Rose:

Western Report, for its March 6 issue cover: Your health-care dollars don’t pay for vanity nose jobs, nor do they cover the cost of tummy tucks and liposuction.  If a man is sexually disoriented and wants to become a woman, he has to pay for it himself, and birth control is user pay too.  So why are we paying for abortion?

Thorn:

Paul Martin and his Budget ’95 planners. While Canadians were asked to pay large increases at the gas pump and endure deep unemployment and service cuts, funding to women’s groups, Planned Parenthood and the United Nations was left largely untouched.  How much longer will Canadians sit still while these useless programs are allowed to operate with precious taxpayers’ dollars?
