Celebrating abortion on Parliament Hill

January 23, 2008 by Andrea Mrozek 2 Comments

There’s a gala event next week to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the “decriminalization of abortion in Canada.” Didn’t that happen in 1969? And “celebrate” is an odd choice of words. Women don’t celebrate abortion. We can only imagine what fun this gala will be. What do you wear to an abortion party? Go with black, I’d say. All black.   

The Honourable Senator Lucie Pépin is hosting the event, alongside the usual suspects: Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (ARCC), Action Canada for Population and Development (ACPD), Canadians for Choice (CFC), Canadian Federation for Sexual Health (CFSH), Fédération du Québec pour le planning des naissances (FQPN) and the National Abortion Federation Canada (NAF). Henry Morgentaler will do a video presentation and Judy Rebick will speak. There’s entertainment too, provided by Lesley Hoyles and the Asinabika Women’s Drumming Circle. Who knows what Judy Rebick will say, but she told a crowd in Calgary in June 2005 this:

If you think about if for a minute these are people [pro-lifers] who really believe that abortion is murder. So if you believe that you would be a fanatic about it. Because you would think there is mass murder going on all the time in this country and what could be more important than that, to stop that. … so it is important to understand where they are coming from. …but the thing about that is that just like other elements of the right they have a very powerful story to tell which is that a fetus is a human being and they walk around with these big mangled fetus pictures…

Rebick must be very, very sure that the fetus is not a human being. Otherwise, that would be a bad mistake to make.

    Exactly. Hitler got away with the slaughter he was executing too for quite some time. There is no other issue as important in our country as that. There are women out there committing suicide from the shame and guilt from abortion. Why don’t the abortion/feminists address that?

    I think the color these they should wear is “red”, for all the innocent blood that has stained our country.
