VICTORIA, BC, April 2, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Dr. Konia Trouton, a prominent Canadian physician who sits on the executive of the BC College of Family Physicians, has revealed herself to be an abortionist.  In a communiqué sent to British Columbia doctors March 5, Trouton advertised herself as providing “Medical Abortions available as of March 24 2003 in Victoria.” By ‘medical’ abortions, Trouton refers to chemical abortion with the use of methotrexate – an abortifacient drug..  Trouton, who is an honorary co-chair of the David Suzuki Foundation and worked as director of population health for Nunavut, was employed by Health Canada in the Bureau of Reproductive and Child Health where she succeeded in including abortion in the definition of ‘perinatal’.  She authored the Canadian Perinatal Surveillance System abortion fact sheet for Health Canada. Trouton is a past president of Physicians for Global Survival, a non-governmental organization through which she has lobbied at the United Nations.  In her communiqué to doctors she boasts of her experience with abortion saying: “I have been doing surgical abortions for 11 years in B.C., Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick. I have most recently been working in Vancouver, and providing medical abortions there with Dr. Ellen Wiebe for over 2 years.”  In an interview with the Pearson College alumni magazine, Pearson Connections, Trouton described herself “coming out as a lesbian” during medical school.
