Other countries will use this to justify doing the same.

Bill 9 is unscientific and immoral. It does nothing to protect children. It is only designed to hurt them by denying doctor supported life saving care.

"Whether Alberta follows the full arc of the Trump example remains to be seen. But today’s legislation makes clear that the risk is no longer hypothetical. It is real, present and growing. And the further it progresses, the harder it will be for concerned Albertans to stop it."
