Should Canada revoke charitable tax status for anti-abortion organizations?

According to a study by the Angus Reid Institute, Canadians are divided on whether or not the federal government should revoke the charitable tax status of anti-abortion organizations in Canada.

38% of Canadians say the Trudeau government should revoke charitable tax status for anti-abortion organizations, while 35% say they should not.

“In 2021, the Liberal Party ran on an election promise to revoke charitable tax status for anti-abortion organizations that provide ‘dishonest counselling to women about their rights and about the options available to them at all stages of the pregnancy.’”

Bloq Québécois (65%) voters were those most likely to support the policy, while Conservative Party of Canada (18%) supporters were the least.

The same study also found that 57% of Canadians want the justice minister to introduce legislation to guarantee access to abortion nationwide.
