Based on official party policy statement issued June 11, 2014 declaring support for abortion and forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for elective abortions. This written policy was emailed to CLC by the Green Party of Ontario’s Policy Coordinator, Jessica Higgins. It's also notable that the Green party leader is a fierce opponent of Catholic moral teaching in Catholic schools and strongly supports the homosexual pride parade, an event which breaks the law each year by featuring naked men and mock sex acts through the streets of Toronto.
