Priests for Life Canada supports incremental legislation. They also support the weneedaLAW.ca campaign.
As far as I know Campaign Life Coalition and Alliance for Life Canada still do not support incremental legislation. It's too bad they don't.
It would be nice if we could all work together to obtain some legal limits for the pre-born children of this country. I would love to see a ban on late-term-abortions in Canada. Or on sex-selection abortions. Of course we will continue to work for accomplishing this. With CLC and AFLO, or without them.

For goodness sake, vote tomorrow
I just got back from having lunch with a good friend. She told me she wasn't voting tomorrow. And neither was her husband. I was appalled.
Canada is one of the wealthiest, most beautiful, terrific countries in the world (except of course, for our horrific, evil, any time any reason abortion law).
But we do have full democratic rights that some people in this country actually choose not to practice. It's called voting in elections.
In May I visited Poland. Where I toured Auschwitz. Where millions of people had no rights. Where people were treated worse than animals and slaughtered. Because of an evil and corrupt political regime. That people voted into power.
Here we are in Canada and some of us choose not to vote in our elections. This is beyond comprehension. Last election Ontario had a pathetic voter turn out rate of 48%. I think that is disgusting that half of grownups in Ontario can be so apathetic that they didn't bother to vote. They can't be grownups.
In my opinion, if you don't vote, then you don't get to complain. Don't come crying to me and tell me that you don't like the Liberals. Or you think Kathleen Wynne and Tim Hudak are both wieners. Or that you don't vote because they're all crooks. Or they're slimy. Or you don't trust them.
If you don't vote you have no right to say any of these things. If you don't vote you should be ashamed of yourself.
If you do vote, you can say all these things and I'll listen to you. Otherwise I'll block my ears and say "lalala I can't hear you".
So whatever you do or don't do tomorrow, for heaven's sake, go out and vote.

Ontario politicians treat voters like idiots
Remember this letter where a citizen asked their MPP what they would do regarding the killing of access to information rights in Ontario?
"I would like to know what you will do, if re-elected, to restore access to information rights in Ontario. In what way will you work to return the ability of the ordinary taxpayer to have full access to all data concerning all medical services paid for by the taxpayer? This was recently stripped from us in a covert and undemocratic manner by the current Liberal government, all the while saying the right words about an "open & transparent government".They received a reply which said:
"Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the release of abortion statistics in Ontario. As you know, a limited number of amendments to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act came into force in January 2013. These amendments were developed to assist hospitals maintain quality of care and protect the safety of both staff and patients, and they were reviewed by the Standing Committee on Social Policy and debated and passed in the Legislature.
The Ontario Liberals are committed to an open and transparent government, and our progress on this front has allowed Ontario's residents access to an ever-growing amount of data. To date we have made 212 data sets available to the general public, and we continue to add more. You can browse through what's available here: https://www.ontario.ca/government/open-data-ontario."To which the letter writer responded:
"...just a couple of notes regarding your response.
Perhaps your staffer didn't read my email where I said I hate being treated like an idiot.
Your answer treats me like an idiot. Hmmmm, most idiots would notice that you didn't answer my question. When I ask you "what time is it?" and you respond "the sky is blue", you didn't answer my question. Perhaps you thought I wouldn't notice. See [first paragraph].
Signed,It's pretty sad how politicians disrespect and demean the very people who put them into power in the first place. Pathetic really.
Not Getting MY vote"
I'm actually embarrassed for them. Oh wait, it passed.

Liberal's "values" aren't Ontario's values
Ontario is having an election. Who should we vote for?
The Liberals have squandered our money for political gain (you know the sordid story I don't have to repeat it here).
Then they began the process of dismantling our access to information rights with their abortion exclusion clause. What's next, we don't know, but it will be something because we can't trust them. Then Dalton McGuinty jumped ship before the poop hit the fan and covered him with sewage.
Andrea Horwath supported the despicable Liberals until their use to the NDP soured and Ms. Horwath decided curdled milk wasn't her style anymore.
The Conservatives were soundly snoring when the Liberals snuck the abortion exclusion clause into FIPPA, and are still asleep and refusing to admit they never saw it coming or even that it came.
We know the Liberals haven't a clue about much, and I couldn't trust them as far as I could throw them. The NDP are lefty personified although the Liberals give them a good run for their money--or should I say our money. And the Conservatives refuse to acknowledge the abortion exclusion clause hoping I'll just go away I guess (wait until they see how I pester them if they win they ain't seen nothing yet).
So who the heck are we supposed to vote for?
I agonized over this for some time now. I have come to only one conclusion. I have to vote Conservative. No person in Ontario should vote Liberal.
The clincher for me was when Madeleine's re-election brochure came in my mail. This is what it said:

I am proud to be part of Kathleen Wynne's team. She has guided our government with values that are shared by Ontarians. I know that under her leadership we can meet the challenges of the future. (emphasis mine)."I. Am. Not. Kidding.

Justin Trudeau further explains Liberal policy
More wise words from Justin Trudeau
“This is about democracy...this is about choice, and protecting that choice.”
“People are allowed to have their personal views, and are, of course, encouraged to have a wide range of personal views, But when it comes to legislating away a woman’s right to choose, the Liberal Party simply will not accept that. No vote by the Liberal Party can ever take away those fundamental rights that women need to enjoy in Canada.”
“We need to stand up and defend women’s rights and Charter rights.”
“This is not a position about trying to gain votes or trying to play a certain angle. This is very much a position of principle.
"I am personally pro-choice."
