A CBC discussion between pro-abortion Member of Parliament Carolyn Bennett and anti-abortion former Member of Parliament Jim Karygiannis.
My favourite moment is when Bennett tries to bring up same-sex marriage to divert attention from her party’s ridiculous position on abortion.

Okay, I couldn’t view the discussion on my computer for whatever reason, but I have a question. The Charter right that is generally referred here is the right to security of person. Now pregnancy doesn’t interfere with a woman’s security of person usually, but sometimes it does. My reading of the Morgentaler case tells me that a woman has the right to an abortion when the pregnancy puts her life in danger. Is that a fair interpretation?

Here is a government publication on the Morgentaler decision. It’s much more balanced than just about anything else I’ve read out there, so I thought I’d put it out there for general perusal.
