Are Politicians
Afraid to Discuss When Life Begins?
By Stephen J. Gray
“Conservative MP
Stephen Woodworth's motion proposing that a parliamentary committee study the
legal definition of when life begins got zero support from MPs who debated it
Thursday.” [1]
Surely in a so-called “parliamentary democracy” any issue
should be open for discussion. But it appears that discussing when human life
begins is a no, no in the “house of democracy?” Why is this? The answer to that
question is: If life begins at conception, and medical journals tell us this is
so, then a huge number of politicians and others will be party to state
sanctioned killing by abortion by supporting “choice.” Many of them are known to parrot the banal
slogan, “we believe in freedom of choice.” Their “choice” of course never
describes the victim who is cut to pieces, killed by a saline solution or born
alive and left to die if unwanted; because Canada, the “civilized country” has
no law on abortion. The child in the womb can be slaughtered right up to the
moment of birth. Then when it’s born, it magically becomes a human life. What
was it before? A carrot, a turnip, an apple or an orange! Of course not, but
hey, this is Canada
where discussing the beginnings of life is taboo because killing by abortion is
acceptable and human life is disposable.
Therefore, the issue must continue to be hidden from the light of truth.
"What have they
to fear from the full flood of light? Why oppose a mere study?" [Stephen]
Woodworth said.
"If you care
about the truth you will courageously follow the facts wherever they lead.
Canadians expect parliamentarians to embody that courage, that strength, that
principled quest for the truth," he said. [1]
Truth has become a victim along with the unborn child in Canada. If
truth prevailed the slaughtered victims of abortion would be on the front pages
of daily newspapers in full bloody color. If truth prevailed in Canada the TV
news would be showing the atrocities committed on these innocent victims
murdered by abortion. If truth prevailed in Canada politicians and other
professionals would condemn the barbarous practice of state sanctioned
abortion. Instead we have hypocrisy and the refusal by those in power to act in
an honourable and decent manner.
“Earlier in the day Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he
will not support the [Woodworth] motion.” (CBC News of April 26, 2012.)
"In my case, I
will be voting against the motion," Harper said. [1](emphasis added)
Is that a cowardly response from Stephen Harper? This is the
same Mr. Harper who said this about a proposed oil pipeline.
“The only way that
governments can handle controversial projects of this manner is to ensure that
things are evaluated on an independent basis scientifically,…” [2]
Yet, there is scientific and medical evidence that life
begins at conception, but Mr. Harper does not want to discuss the issue, not
even “scientifically?” Are pipelines
more important than human life to Mr. Harper?
Stephen Harper is not the only political leader to be
against Mr. Woodworth’s motion.
The CBC News of April 26, 2012, stated: “Harper was asked during question period by NDP Leader Tom Mulcair why
he was allowing Woodworth and other members of his caucus to reopen the debate
on abortion.”[1] (emphasis added)
The CBC news of April 26, 2012 also stated:“NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said no one in his caucus supports the motion but he plans to whip the vote, or force his MPs to vote along party lines.
"We're resolutely in favour of women's right to choose, so it's very clear for us, and we are absolutely opposed to this motion of Mr. Woodworth," he said.” [1A]
It would appear that killing by abortion is a closed subject
and must not be reopened. Why is this?
Surely, any issue should be open for debate as more knowledge on the subject
becomes known? But no, as I said earlier discussion on abortion is forbidden
and the slaughter must continue and the truth on the beginning of human life
must not be discussed. So much for free speech in Canada and the practice of
democracy by a party that calls itself “democratic.”
Anyway Stephen Woodworth’s Motion 312, according to the
Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (ARCC) is “coming up for a second round of
debate on Sept 21 and a vote on Sept 26.” [3]
It will be interesting to see how many MPs have the courage to vote in favour
of Motion 312. After all, what could be wrong with finding out the truth of
when life begins? For as conservative
M.P. Jason Kenney was quoted as saying while introducing Harper to, “Partisan
supporters” in Mississauga,
Ontario.
“We as Canadians have a special vocation, a special
responsibility, to speak truth to power. To be a voice for the voiceless,...”[4]
Jason Kenney
So will MPs have the courage to be a “voice for the voiceless” on Motion 312, or will they continue to
ignore the truth that life begins at conception and hide and cower from their
responsibilities to protect the helpless innocents slaughtered by abortionists?
