A Canadian abortion activist organization, which has received over $12M in grants from the Trudeau Liberal government over the past two years (
here and
here), has been caught spreading misinformation about abortion on its website.
Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, a top Canadian pro-abortion organization — which also goes by the name Planned Parenthood Canada —
falsely claims on its website that the latest an abortion can be committed in Canada is at 23 weeks and 6 days gestation.
“No providers in Canada offer abortion care beyond 23 weeks and 6 days. When they are beyond 23 weeks and 6 days, many Canadians end up having to travel to the United States to access services with little guidance or support from their governments,” Action Canada’s website states.
This claim leads visitors to the website to believe that late-term abortions of preborn children, who could survive outside of their mothers’ wombs, do not exist in Canada. This misinformation, unfortunately, has not remained confined to the pro-abortion website. It has also been disseminated by media outlets that have uncritically used this misinformation in reports without first checking the facts. For instance, a
report from CTV earlier this year outlining the legal status of abortion in Canada not only quoted Action Canada’s misinformation but linked to it as well.
The truth is that late-term abortions do happen in Canada and they happen regularly.

“Why aren’t Canadian media outlets checking their facts, holding Action Canada to account for spreading misinformation about abortion? What else may Action Canada be lying about? And worse still, why is Mr. Trudeau awarding millions of dollars to an organization that spreads such misinformation which can be potentially dangerous for public policy decision-making?”
“I call upon Prime Minister Trudeau and the Minister of Health, Jean-Yves Duclos, to immediately stop funding this organization, and others like it, that peddle misinformation about abortion,” he said.
Gunnarson said that Action Canada needs to be held accountable for its misinformation that masks the genocide committed against human children in Canada who are yet to be born.
“Action Canada cannot be trusted to tell the truth when it comes to abortion. It should not be the recipient of a single dollar of government funding,” he said.
