When asked whether she supports Andrew Scheer's position on abortion, she expressed her personal support for the abortion status quo wherein more than 100,000 babies per year are slaughtered in their mother's womb:  "A Conservative government will oppose any attempt to reopen this debate and I support that position. Mr. Scheer will encourage all Conservative MPs to focus on issues that unite Canadians.
