Stephen Harper's Interview On YouTube — There's Still One Question Missing

And that question is about Canada's legal vacuum on fetal rights. Not because they were running out of time - if they had enough time for a question on whether Stephen Harper is going to organize another referendum on Quebec's sovereignty (a question which is completely irrelevant for a Federal, not to mention, a federalist Prime Minister,) and if they took the trouble to dig that particular question out of some 1800 questions submitted, (in spite of all the marijuana and climate change questions that kept repeating themselves,) they could have allocated a minute or two to answer a question on the unborn babies' rights.

There were quite a few of them asked and some of them received quite high degree of support from the voters. But in the end, that question was omitted. Here's the transcript of the interview, you won't find the word "abortion" or "unborn" there. To commend the Prime Minister, he did a great job explaining why we shouldn't legalize drugs and that there are better alternatives for childcare than mammoth Federally-managed McDaycare monopoly. He even took his time to respond to a man concerned about baby seals, but he didn't say a word about saving the baby humans.

Is this the most pro-family Prime Minister we can get? Looks like that; all other major parties are much further to the left. Can the situation improve? Maybe. We've seen some opinion polls, according to which, majority of Canadians consider abortion morally wrong. But how likely is that to translate into votes come next election? After all that's not the only issue on which the silent majority doesn't agree with all four major political parties. Yet in the end, most of them still support the major parties or don't vote at all; even if there is a far better option on the ballot and vote splitting is not a concern. We've seen that in Cumberland — Colchester — Musquodoboit Valley, didn't we?
