It could happen here

So, remember Bill C-484, the so-called Unborn Victims of Crime Act, that the Conservatives said was not about abortion until they said it was about abortion?

One of the reasons so many of us were against it was that it had the potential to bestow legal personhood on an embryo, and value that life above that of the pregnant woman carrying it.

You want to know how that turns out when that kind of thing is allowed to happen? Watch what is going on in the U.S. (Warning: This is very upsetting.)

But you know how it is. The QUOTE health UNQUOTE of the mother -- the ''extreme pro-abortion position'' -- like John McCain said, is just an excuse for us to suck babies out of ourselves.

Tell me please how proposed laws like these regard pregnant women as anything but walking incubators whose lives and bodies are not their own?

I have such an ache now. How can so many walk so willingly into nothingness?

Somebody hates women. Somebody either hates women or really fears them.

Very powerful evidence, Antonia. Thanks so much.

April, it's not just that they are willing to walk into nothingness themselves. It's that they insist on dragging the unwilling into it with them. By force of law, if necessary.

I wonder if these women then had to pay for all the medical procedures forced on them either through their medical insurance or out of their own pocket.
