Hey, someone has to do it in this country.
This time our next PM is letting our current PM know that he should support safe abortion programs abroad if he is serious about supporting the rights of women.
May I add that Mr. Harper should get on board and support the same in this country; did you know that there are more Senators in PEI than doctors that will perform abortions?

Harper wants to focus on the health of the mothers and nutrition of the children at the G8, as we are in Haiti.
ReplyDeleteIts called priorities.
I'm curious...
ReplyDeleteYou hear the word" choice" bandied around by the left. But unless a woman was raped or a victim of incest, how did she not have a "choice?"
Just wondering...
