Conservative media has attempted to portray the notion of women as autonomous human beings as “radical”.
The recently decimated Liberal Party is stirring back to life with the election of a new Leader. Justin Trudeau has decreed that his MP’s will vote pro-choice, no exceptions.
The woolly anti-choicers that still remain within the party, or loosely affiliated, have recently penned an open letter to Mr.Trudeau about his policy.
“How can such a discriminatory policy serve the democratic ideals of our great nation?” wrote the ex-MPs, many of whom are known for being outspoken on socially conservative issues.
Actually it’s quite easy – your moral conscience is wrong – and since abortion is a settled issue in Canada the Liberal Party of Canada won’t support any fooling around the rights of women and their autonomy.
“Trudeau tweeted his apparent response late Thursday.
The days when old men get to decide what a woman does with her body are long gone. Times have changed for the better. #LPC defends rights.
— @JustinTrudeau”
Times have definitely changed for the better . I’m scoring one for Trudeau on this issue.

Trudeau has a good stance on this issue. His star power will help the Liberals put a good run together, I just hope that if they take power, they will be able to get the rest of their act together. My vote is currently residing with the NDP, Mulclair seems to have the best grasp on things overall, and we really need that after the very troublesome Conservative government we’ve been stuck with.

Well if you consult the conservative half of the media in Canada, I’m looking at you SUN media and National Post, then indeed he is the great-satan in a suit denying men their right to vote away women’s rights. It is down right revolting situation.

You’re not alone. We have an Abbott in Australia espousing the wonders of a 1950’s Catholic worldview (also a climate change denier), and a Presidential candidate here in Brazil said in a national debate last week that gays should be cast out of the country. The worse part of that: none of the other candidates called him on it.
The stupid truly does burn.

It is good to know that it isn’t just here in Canada we have to deal with teh tomfoolzery.
When the planet is approaching Venus like temperatures I would AGW deniers to tell me more about jobs and prosperity and maybe throw in some earth wobble, sun-spot and solar storm helpful hints too… :/
