From The Star:

A Bitish medical journal has criticised the Canadian government for not funding overseas abortions:

OTTAWA—A top British medical journal is chiding the Harper government for refusing to put abortion funding on Canada’s G8 agenda.

An editorial in The Lancet says it’s “hypocritical and unjust” that Canada get in the way of abortions abroad when Canadian women can have them at home.

“This stance must change,” the journal says.

“Seventy thousand women die from unsafe abortions worldwide every year. The Canadian government does not deprive women living in Canada from access to safe abortions; it is therefore hypocritical and unjust that it tries to do so abroad.”

What the Lancet fails to mention is that 115,000 babies die every day from abortions that are decidedly unsafe for the babies. The Lancet is right about one thing, though: it is not hypocritical for Canada to refuse to export an evil domestic practice, but it is inconsistent. The time has come to put an end to unrestricted abortion in Canada.
