From here:
Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak appeared to shy away from his previous anti-abortion position Monday, saying he doesn’t plan to re-open the issue if he wins the Oct. 6 provincial election.
When he was running for the PC leadership in 2009, Hudak’s representatives told the Association for Reformed Political Action he is pro-life and had signed a petition calling for the defunding of abortions and to support doctors who don’t want to perform the procedures.
But Hudak seemed reluctant to confirm he had signed a petition when asked about it by reporters Monday.
“I may have signed a petition from my riding in that respect, but listen, let me be clear: we are not reopening this debate,” said Hudak. “Just like the federal Parliament, we would not be reopening that issue.”
By not reopening that issue, Hudak has placed political expediency – the will to power – above confronting the greatest evil present today in Canadian society.
In the struggle to preserve civilisation, that puts Canada somewhere behind Russia.
Pathetic.
