Bill C-510, An Act to Prevent Coercion of Pregnant Women to Abortion, also known as Roxanne’s Law, was deemed by The Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs as not designated as non-votable on October 19^th. This passing of this very important stage means that the bill, which will criminalize the act of coercing or attempting to coerce a woman into having an unwanted abortion, will proceed to its first scheduled hour of debate at Second Reading on Monday, November 1^st. This powerful, pro-woman and pro-life bill is named in honour of Roxanne Fernando, who was violently killed by her boyfriend after refusing to abort their child. C-510 was introduced by Winnipeg MP Rod Bruinooge. Mr. Bruinooge said the bill would only make it a crime to “coerce or attempt to coerce” a woman to have an abortion against her will. The Prime Minister’s Office was quick, however, to squelch any thought they would support C-510. “The government will not support the bill,” Harper spokesman Andrew MacDougall said in an interview. “Our Conservative government will not initiate or support any legislation that opens the abortion debate.” Because of the importance of this bill, 4 MY CANADA, a Christian Evangelical organization, is calling upon all Christians to stand united during two days of prayer and fasting (Sunday and Monday) to plead God's divine favour on MP Rod Bruinooge and the debate that is taking place in the House of Commons on Monday, November 1st. Below is a video that was aired on 100 Huntley Street, a Christian TV talk show, which explains the issues at stake, featuring interviews with MP Rodney Bruinooge and the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC).
