They are Pro-abortion, Not Pro-choice

It is a scandal and an outrage that so-called "pro-choice" advocates have voted down a bill in Parliament that would make the coercion of a woman into having an abortion a crime. Anybody who has spent any time around a crisis pregnancy center knows that this is a huge problem in Canada. How anybody could possibly oppose a bill like this is beyond comprehension.

One thing it proves is that people who voted against it are not pro-choice, but pro-abortion. Our society throws pregnant women to the wolves and calls it "compassion." It calls for choice and then turns a blind eye when coercion is applied to women who want to make the choice for life. It is positively Orwellian and shows that we are dealing with a deep-seated spiritual evil.

From The Interim:

On Dec. 15, the House of Commons voted down C-510, a private member's bill that would have amended the Criminal Code to add coercing an abortion to its list of offenses. Rod Bruinooge (C, Winnipeg South), who introduced the bill, said it was necessary to ensure that pregnant women did not have to choose between protecting themselves and the children they were carrying. The bill was dubbed Roxanne's Law after Roxanne Fernando, a Winnipeg immigrant who was beaten and left to die at the side of a road in 2007 by her boyfriend and his accomplices, reportedly after she refused his demand to have an abortion.

Abortion advocates both inside Parliament and out insisted that C-510 was a stealth pro-life bill intent on granting precedent-setting rights to the unborn. NDP MP Irene Matheyssen and Liberal MP Marlene Jennings were among those who spoke against the bill in early November, describing it as an assault on "a woman's right to choose." Campaign Life Coalition British Columbia president John Hof said in a press release that C-510 "was about ensuring women were making the decision without pressure." CLC national president Hughes said it was ironic that those who chortle choice would oppose a measure aimed at preventing coercion.

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson and other Conservative opponents of C-510 said the bill was redundant because coercion was already against the law. Bruinooge responded that such an argument was "cover" for the bill's opponents. He explained, "The fact that no one has ever been charged with coercing an abortion in Canada is absolute proof that clarification of the law is desperately needed."

Another scandal is that Prime Minister Stephen Harper voted against this bill. This is outrageous and unforgivable. It is enough to make me reconsider voting Conservative in the next election. It looks like pro-life Canadians have no party to vote for and no voice - just like the innocent unborn and their mothers.

You Tube Censors "We Con the World" But Harper Isn't Conned

The long arm of anti-Semitism now extends even to You Tube. Lawrence Soloman at The National Post explains:

YouTube has censored “We con the world,” a parody that mocks the portrayal of the Free Gaza Flotilla as a humanitarian mission. The parody, which went viral, logging three million views in less than a week and has Russian, French, Portuguese, Hebrew and English versions, is a take-off of “We are the world,” the 1985 pop single produced in aid of humanitarian relief for Africa.

YouTube’s reason for shutting down the video sensation?: “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Warner/Chappell Music, Inc,“ YouTube tells those who try to access the parody.

This claim by YouTube is itself a con. As YouTube well knows, parodies are not subject to a copyright claim. To add to the absurdity of YouTube’s claim, YouTube carries numerous other parodies of “We are the world,” – a search on the YouTube site of “We are the world spoof” turns up 5,100 results.

YouTube’s real problem with this viral hit is the virus of anti-Semitism. “We con the world,” which portrays terrorists on the Gaza flotilla’s ship, the MV Mavi Marmara, explaining how they’ll con the world, hits too close to home for many Hamas sympathizers, who mounted a successful campaign to cow YouTube.

Is this the first time anti-Israel politics have gotten to YouTube? Sadly, no.

This isn’t the first time that YouTube succumbed to pressure from terrorist sympathizers. In 2008, YouTube yanked footage showing the conduct of the Israeli Defense Forces during its invasion of Gaza, which also didn’t fit the storyline of Hamas sympathisers.

But the pro-Israel forces are fighting back against the attempted demonizing of Israel by the Leftist-Islamofascist axis. Today Prime Minister Stephen Harper turned up the heat on Hamas-sympathizer Libby Davies:

Prime Minister Stephen Harper stepped up the pressure on the NDP’s Libby Davies to resign her position as her party’s deputy leader on Wednesday, accusing her of making “extremist” statements about Israel that were similar to the language used by terrorist organizations.

“The deputy leader of the NDP knew full well what she was saying,” Mr. Harper said during the daily question period in the House of Commons. “She made statements that could have been made by Hamas, Hezbollah or anybody else with no repercussions from that party whatsoever.”

It is high time that the anti-Israel Leftists in Parliament were held accountable for their support for a genocidal death cult that is in the process of trying to destroy Israel and Western civilization. They deserve a lot worse than what they got today. They are the ones whose extreme and violent views deserve to have no audience.
