\u201c\u2026 no longer provide charity status to anti-abortion organizations (for example, Crisis Pregnancy Centres) that provide dishonest counseling to women about their rights and about the options available to them at all stages of the pregnancy.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nIn CCCC\u2019s view, pregnancy care centres have been unjustly targeted in this statement. These centres provide much-needed emotional and practical help to thousands of expectant women and new mothers in the form of accurate, evidence-based counselling which includes information on all options; post-abortion care; nutrition and prenatal classes; and necessities such as cribs, strollers, baby food, clothing, and more. CCCC is aware that these exemplary organizations are committed to ensuring that each woman is empowered and treated with dignity, compassion and respect, regardless of her decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf any government implements a policy that denies charitable status on the basis of pro-life view, CCCC anticipates a legal challenge,\u201d says Barry W. Bussey, CCCC\u2019s Director of Legal Affairs. \u201cAny such policy takes the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) Attestation to a serious and significant next level by excluding certain organizations from not only summer job funding, but charitable status. On the CSJ issue, we note that two of our members successfully challenged the federal government over its failure to properly administer the CSJ program. These recent decisions set a clear expectation for fairness in the provision of public services. Throughout the CSJ controversy, CCCC was outspoken in advocating for members, and we will continue those efforts on the question of charitable status.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given the ambiguity of how broadly the label \u201canti-abortion organizations\u201d might be applied, and how \u201cdishonest counseling\u201d is defined, CCCC is concerned about the charitable status of churches and other charities that hold lawful, pro-life views. Considering the measurable financial and social benefits provided by faith-based charities, this would be a profound loss to Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CCCC urges that any such policy proposals be reconsidered and revoked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
