Nova Scotia considers abortion facility ‘bubble zone’ law to restrict pro-life speech
“In Canada, the government of Nova Scotia is considering legislation that would create so-called ‘bubble zones’ to prohibit pro-life activities outside abortion facilities. The proposed bill was introduced on Tuesday by National Democratic Party (NDP) legislator Claudia Chender. It passed second reading on Wednesday after nearly 40 minutes of debate.
. . .
The debate Wednesday included personal testimony by some of the legislators. Chender shared a story about her grandmother, who survived the Holocaust, but then chose to abort her child when she became pregnant after the war because she did not feel capable of being a mother. What Chender neglected to note is that today, more than half a century later, society is much more well-equipped to help mothers who experience unplanned pregnancies, with pro-lifers offering support, monetary resources, and housing for mothers in crisis, along with options to place children for adoption if women feel they cannot parent.
Chender further elaborated on her family’s connection to abortion, by stating that her mother had joined the board of a former Planned Parenthood facility, and that her sister had used the services of the same facility.
