No abortion in Canada's G8 maternal health plan

The federal government has disclosed for the first time that Canada will not fund abortions in its G8 child and maternal health-care initiative for developing countries.

Liberal MP Bob Rae said the government has taken an ideological stand on the issue.
"They just reopened the abortion debate," Rae told reporters outside the House of Commons. "We are saying to the countries that are the poorest: 'We won't apply the law that we have in Canada'."

Good! This is something we need to talk about because we haven't had an abortion law for over 20 years! Good on ya, PM Harper!

I just sent him a thank you note and you can too:
