5 TROST, TORIES AND ABORTION The Globe And Mail has a good piece on why the (should be non-)issue of a woman’s right to choose what to do with her body is a problem for the Conservatives:
The Reform roots of the Conservative Party were nourished by social conservatives who believe Canada had drifted dangerously far from its Christian cultural roots, who oppose abortion and same-sex marriage, who want government to take a tougher stance on crime while protecting a gun owner’s rights.
As prime minister, Mr. Harper has enacted a tough-on-crime agenda and fought to scrap the long-gun registry while avoiding more vexed questions of abortion and gay marriage.
More here. It’s a good read. Also, here’s an article about how Trost stands by his lunatic statements. So sad when integrity, honesty and consistency are wedded to shitty, awful, superstition-based medieval ideas.
6 OH, AND BRAD WALL SAYS HE’S PRO-LIFE BUT ABORTION STILL STAYS FUNDED AND STUFF Actually, I think this makes Brad Wall pro-choice but personally opposed to abortion, which is cool. This is how you should behave, pro-life people. Follow the premier’s example and snippy alt newspapers won’t call you out for being psycho-dickwad religious kooks. Thenkew.
