"Mrs. Wateel did not respond to CLC's 2021 election survey. However, she told a pro-life voter via email that she "would be agreeable to opening up the discussion on abortion". This is insufficient for a green light rating, but shows that she is educable on the issue."

No response to CLC's 2021 federal election questionnaire.

However, in communications with a constituent, Ms. Clemenhagen's Campaign Office Manager stated clearly on her behalf that Clemenhagen is "pro-choice", which is a well-known euphemism for supporting abortion (see Quotes tab).

Naqvi is a radical pro-abortion, anti-family activist. Prior to entering federal politics, he was an Ontario provincial member of parliament for Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal government where he degraded the laws and moral climate of the province in his capacity Attorney General. There, Naqvi took radical pro-abortion actions including championing new legislation to ban pro-life speech on all public property near abortion facilities.

On October 4, 2017, he introduced government legislation to transform public sidewalks into “No Free Speech Zones”. His unconstitutional bill, which passed, criminalized pro-life expression within a radius of up to 150 metres of all abortion facilities, as well as pharmacies that dispense abortion drugs. The new law violated the Charter-protected rights of freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly, meaning that pro-life sidewalk counselling would become a criminal act, as would silently praying on the public sidewalk with a pro-life sign. The bubble zone law would have the additional adverse effect of denying women in crisis pregnancies the right to know about non-abortion alternatives and support programs.

Furthermore, Naqvi has been a rabid support of the LBGT agenda and Transgender ideology. As reported on March 31, 2015 in the Toronto Star, Yasir opposed common sense amendments to the Ontario NDP’s transsexual Bathroom Bill, which were designed to protect little girls and women from bathroom attacks by male sexual predators who may pretend to have an inner sense of being a woman, so as to get in close quarters with female victims.

In 2013, he voted in favour of Bill 13 which destroyed parental rights & religious freedom in Ontario schools. The tyrannical legislation forced Catholic schools to violate their religious beliefs by accepting student-led, homosexual-activist clubs, something which totally undermines Catholic moral teaching. The legislation also made it mandatory for all schools to accept the dangerous philosophical ideology of "Gender Identity", which teaches children that their being male or female has nothing to do with their biological reality, and is merely a "social construct"
