Well our Prime minister has enough sense not to tamper with women’s rights (well at least while he has a minority government).
“Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he opposes any new abortion law for Canada and will vote against any of his backbenchers’ attempts to bring in such legislation.”
Furthermore he clarifies with regards to private members bills:
“My position is quite clear: I will oppose any attempt to create a new abortion law,” he told reporters in Niagara Falls.”
I have no doubt that his political pragmatism has gotten the best of him. We can breathe a small sigh of relief, but must remain vigilant as the Conservatives will continue to chip away at women’s rights.
