Here are all the anti-abortion MPs in Canada

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/abor...n-pro-life-mps

just last year 70% of the CPC MP's were listed as persons who don't like a woman having autonomy over their body, including Poilievre.
70% seems very high, even with some of the nutters they have.

The article seems to put anyone into that group that did any of the following:

ARCC’s basis for rendering certain MPs anti-choice was based on whether the MP did any of the following things:

-Voted in favour of an anti-choice bill or motion
-Opposed the Order of Canada for Dr. Henry Morgentaler in 2008
-Made public anti-choice or “pro-life” statements
-Participated publicly in anti-choice events or campaigns
-Rated as “pro-life” (green) by Campaign Life Coalition
As it turns out, 71.5% of Conservative MPs and 3.2% of Liberal MPs are against abortion stance. The stance of 17.5% of Canadian MPs is unknown or indeterminate.

Is that an appropriate way of coming up with 70%?
I'd have to dig deeper into these various points and if the AARC was trying to exaggerate the numbers but it seems high to me.
Sad if true.
