Mr. Speaker, Canada is one of the best nations in the world for getting abortions, yet Canada is founded on Judeo Christian principles. Our Constitution: “Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God.” Judeo-Christian principles recognize that men and women are children of God, each having a divine nature and destiny. They affirm the family as ordained of God and that children are a blessing. This is the opposite of Canada’s failure to do nothing about abortion, in particular late-term abortions. Many Albertans do not want a society that is best at late-term abortions, and many of these Albertans feel that they are ignored on this matter sacred to them. But Alberta has a Citizen Initiative Act, and most Albertans, regardless of faith or background, agree that it is reasonable to have some limits on late-term abortions. That is the case in most democratic jurisdictions.
The threshold to have a referendum about late-term abortion is about 178,000 Albertans. What is the best antidote to abortion? More truth, Mr. Speaker. Referendums provide opportunities for more truth, to share facts in the public square, allowing Albertans to judge for themselves. Seeing things as they really are will result in less abortion not by force of law but by the exercise of moral agency informed by truth. It will be good for Albertans to have a referendum with honest conversations on late-term abortion, speaking the truth in love as each best understands it, with respect to all.

I've heard Sex Ed is helpful too, hopefully the UCP is consistent in giving all members of society "Truth". Wait..
