Reason 792 to hate the Harper government

Moral paragon and possible war criminal Stephen Harper has pulled another fast one...

The federal government has disclosed for the first time that Canada will not fund abortions in its G8 child and maternal health-care initiative for developing countries.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced late last year that Canada, as the host of the upcoming G8 meeting in June, would champion maternal and child health in developing countries.

But until Monday, no one in the government had disclosed whether abortion would be included in the corresponding programs Canada supports.

International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda said the government would consider funding family planning measures such as contraception, but not abortion under any circumstances.


This is topped by the bullshit statement of the day...

"We're not debating abortion; we're clarifying family planning."

How dumb do they think we are?
