The Christian Heritage Party has firm platform positions on issues of interest to all Canadians. Within this platform there are four non-negotiable life and family principles that uniquely identifies the CHP as unapologetically pro-life. The following actions can never be legitimately performed under any circumstance and no candidate of any party should ever support them.
Abortion
Abortion or the intentional and direct killing of unborn human beings is murder. Unborn children are individual persons from the moment of conception, a definable point in time that can be visualized as a flash of light called the zinc spark. No law may permit taking the life of an unborn child even if conceived through rape or incest. The child so conceived is innocent and can never be the recipient of a death penalty applied as remedy to absolve another’s sin. Respecting the life and dignity of unborn children also extends to repudiating in-vitro fertilization (IVF), embryonic stem cell research and cloning. Let's make abortion obsolete by:
- Expanding pregnancy care centres for expectant mothers,
- Increasing outreach and support for fathers,
- Providing greater tax incentives and financial bonuses for mothers and fathers raising children, and
- Improving access to adoption and foster care services for mothers and fathers who are unable or unwilling to care for their children.
Euthanasia
Euthanasia is another form of homicide. No one has the right to take their own life or assist in the suicide of another. “Mercy killing” is not compassion as no good can come from an intrinsically evil act. We are instead called to support through hospice and palliative care the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the dying.
Homosexual "Marriage"
Recognizing homosexual unions as “marriage” is objectively immoral. It severs the unitive relationship from the procreative act and in so doing undermines the family as the foundational building block of society. Sexual relations are legitimized within marriage defined as the legally recognized union between one man and one woman, husband and wife.
Sex Reassignment
Gender dysphoria is the condition whereby a person wishes or considers him or herself to be the opposite sex. Sex is genetically assigned at conception. The gender a person desires or expresses cannot change chromosomes. While acknowledging that rare disorders of sex development may result in both male and female anatomical features this does not change whether one is born a boy or a girl. People must be helped to discover their true identities as children of God and not be misled by ideologies that deceptively promote sex reassignment as conversion therapy for gender dysphoria.
Other parties profess virtuous leadership on lesser issues but neglect to uphold these intrinsic moral values. By contrast, every CHP candidate undergoes a strict integrity test and signs a statement of principles that attest to their formation as Christians worthy of your vote. When given the choice of a CHP candidate on the ballot there are NO other options whereby you can exercise your right to vote in accordance with a well-formed moral conscience.
