Mike Schouten is right…

May 13, 2014 by Faye Sonier 6 Comments

…Niki Ashton’s motion does prove that the abortion issue isn’t settled in Canada:

Ms. Ashton said her motion is simply about recognizing women’s rights: “This is not about reopening the debate,” she said on Monday.

But anti-abortion activist Mike Schouten said the Ashton motion acknowledges “that abortion is not a settled issue in Canada.”

“We see this as a positive development. We think the debate needs to be had,” said Mr. Schouten, campaign director of WeNeedaLAW.ca.

But Niki Ashton is also right. Her motion doesn’t “reopen the debate.” As I’ve noted before, the debate was never closed. Or over. Or whatever. That would presume all Canadians feel the same way about abortion in Canada, and that’s not the case. Nor has it ever been.

    This is not about re-opening the debate, except we’re going to be debating. Way to go Niki Ashton! Thanks for doing our heavy lifting.

    Looked up Niki Ashton on Wikipedia. Apparently she was a university professor. You may be on to something about university professors, Andrea.
