The NDP is afraid to discuss abortion

Canada has no law limiting abortion – none at all. It is legal to murder a full-term baby while it is still in the womb and illegal to murder it five minutes later when it is outside of the womb. Jason Kenney, conservative immigration minister, is supporting a motion that would require parliament to study scientific evidence that could help us decide when human life begins.

The NDP, the party that would have us believe it defends the weakest in society, instead, champions a woman’s right to choose – to kill the weakest of the weak: her baby. Moreover, the NDP wants to suppress any discussion on the issue.

Evidently the NDP is not so sure of its position that it is willing to subject it to scrutiny. The reason is that, in their heart of hearts, everyone – even NDP politicians – knows that abortion is murder and the only reason for it being legal is that we are a society so given over to self-absorption, so immersed in narcissism, so solipsistic, we are willing to sacrifice our own children on the altar of hedonistic self-interest: much as ancient pagans burned their offspring as a propitiation to Moloch.

In fairness to the NDP – not that they would reciprocate – Harper and the entire liberal party are just as bad.

From here:

OTTAWA — The NDP hammered Immigration Minister Jason Kenney Tuesday after the cabinet minister said he will support a motion calling for a discussion about “when life begins.”

NDP status of women critic MP Niki Ashton says Kenney’s motives for supporting Tory MP Stephen Woodworth’s motion are dubious.

“The question here is why he is choosing to stand up in opposition to his government’s wishes on a motion that is so fundamental to women’s rights,” Ashton said

[….]

However, Ashton and her caucus colleague Francoise Boivin say the motion should have been smacked down before it reached the Commons because it challenges a woman’s right to choose.

 

Ottawa sex exhibition/child pornography extravaganza gets NDP support

The NDP, champion of the disadvantaged and those who cannot fend for themselves – well, except for unborn babies – is supporting a publicly funded Ottawa sex exhibition aimed at children; and paedophiles. The theory is, apparently, that the younger a child is told about sex the older he will be before he tries it for himself, a contention so ludicrous that it should be beyond even the NDP’s embrace – but no.

From here:

Controversy over a raunchy sex exhibit at an Ottawa museum erupted in the House of Commons Thursday.

The Museum of Science and Technology is hosting the program, Sex: A Tell-All Exhibit, a show crafted for school trips by the Montreal Science Centre and costing $800,000. It’s on loan to the capital for a year.

An NDP MP accused the ruling Tories, who have criticized the exhibit’s content and cost, for being “prudish.”

The exhibit includes a climax room with a round leather bed, red drapes, and a video showing aroused genitals while audio plays of a man describing an orgasm.

There’s also a naming post asking students for alternative terms for penis and vagina. Words like c— and p—y are used for women’s genitalia, and c–k and d–k are used for men’s. The words are displayed in large text on a screen.

Wooden dildos sporting various condoms include descriptions like “for the chocolate lover” for flavoured ones, and “for those long winter nights” for ones that heat up.

Listening posts offer advice to students on everything from anal sex to getting abortions without parental knowledge. The show was created for those 12 years old and older with input from sexologists.

Here is what Michael Coren thinks about it:

NDP deputy leader doubts bin Laden photos exist

The NDP conspiracy theory loonies are not only out in force, but they seem to have floated to the top. Thomas Mulcair is in good company: at last an interesting Canadian political landscape. The bloc Add an Imagedecimated, the liberals humiliated and the official opposition led by buffoons.

 

From here:

The deputy leader of Canada’s new Official Opposition party says he doubts the U.S. has photos of Osama bin Laden’s dead body.

Thomas Mulcair, who stands in for NDP Leader Jack Layton in the House of Commons when he is away, told CBC’s Power & Politics that he doesn’t believe photos exist of bin Laden following his killing by U.S. forces on Sunday in Pakistan.

“I don’t think, from what I’ve heard, that those pictures exist and if they do I’ll leave that up to the American military,” he told host Evan Solomon.

“If they’ve got pictures of a cadaver then there’s probably more going on than we suspect in what happened there,” Mulcair said.

Mulcair also said the killing requires “a full analysis” on whether it was self-defence or a direct killing because “that has to do with American law and international law as well.”

“I think that if the Americans have taken pictures in that circumstance, it won’t be able to prove very much as to whether Mr. [bin Laden] was holding a weapon,” he said.

It seems that, Mulcair, rather than being an NDP aberration, is merely plodding the loon trail blazed by other members of his party:

In 2008, NDP MP Libby Davies stood up in Parliament and read out this petition, which had been signed by over 500 citizens:

Scientific and eyewitness evidence shows that the 9/11 Commission Report is a fraudulent document and that elements within the US government were complicit in the murder of thousands of people on 9/11/2001. This event, the petition points out, brought Canada into the so-called “War on Terror,” [and] it has changed our domestic and foreign policies for the worse.

A Canadian prisoner of conscience

Yes there is one: her name is Linda Gibbons, a harmless grandmother who happens to believe that murdering unborn babies is wrong. Unlike Omar Khadar, who is seldom out of the media andAdd an Image undoubtedly deserves to serve a stretch in the clink, Linda Gibbons is largely ignored by the mainstream media, although there is this article in today’s National Post:

Linda Gibbons, an anti-abortion activist who has spent eight of the past 16 years behind bars for continually breaking a temporary injunction around a Toronto abortion clinic, has been abused by a legal system that has failed to deal with her in a proper venue and in a timely fashion, her lawyers told a provincial court judge on Tuesday.

The underlying behaviour of the Crown has been to delay doing its duty “and now 16 years later is taking advantage of its dereliction,” lawyer Nicolas Rouleau told Judge Mara Greene in a Toronto courtroom.

Daniel Santoro also argued that Ms. Gibbons should never have been arrested nearly 20 times for breaching the temporary injunction, which a civil court issued in 1994 at the request of the then NDP government.

Once inside the courtroom, her supporters stood silently as the 62-year-old defendant, whose skin looked nearly grey and who walked with a noticeable stoop, was brought in handcuffed. Ms. Gibbon sat through the two-hour hearing with her head down. She has never spoken at any of her court appearances, believing silence is part of her protest for the “voicelessness of the unborn,” a supporter, Father Tony Van Hee, explained.

Fr. Van Hee has held a 21-year vigil outside of Parliament Hill to make abortion a criminal offence. He and others think Ms. Gibbons is a prisoner of conscience.

Eight years in prison; not for committing a crime but for having the guts to stand against real criminals – abortion providers and those who support them. All brought to you by the party of compassion, the NDP.
