New Conservatives and Criminalizing Human Rights
As we head into an election campaign, that's how the abortion issue should be put it to voters by the Pro-Choice side of life. Women have always had the right to choice - morally, practically, and only recently - legally. What the Pro-Life movement, with the help of the New Conservative Party of Canada, is trying to do is (re)criminalize that right. And we can clearly see what sort of country that can lead to, south of the border. But it's happening here, too. The New Conservatives are "New" Conservatives because they're a Pro-Life, Socially Conservative Party. There's no difference between Sarah Palin and most New Conservatives (i.e. Stockwell Day and, I suspect, Stephen Harper) because you're either For a woman's right to choose, or Against a woman's right to choose and both Sarah Palin and the New Conservatives are Against (YOUR right to choose, anyway...). It's really that simple. Unfortunately for women, I suspect Stephen Harper and his New Conservatives will win the election they've just called - or they wouldn't have called it. Listen to him - he knows they're scary, that's why he's pretending they'll just win another minority - when a majority is the more likely outcome.
Spread the word - vote for anybody but the New Conservative in your riding.
