Same for any other pro-lifer: Canada is pro-choice: deal with it. We will be damned if we’re set back by 40+ years to suit your sick fetish for a clump of cells. What’s gotten Jojo’s knickers in a bunch is that Steve has publicly decided vote against Rod Bruinooge’s private members’ bill C-510. Publicly, being the key word here; who knows how he’ll really vote, right? Regardless, it appears that none of the leaders are going to whip their MPs on this vote.
This has gotten Jojo and her friends all aglow with hope that the three Liberal fetus fetish loose cannons like Paul Szabo, John McKay and Dan MacTeague who will no doubt vote for c-510. Jojo, do you honestly think that the three so-called Liberal stooges are going to save the day? Don’t forget, Steve says he isn’t whipping his MPs into voting for this private members’ bill and if he is true to his word, there are pro-choice Harpercons who will join their boss in voting against it as well. I realize the majority of Harpercons are pro-lifers, but I think Pro-choice Harpercons outnumber the 3 ‘Liberal’ stooges.
Furthermore, even if Jack and Gilles don’t whip their MPs, something tells me they will all vote against the bill. The chances of the success of this bill passing are very slim and I think I’m being generous, if for no other reason than for Steve and his Harpercon’s desperation to discredit Marci McDonald’s book about the growing influence of the religious right.
As mentioned above, I will be damned if the likes of you take us back more than 50 years, back to the days of knitting needles, wire hangers and flop houses in dark alleys where gangsters won’t stroll alone. So dear, do get over your fetus fetish.
Or is Jojo actually making that whole Liberal socon thing up so that her real hero, Steve gets his totalitarian regime? Nah, she ain’t smart enough.
Three? There’s a lot more than three of them, kiddo. There’s about 27 anti-abortion freaks in the LPC. This thing could still pass if half the CPC votes for it — unlikely given Harper’s stand, but still.

I stand corrected; that lifeshit site only displayed the 3 stooges.
Hi ck.
To be exactly precise, it turns out there are 19 of them, which is (amazingly) 25% of the LPC caucus. There were 26 before the last election.
This list of MPs from the Abortion Rights Coalition is a handy-dandy guide as to who in government opposes our rights.
