OTTAWA, October 7, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) — Liberal leader Justin Trudeau confirmed in his newly released election platform that his party, if voted in, will reverse the current Conservative ban on funding abortion in developing countries.

“The fact that reproductive rights and health care, which translates to abortion, contraception, sterilization etc., is the only example of foreign aid provided under the section of ‘helping the world’s poor’ is very telling of Trudeau’s misplaced priorities,” he said, adding that eradicating poverty in Africa will not be accomplished by “financially supporting the killing of future generations of Africans before they are even bor
