OTTAWA — Focusing on legislation that promotes adoption would do “greater good” to help pregnant women than restricting access to abortion, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says in a new letter.

His office outlined the leader’s position in correspondence sent to an anti-abortion supporter, who wrote the leader in early September calling on him to ban the procedure, suggesting Poilievre has changed his stance from being a “pro-lifer” over his 20 year career as a member of Parliament.
