Boys ‘n’ girls, it seems that that abortion debate is going to be reopened, whether we want it to or not. Yikes! Even certain “progressive” bloggers seem to be taking a shine to it. This one seems to not like it when a reporter is doing his/her job when questioning ol’ Woody-Worthless. Oh, and get this, boys ‘n’ girls, he actually thinks that Wanksworth is being non-partisan and rational.
That one seems to argue as if third trimester abortions happen on a daily basis across Canada. Furthermore, he also talks of the rights of the “unborn”. I’ll get back to that later. So disappointing to see some on the “progressive” side that have swallowed Wanksworth’s kool-aid.
Bill C-312, that nasty little bill that ol’ Steve Wanksworthless is trying to shove, will indeed set a dangerous precedent. The road backwards. If this bill passes, there will be no stopping these fetus fetishists in government to start passing all kinds of hideous bills to recriminalize abortion. One only has to look to the US to see what is happening there. Dr. Dawg has brought us some scary happenings over there. I wonder how many Americans thought what happened to those women as of late or those draconian bills many states have been passing would never, ever happen? How many called those who warned of bills attempting to circumvent Roe v Wade were patronized and told they were basically crazy?
As it’s been awhile since I had a functional computer and that I haven’t blogged about dear ol’ Wanksworth, I will bring up a few different thoughts on the subject.
Here are some of my thoughts:
1. Even though ol’ Stevie Spiteful says he’ll never ever reopen the abortion debate, he failed to mention that he wouldn’t allow his puppets to do so. Let’s remember that Stevie’s merry band of thugs don’t even have a bowel movement without his say so. As such, Wankworth would never have gotten away with tabling his little bill. The very fact it is going to a parliamentary committee for debate is evident enough.
2. For you people whining ‘but…but…what about the rights and protections of the unborn?’ To which I say, what about the rights and protections of actual bonafide children? So many children who are abused, neglected, and living a life of hell, basically. How many of you fetus fetishists care about them? More to the point, what are doing for them? How much are you really fighting for them? As much as those fetuses you all seem to love? Probably not so much. Like the late George Carlin said, “ If you’re pre-born, you’re fine, if you’re pre-schooled, you’re fucked. “
You also are those same people who oppose social programs that help children and their families. Especially programs for special needs children.
3. Ever notice that fetus fetishists for the most part can’t or don’t get pregnant (Suzy ALLCAPS not withstanding)? While no one should ever have the right to tell a woman what she can or cannot do with her own body, I feel that those people especially shouldn’t have that right.
4. I don’t know about you, boys ‘n’ girls, but aren’t you tired of that same old argument that Canada is the only one of three jurisdictions that “have no abortion laws”– “Most other nations have at least, some restrictions”, to which I say, so? Maybe they should loosen their own abortion laws.
Another thing to note, in some of those European nations (not all, surely), have better educational programs, better planned parenthood programs than we do in Canada. Some also tend to have better social programs that help families and children than we do. Generally, such programs reduce the number of abortions as there is less of a need.
Oh, DeBeauxOs has definitely nailed the characteristic of a fetus fetishist. Go read.
And before I go, one word for Gordie, who basically says that mental health or conjugal issues isn’t a good enough reason for a potential third trimester abortion: Please don’t minimize these issues. The very fact that you do, indicates that you have no knowledge of either. As someone who is both a survivor of conjugal violence and works for a social service agency that deals with at risk children on a daily basis, I have knowledge of both of those above mentioned issues.
Oh, and boys ‘n’ girls, please sign this petition if you don’t want to head in the direction the US is headed these days or go back to the days of wire hangers or unsanitary flophouses where unsafe abortions were done clandestinely.
And another word before I go. Thank you, Andrea Mrozek for adding to my site traffic. Always nice to have fans. It’s always a pleasure to serve and educate readers. Please stop by anytime. By the by, dear, you still didn’t succeed in refuting my arguments in my post that you doth protest so much over.
Oh, and speaking of dear Andrea, she proves to have a problem with birth control being widely available. Never mind that readily available safe contraception also reduces abortions which she so objects to.
A reporter should ask questions, but if you had watched the video you’d see she was clearly being abrasive, saying he was avoiding the question when he had answered her calmly and civilly. She also attempted to frame a public debate on when life begins as pro-life or pro-choice, why can’t it be pro-democracy or pro-civic engagement?
As there are no laws on abortion and many people are misinformed, not to mention extremely irrational, having a much needed discussion on when life begins would be beneficial. Like the Canadian Medical Association, I support abortions, but not in the third trimester.

The reporter was berating Woody because he wasn’t answering the question. It’s so rare that media people today do anything but be cheerleaders for the Harpercons that I find it refreshing to find a reporter doing his/her job. If any party/government deserves berating over just about any issue, it’s the Harpercons in spades.
many people are misinformed
Yeah, about our democracy, the Harpercons, etc. I find that more frightening than whether or not they’re informed about our abortion laws. Also, Dr. Dawg seems to have refuted that statement in comments at Gordy’s place.

I’m sorry, but did you watch the video? Could you cite one question he didn’t answer?

yeah, I watched it. Damn! I thought she was pretty tame. She could’ve gone harder on him. As for Woody. Typical–giving the same ol’ answer to all her questions, pretty much. And yes, he was dancing around the issue.
I’ll ask again, please cite the question he didn’t answer. You don’t even have to give me the time stamp, just the question.

You mean it wasn’t obvious to you? What his ultimate goal is for Canada regarding abortion laws, naturally.
Regarding the lame-ass whining about how “every other country has an abortion law”: Funny it doesn’t occur to these people that Canada may be ahead of the curve and the rest of the world still mired in the muck of old ways, with laws based on religious doctrine.

And the majority of countries have laws banning Same Sex Marriage. We don’t, which makes us one of the most enlightened countries in this world. Is that the argument Harper and his followers will use to ban SSM?
“That one seems to argue as if third trimester abortions happen on a daily basis across Canada”.
I am the ‘that one’ to which you refer, and I’ve never sugggested LTAs are a common occourence in Canada, quite the opposite. I made the point although LTAs are rare that doesn’t mean they should neccessarily be excluded from debate, including the upcoming debate in our Parliament.
I don’t have any problem with you disagreeing with my view, that’s perfectly fair and reasonable. All I ask is that if you’re going to represent my views that you please at least represent what I’ve said accurately.
Thanks.
If you want a safe, cheap, clean abortion in a hospital with a certified doctor…go to South Korea. They don’t think in terms of it being unlawful or a religious question at all. Volia..done. So much for Canada being ahead of other countries.
