Roxanne’s Law), on April 15, 2010.

Bill C-510 aims at guaranteeing respect for the integrity and dignity of pregnant women, by protecting their physical and psychological well-being. In a nation that values motherhood, laws should in every way possible defend the right of women to bring their children to term safely. Pregnant women facing coercion to abort and fearing for their safety should also, and in all regions, have access to social services providing a safe haven and support.

COLF encourages all Canadian citizens to contact their Members of Parliament to ask them to support Bill C-510.
