For immediate release

EDMONTON - Jason Kenney says he’s always been consistent on his position on abortion rights, but he hasn’t provided any statement concerning Alberta’s proposed law on bubble zones around abortion clinics.

In September 2000, in an article titled “Bubble Zone Freedom,” Kenney denounced bubble zones around abortion clinics, calling them “the most gross systematic violation of any group's freedom of speech in Canada.”[1] He falsely stated patients and abortion providers are not at risk of violence, calling that “a completely groundless myth invented to justify this violation of freedom.”

Does Jason Kenney still believe bubble zones around abortion clinics are “the most gross systematic violation of any group’s freedom of speech in Canada”?
