History
Founded in 1978, The Campaign Life Coalition is a Canadian non-partisan political lobbyist organization. Based in Toronto, the organization advocates for socially conservative values. In addition to its initial goals of opposing abortion and euthanasia, the Campaign Life Coalition advocates for traditional family values, including opposition to same-sex marriage.
According to the about page, “Campaign Life Coalition is a national pro-life organization working at all levels of government to secure full legal protection for all human beings, from the time of conception to natural death. We defend the sanctity of human life against threats posed by abortion, euthanasia, doctor-assisted suicide, reproductive and genetic technologies, cloning, infanticide, eugenics, population control, and threats to the family.” The national President is Jeff Gunnarson.
In 1997, they founded the LifeSiteNews website, which we rate Right Biased and Mixed for factual reporting.

Analysis / Bias
In review, The Campaign Life Coalition promotes news and information primarily aimed at a pro-life audience. They provide information on alternatives to abortion and explicit photos to discourage abortion. They provide a blog that frequently promotes a pro-life agenda such as THIS US ELECTION MUST BE ABOUT ABORTION. This article is unsourced.
Editorially, they support conservatives such as Derrick Sloan in 2020, who opposes abortion. They generally report news in a one-issue conservative fashion and without credible sourcing.
