Here are the four Conservative Party MPs who voted against the sane Unborn Victims of Crime Act, Bill C-484, which passed second reading in Parliament Wednesday. The Bill was put forward as a Private Members Bill by Conservative MP Ken Epp.
Gordon O’Connor of Carleton-Mississippi Mills in Ontario
Lawrence Cannon of Pontiac in Québec
Sylvie Boucher of Beauport-Limoilou in Québec
Josée Verner of Louis-Saint-Laurent in Québec
Two of the four are Conservative Cabinet Ministers who also fought traditional marriage and voted to alter the definition of marriage. Cannon is Transportation Minister, and Verner is Minister of International Cooperation. Verner is staunchly pro-abortion and pro-euthanasia MP.

Today’s challenge of the day: Explain to me how they are “conservative”. All four of them are what I’d describe not as “conservative”, but rather as “despicable”. Again that’s “despicable”. Forget the challenge of the day. I’m done with it.
The Unborn Victims of Crime Act seeks to properly recognize unborn children as crime victims when they are injured or killed during the commission of an offense against their mothers. And that is not a “conservative” notion. That’s just “sane”. It’s not good, it’s merely adequate.
I will never understand the mentality of those who would protect what they must see as the right (?) of people to injure or kill unborn babies. I could be wrong but I guess they believe it’s one of those “Canadian Values” that the Canadian liberal-left are always on about.
Some people who are against this bill say they are concerned it is a possible encroachment of their pro-abortion, um, “principles”, and the related “Canadian Value” of limitless, no-questions-asked, any time in any pregnancy—even at 9-months—abortion for any or no reason whatsoever, at taxpayer expense, which has been supported by all the main political parties including the Conservative Party.
(As those of us in the sensible set know, abortion is the most disgusting, most egregious thing ever thought of by humans.)
Of course if that’s their position in being against this Act, it is bunkum. Voluntary abortion or any act or omission by the mother are specifically exempted in the legislation.
It is a weird thing that while pro-abortion folks all prefer to call themselves pro-choice, it may also be a total lie. They only seem to be interested in protecting the rights of women who choose to abort—not those who choose to keep their babies. And they clearly think nothing of the rights of the innocent, unborn child, who I’m pretty sure choose to live as a general matter. So they’re not pro-choice as much as they are, as I said, pro-abortion.
Some of these people are self-described “conservatives”. Right.
It must be very hard to be a liberal. I feel sorry for them.
