The feminists often try to portray pro-life views as "anti-women". The poll however shows that support for protection from conception is actually higher among women than among men - 33% versus 24%. The poll also shows strong support for informed consent laws and strong opposition to funding abortions on demand with taxpayers' money. But don't expect abortion funding to be cut in the next budget - even if that sinks the country into deficit:
“Despite years of polls consistently showing Canadians want changes in our abortion policy, elected officials in every party continue to ignore the issues or worse, shut down discussion and debate,” said Dr. Doherty. “This is a sad state for a democratic nation. It is past time for our political leaders to acknowledge and take action in line with the expressed will of their constituents. The issue is not going to go away!”Well, if our elected members don't care about what we think - maybe we should start working on creating a viable pro-life alternative, at least for the key ridings?
