Canada’s House of Commons voted down a Private Member’s Bill from Saskatchewan Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall that aimed to strengthen protections for vulnerable pregnant women – amid progressives falsely claiming the bill was anti-abortion.

Bill C-311, titled ​​the Violence Against Pregnant Women Act, had nothing to do with abortion.

The bill would have amended the Criminal Code of Canada and added abusing and causing physical or emotional harm to a pregnant woman to the list of “aggravating circumstances” during the sentencing process.
