(no subject)

Harper's Conservative back-benchers are clamouring again to erode the rights of women.

Said backbencher is, clearly, an ignorant prick. Of course children should have - and do, if I recall correctly - human rights. Embryos are not children.

For once, the comments on the article there - or at least, the highest-rated ones - are not completely stupid. The very top-rated one even addresses how these male MPs should be keeping thier noses firmly out of it. I was kind of tickled to see that, even if the subject matter makes my blood boil.

Fuck this government, seriously.

Ughhh, didn't he promise this issue wasn't going to come up if he got a majority? >:| Ffffff.

Personally, I think an embryo is a life, but a woman isn't morally obligated to give up HER rights over her own body in order for it to live unless she wants to. An embryo is not entitled to a woman's body any more than any other life out there.

Yeah. He did. And he's still saying he doesn't want to address it - but that doesn't mean that his goddamn MPs can't address it, evidently. :|

As far as I'm concerned, an embryo or fetus shouldn't be given human rights considerations until it's out of its mother's womb, alive and able to survive apart from her.

I can agree with that. Afterall, it's dependent on her, a huge strain on her body. It should ultimately be her choice, so no matter what reasoning, I think we pretty much feel the same. :)

Stupid MPs. Harper is such a tricky motherfucker. >:|

Yeah, I believe so. :)

And somehow we're stuck with him for three or four years yet. Sigh.
