Candidate, Rochelle Squires
Progressive Conservative Party | Riel, MB
CLC rating: Pro-abortion, but supports parental rights
Light Rating
Unfortunately, MLA Squires has been very supportive of the provincial funding of the abortion drug RU-486/Mifegymiso and actually made the funding announcement in 2019 in her role as Minister for Status of Women, as if it was something to be proud of. She called this government funding of pre-natal homicide "cost-effective for women to stay in their own community to access reproductive health services." (see Quotes tab)

| Bill 207, 2nd reading, to create No Free Speech "BUFFER ZONES" on public property This blatantly pro-abortion, private member's bill, introduced by NDP MLA Nahanni Fontaine, was a more extreme sequel to her failed 2018 bill that sought to outlaw peaceful, pro-life expression on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within a radious of up to 150 metres around all of Manitoba's abortion mills. In her 2021 version, MLA Fontaine included trying to ban peaceful, pro-life witness even around schools. Fortunately, this unconstitutional and totalitarian bill was defeated at 2nd Reading by a vote of 30 Nays over 20 Yeas on Oct. 14, 2021. |
