With MPs and Ministers tripping all over themselves to “out” themselves as pro-choice Conservatives, I thought I would remind you all that there are pro-life politicians on Parliament Hill. Full disclosure: I work for one of them. And no, I am not paid to blog (unfortunately. Can you make a living pro-life bloggging? Because I’d be interested.) In my office, I have pictures of my boss denouncing the Morgentaler Order of Canada, visiting pro-life organizations, attending the National March for Life and addressing the crowds on Parliament Hill.
If you live in a riding represented by the NDP, the Liberals, the Bloc or any socially-liberal-Conservative, you may feel unrepresented in Parliament. If you have ever written to your MP about pro-life or pro-family issues and received a boiler-plate reply about social consensus and Canadian values blah-blah, you may feel misunderstood and silenced. But you are not. It may not be your MP but some MPs are working hard — and getting flack — making sure that your voice is heard.

Thanks Véronique for this post. I’ve worked with and for awesome pro-life MPs. As Mr. Bruinooge has pointed out, the pro-life stance is actually an asset to getting elected in Canada. But of course, even if it wasn’t an asset, standing up for the dignity of every human being is position all officials should support. I expect no less from every MP.
My MP is Marlene Jennings. I have written to her several times. When I pointed out to her that giving Morgenthaler the Snowflake was poor public policy, given that Canada was not able to replace her population, she replied that good immigrants would replace us all. All of her statements could have come from a PP briefing book, except for that one, and I am sure that her staffers phone PP for their canned answers.
