"Soudas also says the Harper government has no plans to re-open the debate on abortion." - The Canadian PressAnd in an interview with Peter Mansbridge, Harper said something to the effect that he's spent his whole time in office avoiding the abortion issue.
Now, there's the distinct possibility that the Conservatives feel that they can dismantle access to abortion by denying funding and destroying the health care system, because that just fits into their ideological plans anyway. Not to mention trying to do things behind the backs of the people and the other parties, in a very underhanded manner. They seem to have no plans to do the will of the people, only plans to do what they want however they can get it. I haven't seen such a dishonest political party since, well, since the Conservatives were in power in Saskatchewan in the 1980s. A whole bunch of them were convicted of criminal behaviour, it turned out. Anyway, I digress...
I just thought this was a good quote to point out to all the single issue voters out there who think that the wonderful pro-life Conservatives are going to re-establish a Canada without abortion. They don't plan on opening the debate. Remember that. If you think that ignoring democracy to get their way is fine, remember that when they do the same thing to something you hold dear.
