The mainstream media continues to be out of step with the conservative movement – and ordinary Canadians.
In a Globe and Mail column entitled Tory MP’s bill to ban sex-selective abortion is the stinking albatross Erin O’Toole was warned about Konrad Yakabuski made several baseless accusations about why pro-lifers are not electable for the Conservative Party of Canada.
“Anti-choice groups claim to be acting in the name of ‘gender equality,’ though their ultimate goal of banning abortion – and depriving all women of a fundamental right – shows this claim to be disingenuous,” Yakabuski writes.
This claim has numerous innate errors. To begin, there is no right to abortion in Canada. The 1988 Morgentaler decision ruled that Parliament needed to create a new law to regulate abortion – it has since failed to do so, and thus Canada is in a situation in which abortion is neither legal nor illegal. Canada is one of two countries in the world where this is the case – the other being North Korea.
