I have a great deal of interest in people's views on the law. I don't care if Harper thinks women should or shouldn't have abortions and under what circumstances. I want to know whether or not he supports the current legal status of abortion in Canada. Not merely a promise of whether or not he will want to change it, but whether or not he supports it.<BR/><BR/>For example, he was said he doesn't foresee re-opening the marriage debate. Fair enough. I believe him. However, the fact that he fought against the status quo in the sleaziest way imaginable means I will never, under any circumstances even consider voting for the Conservative Party until they bring in a policy of SUPPORT for equal marriage and apologize for their past actions. They can still personally hate queers as much as they want, and they can still personally think women who have abortions will burn in hell.Reality Biteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350104223630062677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-52687266812759793142008-08-27T10:02:00.000-04:002008-08-27T10:02:00.000-04:00Or do you mean the right to choose kill an unborn ...<I>Or do you mean the right to choose kill an unborn child?</I><BR/><BR/>Oh, if only your mother had exercised that right.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-72946342623478798302008-08-27T09:56:00.000-04:002008-08-27T09:56:00.000-04:00To which 'right to choose' are you referring?
