Well, that’s a relief. British Columbia’s finance minister Selina Robinson says she will fight to ensure abortion access rights are never denied in the province— no matter what may happen in the United States.

Ontario NDP Andrea Howarth leader also chimed in. “People are scared, sad and furious that the U.S. may again deny women and non-binary folks their reproductive rights. We have a right to control our own bodies, and to make our own choices about our health. This is not negotiable. Not now, not ever..” (Andrea has no trouble, however,  forcing fellow Ontarians to inject an experimental vaccine into their bodies. Or else be denied their civl rights. But we digress.)

And our fearless PM offered his usual word salad: “The right to choose is a woman’s right and a woman’s right alone. Every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion. We’ll never back down from protecting and promoting.. blah-blah-blah.”

Well, certain women’s rights anyhow. Children? Not so much.

Funny, we thought this was a debate happening in the United States. But no, the Canadian pro-choice movement wants you to think that it’s happening here. And that they’re the only bulwark against The Handmaid’s Tale in Canada. And they don’t mind muddying the waters a little by suggesting this may lead to revoking interracial marriage, gay marriage, men swimming against women, etc.

Why is the Left so desperate to protect its sacred Roe v. Wade decision or Canada’s seminal 1987 Supreme Court decriminalization of abortion law? After all, the decision on Roe v. Wade does not mean an end to abortion in the U.S. or Canada. It means that all 50 U.S. states will once again regulate the process. Voters in deep blue states can keep their standards. And deep red state voters can keep their standards. Canada shows no sign of ever addressing the issue.

And yet Whoopi Goldberg— proud of her own seven abortions— is apoplectic. The protests are not really about conception or motherhood. Roe in 1973 instead signals the progressive Left’s triumph over capitalism– just as its 1960s Flower Power era was collapsing. Roe allowed the Left to rebound from the defeat of its violent radicalism. It gave radicals— particularly feminists— a rallying point, a hammer to use against the conservative right.

For decades a liberal SCOTUS upheld this advantage, allowing liberals to win decisions they couldn’t win at the voting booth. Until Donald Trump’s’ inductees swung the balance away from them. Losing  Roe would be a foundational loss to Trudeau, Biden, academia and the antifa left. Leaving decisions at the hands of… gasp… regular people instead of The View.

Until this rude intrusion, fogging the lens was easy to do in Canada, Thanks to the Media Party, Canadians think they have a legal right to unlimited abortion. And that their views are in keeping with other nations. Fact: There is no legal right to abortion in Canada since 1987. The Supremes decriminalized the procedure but told Canada’s politicians to solve the issue. Since then they’ve done nothing.

Fact: The United States and Canada are reportedly two of only seven nations that allow elective abortions after 20 weeks post-fertilization. Yeah, Trudeau and Kim Jong-Un, soul brothers.

To placate his base, Trudeau pretends he has a right to force anyone wanting to run for the Liberals or receive federal funds to be absolutist pro-choice. With his pillow mates, the NDP, he reflects not the general population but the refined attitudes of the Media Party (which Trudeau has paid off to make this point).

Fact: In a 2020 DART Poll 70 percent of Canadians think abortion should be illegal in the last trimester; 84 percent support a law against sex-selective abortion. How does the absolutist creed represent the nation?

Pro choice advocate Joyce Arthur admits, ‘if specific questions are asked about exactly when fetal life should be protected, women’s so-called ‘complete freedom’ to have abortions appears to take a sudden nosedive.” Which is why the media have sequestered their target audience of fanatical college professors and gender-studies acolytes from the realities of abortion. The young Pro-Choice zealots who share cute kittens and puppies on TikTok couldn’t watch 10 seconds of a 30-week abortion procedure without barfing.

As journalist John Steigerwald, writes, this is all media fog. “You’re’ either OK with killing an unborn human or you’re not. Your reason for being OK with it doesn’t change the fact that you’re OK with it. Your reason doesn’t make the baby any less dead.”

The foofaraw has had one saving grace. This debate about a woman’s rights takes place just as the same radicals couldn’t even define a “woman”.  Suddenly “birthing persons” are women again. And President Joe Autocue gave away the grift about zygotes versus child in the womb, saying, “To say that no one can make the judgment to choose to abort a child based on a decision by the Supreme Court, I think goes way overboard.” So we have that going for us. It’s a child.

To further obfuscate on an issue they wish were settled law, pro choice advocates like Planned Parenthood paint the picture of heartless adoption as no option for mothers. But the heartbreak of losing your child forever at birth is an outdated nightmare.

With so many families desperately wanting adoption, mothers can now negotiate access to their child, and even visitation rights. (At a recent wedding, both the adoptive parents and natural mother were happily in the congregation for their daughter’s big day.)

In desperation, the purchased Canadian media insist the issue is a loser at the polls. But as we wrote here in 2018 public sentiment is changing. “… medical innovation has shifted the issue since Canada’s pols ran like Brave Sir Robin away from the fight. In today’s world, 50 to 70 percent of babies born at 24 to 25 weeks— and more than 90 percent born at 26 to 27 weeks— can survive. Conditions such as Down Syndrome are no longer seen as socially acceptable reasons to terminate a pregnancy. There is a real need for children for adoption.

In short, the 1980s feminist all-or-nothing standard on abortion feared by politicians has been trumped by a more nuanced reality. All these factors have lurked in the background as the public debate was stilled.”

Hence the alacrity from Canada’s elite liberals and their media chuckleheads at the news that the U.S. may return birth rights to voters in the states. Any compromise brings down their house. Expect a long, bitter fight through the midterm elections in November.
