It's amazing and incredibly stupid for the Prime Minister Paul Martin to bring up the abortion issue as a Conservative platform. I swear Paulie and his Liberal buddies like Jason Cherniak must have Alzheimer's disease.
Did ya check the Conservative platform?
"A Conservative Government will not support any legislation to regulate abortion." - CPC Policy Declaration March 2005
Yes, it's true, any member of Parliament can introduce a private members bill about abortion. We all know a bill on abortion would never pass and besides most private member bills do not pass.
But just to show what a hypocrite Paul Martin and his Liberals are; I listed a quote from another blog site.
quoted from smb
The question is, which private member would introduce it?
Tom Wappel, Liberal member for Scarbourough Southwest and former Liberal leadership candidate, who once called for abortion to be made a criminal offence, punishable by life in prison?

Paul Szabo, Liberal member for Mississauga South, favoured candidate of the Campaign Life Coalition, and winner of the Joseph P. Borowski Award for pro-life activities?

Perhaps Jim Karygiannis, another Liberal member from Scarbourough and abortion opponent?

Or maybe another of the 20 or so Liberal MPs described by the Pro-Choice Action Network as being "publicly anti-choice", including the Cherniak-endorsed Albina Guarnieri of Mississauga East-Cooksville?
