Calgary, Alberta is going after the ghouls who claim to be pro-lifers.

An amendment to a bylaw could see more rules placed on groups that mail out flyers containing images of fetuses to Calgary homes.

A meeting of the City of Calgary’s community development committee voted unanimously on Thursday to send the proposed bylaw to council next month.

The bylaw amendment - called Regulating the Unsolicited Distribution of Graphic Images Depicting a Fetus - would modify Calgary’s Community Standards Bylaw to regulate any organization that uses graphic images of fetuses on their flyers.

The amendment “would require that flyers showing graphic images of fetuses be concealed in an opaque envelope bearing a graphic content warning and the name and address of the sender with a $1,000 specified penalty for not meeting every requirement,” the city document reads.

The document went on to say that such flyers “have caused harm to some recipients and can be deeply traumatizing for young children and those who have experienced pregnancy loss, among others.”

The bylaw wouldn’t prevent the flyers being sent out, but instead “establish rules for their delivery.”

It would only apply to flyers being distributed to property owners, according to the city.

“A person handing out flyers on a public sidewalk or roadway will not be subject to the restrictions in the proposed bylaw amendments,” the bylaw reads.

In the meantime, Alberta’s premier is still a moran.

Premier Danielle Smith’s comments at a central Alberta conference last week are raising eyebrows after she referenced thoughts she had about “freedoms” residents in Florida and South Dakota are enjoying.

According to an online report from Fort Saskatchewan, the premier was meeting with Morinville-St. Albert MLA Dale Nally and Albertans in the town of Gibbons on April 11.

During the question and answer period afterwards, Smith made comparisons between Canadian and American politics and suggested she wanted to see freedoms that some U.S. states enjoy applied here.
