No surprises, as far as I can tell. Or perhaps a surprise in that so few of the Liberal SoCons have come out and said anything. And maybe that's because It's hard to call Morgentaler controversial when most agree with him.

and i thought it was the conservative caucus who was supposed to be muzzled. but hey, the thought that dion has any control over his caucus is even more bizarre.

i highly recommend coyne's piece in macleans on abortion. he doesnt take a stand, but it's the best piece i've ever read on the subject.

I just saw on BBC World women in Northern Ireland buying on-line abortion pills because of the restrictive abortion laws. Some websites are fairly safe while others are not. I would rather see women get proper health treatment in Canada with her doctor than take a risk and order abortion pills on-line.
