Stephen Harper's Abortion Red Herring.
Harper threw out a Red herring the other day and a lazy and docile press took the bait. Specifically, he said the conservatives "will not be bringing in abortion legislation. We will not be sponsoring an abortion referendum." Of course, he would never hold a referendum on abortion; they will loose hands down. As for his suggestion that he would not be tabling legislation, this is just a smoke screen too. Harper said he would allow a free vote of MPs on a private member's bill; such a bill is all but guaranteed. This is the first thing should have caught the media's eye. The second one I already mentioned. He suggested that he would leave it up to the provinces to decide. I hope this caught the eye of female voters in Alberta.
