The Prime Minister voted in favour of this bill!
Some of the MPs of the opposition parties (excluding most of the New Democrats) supported the bill.
I will say this, anyone who doesn't support this bill is Pro-Abortion, and I don't use that term lightly.
This bill is Pro-Choice, in its purest form. It recognizes that a woman who chooses to carry her unborn child to term, deserves to have that fetus receive protection under the law.
Yay! It passed 2nd reading...but that ass Pat Martin (NDP-Winnipeg), says he is going to try with all his might to block it in committee. The committee on this is evenly split with 6 for the bill, and 6 against it.
Most Liberals MPs suported the bill, considering the party doesn't have an abortion stance (just like the Conservatives), and the fact that polls on abortion and abortion related issues like this have shown a whopping 75% of Canadians support a 2nd criminal charge of murder for a person who knowingly kills a pregnant women.
