Canadian Soapbox: Politicians afraid of the abortion debate – But are Canadians?
Many of Canada’s elected representatives are scared to death of the abortion debate, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Federal minister for the Status of Women Rona Ambrose among them. Both are on record as saying that Canadians don’t want this debate re-opened, or words to that effect. Uh huh, right.

Steven Harper really enjoys floating trial balloons through his back benches. Another preemptive volley from the <a href=”http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/inside-politics-blog/2013/02/power-politics-ballot-box-question-187.html”>western conservative black hole of politics</a>has made it the media. The poll, of course, has been skewed by the screwball forced birth advocating religious right in Canada so ignore the results. However,

It is nice when the anti-woman, fetus-fetish brigade starts getting worked up. The thin veil of “protecting life” is torn away leaving only the desperate misogyny that is so typical of the anti-choice zealots. This from the Feel that pro-life love!

Ah yes, the perennially wrong anti-choice, forced birth lobby loses again, and again and again. You never get to ignore the bodily autonomy of women and this comment from Pharyngula details precisely why. “I’ll tell you why I hate those hypothetical near-birth abortion scenarios. It’s not that they’re stupid, or

How can this be a good thing for the Conservatives? They know that abortion is not homicide by law in this country. Hopefully the RCMP will tell them so and this will end there.

Well. I’m glad to see the Catlicks coming around on an important issue to women and their rights. This is an object lesson for the deluded pro-life movement. Your fetus worshipping is useful for whipping up the frenzy and getting people all frothy, but when serious issues come its time

Shall we wake up to some historical notions? Has history ever been kind to women? The short answer is no. Why? Because, Patriarchy. Today is not for learning about 101 level feminism. Today is calling down from pulpit the rage and the anger against the systematic oppression of women in

My tweet this morning: “Liberal Groundhog surfaces … sees shadow and runs back into hole … women’s rights too scary to deal with! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/story/2013/01/10/pei-abortion-rights-study-584.html … #peipoli” that was in response to this: Last night UPEI professor Colleen MacQuarrie released preliminary findings of her research project regarding the practise of sending Island

Hey folks, by now I think you are aware of my positions on pretty much every contentious issue that comes down the pipe. We here at DWR regularly lay waste to the shitty anti-choice arguments that cross our path. We take the time to deconstruct the bullcookery and show

If Islanders wondered for even a moment if they made a difference this year fighting for their particular cause, they can rest easy. Proof that you had an impact was in the Premier’s year end interview on CBC Compass where he referenced some portion of Islanders as being people whom he will never please … he’s not able

Eventually, surely eventually I will take a big lesson from these experiences and learn to do as my wiser, and usually more educated reproductive rights counterparts do when they see the kinds of anti-choice propaganda that sends me over the edge. I rant, and I call some people some choice names

The Guttmacher Institute is all about giving women the rights to control their reproductive future and of course their bodies. The pro-woman, pro-choice position is based on evidence and facts that no amount of prayer, handwaving or appeals to emotion can over come. Being that your position(my beloved anti-choicers) is
