The heading to this article<\/a> could easily by edited to read, \u201cAbortion absolutists run out of arguments\u201d with a pull quote of, \u201cAs more U.S. states consider fetal protection legislation, those who support the status quo are sounding increasingly silly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The column I\u2019m referring to was written by National Post writer, Jesse Kline. In it he describes how numerous U.S. states are legalizing recreational marijuana use as pot prohibitionists run out of arguments.<\/p>\n

Why is it that so many Canadians feel at ease looking to the U.S. for guidance when it comes to public policy for this subject (or assisted suicide – can anyone say \u2018Oregon\u2019?) but when it comes to advances made for pre-born human rights we refuse to learn anything?<\/p>\n

Three individual states have considered, or are in the process of considering changes to drug policy regarding pot use. If this is reason for Canada to consider following suit, than the fact that 41 states protect children before birth after a specific point in the pregnancy than it should be reason enough for Canada to immediately pass a late-term abortion law.<\/p>\n

Truth be told there is more to Kline\u2019s article. He also refers to the lack of arguments in favour sustaining the status quo. This is all the more certain for the status quo on abortion. Not only are abortion absolutists running out of arguments, there is none left! Canada\u2019s position is untenable. It can\u2019t be supported by science or logic. And it certainly isn\u2019t supported by how the rest of the world handles public policy regarding pre-born human rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
