According to the latest available data 76% of Albertans support the defunding of abortion with the exception of those abortions performed in the cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is in grave and present danger as a result of the physical impact of the pregnancy.

A strong public healthcare system requires ever more prudent fiscal responsibility. We urge the government to only fund procedures that are justifiably deemed medically necessary.

We support conscience rights for taxpayers. Medical procedures that are not widely supported by the public should not be publicly funded. Through this petition we express our sincerest desire as citizens and participants in governance that abortion be defunded in the province of Alberta.
