Abortion On Demand - What Does It Have To Do With "Safe Medical Services"?

Some Liberal MPs (among them - the Leader of the Opposition, Michael Ignatieff,) actually took the time to respond to a pro-life petition that we had sent them using the ContactMPs.com website. All of them used the same template, informing us that "It is the longstanding view of the Liberal Party of Canada that women must have the right to choose" (without specifying what exactly is to be chosen) and that "this party will take no step that limits, or opens the door to limiting, access to safe medical services for women across Canada" - as if our petitions weren't about abortions on demand, but about some cosmetic surgery.

Here's a great essay by Stephen J. Gray who comments on those carbon copy responses:

It would appear that the leader of the opposition in Canada believes that the “right to choose” to kill the innocents in the womb in Canada can be described as “safe medical services.” One wonders what is “safe” about cutting to pieces, tearing apart by powerful suction devices, beheading, poisoning [in the case of a saline abortion], and then disposing of these little innocents slaughtered by abortionists, like some kind of garbage? Surely calling this atrocity “safe medical services” is very unsafe and deadly for the innocent life in the womb? I believe that a more apt description would be legalized slaughter aided and abetted by those in Canada in positions of power, who would rather use politically correct words to disguise what “the right to choose” really means.
...
Canada today has no law on abortion. The little innocents in the womb can be killed right up to the moment of birth, and those in positions of power boast they are in favor of the “right to choose” to kill these innocents! Therefore the question has to be asked: Do we live in a sick society? Most certainly. The evidence for the humanity of the unborn child is irrefutable. We can see them on ultrasound; there are pictures of them sucking their thumbs in the womb, and we even operate on them (when they are "wanted," that is) to correct some medical problems. In fact, click here to see a picture of an unborn baby grasping his surgeon's finger:

“A woman’s right to choose” rolling off the tongues of politicians makes this heinous act of slaughtering vulnerable unborn human beings sound like something on a menu...

The NDP was a lot more straightforward on the issue. Without hiding behind the "access to safe medical services" rhetoric, their "status of women critic", Irene Mathyssen made it clear that NDP is pro-abortion, period. (With the phrase "abortion should be available" appearing at least once in every paragraph.) If the Liberals have decided to mirror the NDP policy on abortions (with no exceptions for those few pro-life MPs that still remain in the Liberal caucus) - they better start being honest about it.
