sophiegregoiretrudeau: Are you ready to ignite change? This week, as we mark International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the boys and men in our lives who encourage us to be who we truly are, who treat girls & women with respect, and who aren’t afraid to speak up in front of others. Take a picture holding hands with your male ally & share it on social media using the hashtag #TomorrowInHand. Together, we can create a movement that inspires more men to join the fight to build a better tomorrow with equal rights & opportunities for everyone… because #EqualityMatters.Equality for everyone, that is, other than for helpless aborted babies.
“…But in an open letter to Trudeau released Friday, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) pointed to a government media background document. It stated that “a major part of the funding will be toward removing ‘judicial and legal barriers to the fulfilment of sexual and reproductive health and rights’.”
“The bishops also cited a March 8, 17 Globe and Mail article reporting a federal official had confirmed “these barriers include the anti-abortion laws in many countries.” “Such a policy is a reprehensible example of Western cultural imperialism and an attempt to impose misplaced but so-called Canadian ‘values’ on other nations and people,” wrote the bishops. “It exploits women when they are most in need of care and support, and tragically subverts true prenatal health care,” read the letter signed by CCCB president Bishop John Crosby of Hamilton. “It negates our country’s laudable efforts to welcome refugees and offer protection to the world's homeless, when the youngest of human lives will instead be exterminated and the most vulnerable of human beings discarded as unwanted human tissue,” the bishops wrote. “The bishops concluded their letter by telling Trudeau: “Your policy and vision, contrary to the fundamental ethic of protecting the most vulnerable and assisting the weakest, are in conflict with the principles instinctively shared by the majority of the world's population and consistently upheld by the Catholic Church: to defend and protect human life from conception to natural death.” “Campaign Life Coalition vice president Jeff Gunnarson lauded the forceful statement. “The bishops have courageously exposed Trudeau’s so-called feminism for what it really is: an exploitation of the world’s most vulnerable women,” Gunnarson said. “They also implicitly reveal Trudeau’s arrogance by rebuking his ‘Western cultural imperialism’,” he added. “Trudeau is convinced he knows what’s best for women around the world, and so he doesn’t even bother to ask women in developing countries what they need and want,” Gunnarson said. “He’s using Canadian tax dollars to underwrite a global culture of death.”No Selfie can ever hide the fact that Prime Minister Trudeau, a Catholic, sent $650 million Canadian tax dollars to foreign countries “to increase global access to abortion”. Meanwhile, some women mark International Women’s day by going on the march and wearing red. Some women stay back sending out attention-grabbing Instagrams that are really at heart, distractions to cover the backs of self-admitted “feminist” husbands like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
