Do these people even hear themselves talk?
Michael Ignatieff warned Stephen Harper today not to play “ideological games” with women’s health, suggesting the Prime Minister’s new commitment should extend to abortion programs.
“Let’s keep the ideology out of this and move forward,” said the Liberal leader at an afternoon press conference.
Mr. Ignatieff says he supports Mr. Harper’s initiative to make maternal health a key plank at this year’s G8 summit in Muskoka but cautioned that women must “have a full range of contraceptive options and have control of their fertility.”

Abortion is for killing the already conceived. Does he mean abstinence programs?
Good point Brigette about public figures who claim that those of differing positions are ‘ideological’ and they themselves are not. Reminds me of; ‘I am tolerant of everyone who agrees with me’. Ignatieff shows himself to be both ‘ideologically’ driven and completely unaware that all people have a point of view. He of course would say he’s not ideological but simply right. The unfortunate part of all of this is Ignatieff and the like are driven by their unacknowledged ideology while they ignore the true health of women and the unborn.
Pro-choice Hugh MacIntyre agrees with that here:
