Conservative response to Maternal Health: Liberals are Anti-American

[DrGreenthumb]

I cannot-- simply CAN NOT give my vote to someone who would restrict that essential right to first dibs on ones own body, if they could get away with it.

It's an ascendant question.

Me either, that's why I cannot support a party that advocates prohibition.

Do you think the tax payers should be forced to pay for your habits?

Women are overwhelimingly pro-choice and traditionally vote for people who defend it. I don't know too many women who aren't in favour of this. It's a vote getter. Sorry.

You don't have to be sorry...that's OK. What many men forget is that women in general, have more common sense than men. While men are out looking for nuances that gain political advantage, woman see things more black and white......and they HATE to be patronized or taken for granted. That's why many women will see this motion for what it is - the politicization for partisan purposes of an issue that is important to many women - but has been somewhat grudgingly laid to rest in Canada. We'll have to wait and see what women think of Ignatieff's motion but I can guarantee that it's not a vote-getter. It's really a case of how big a loser it will be. Women are too smart for this kind of crap.

Kind of hard not to patronize someone who sees things in black and white...I think that would be the first criteria for being simple...

The Liberals didn't start this, the Conservatives did by leaving it out in the first place. In the end, as Molly has eluded to, women are going to support the party that supports them and women's rights in general. If you're still under some illusion that's the CPC, then you keep at it, slugger.

Nope, I can quite easily afford to pay for all my habits myself thanks. I just think they should F@ck off and not try to imprison me for them. My body my choice. Don't give me the health care bullshit either. Fat people, alcoholics and cigarette smokers all cost the health care system far more than my pot consumption does.

Of course, Paying for your choices is the mark of an adult, unless of course it's an abortion...
