After an extended April holiday, this news makes me want to get back to blogging.
Most Conservatives are obviously against abortion, but I just wonder whether they are not using this announcement as a handy way to deflect attention from the Rahim Jaffer stories.
Most Canadians are in favour of abortion, but their votes are split between the Liberals, Bloc, NDP and the Greens. It's not clear that this anti-abortion stance will do much damage at all to the Conservatives, especially if they are trying to make gains in newly immigrated religious communities, many of which oppose to abortion rights.
The Conservatives have taken a big hit in the polls this week because of the Jaffer affair, and it seems to me that they would be quite happy if we all starting talking about abortion instead.
Anyway, just a thought!
