Musing over election politics after the fact

October 20, 2008 by Andrea Mrozek 2 Comments

Can’t tell you how many people I meet who are fiscally and politically left–and pro-life. So the question is, how many swing votes would a party win if they added the life issue to the roster? Parties only ever consider who they might lose–but done carefully, I think there are many votes to gain. Too late, I know, but it’s a conversation I had this past weekend.

    Had a similar conversation with my husband during the election, in which I stated that I’d very readily vote for a pro-life NDP candidate. But I’ll be voting Conservative until, until, until…

    Andrea, what really amazes me is the large number of MPs who say that they are personally opposed to abortion, or at the very least are in favour of restricting abortion at some point. But then they qualify their views by promising that they’ll never act on those views if elected. My hope ( a distant one, I admit) is that a whole lot of pissed off pro-lifers who formerly voted Conservative will now move over to the other parties and take their pro-life activism with them. Maybe an infusion of pro-lifers into the other parties will have a positive effect and make the party leaders re-think their abortion any time for any reason platforms.
