A Bloc MP has just said she was just yesterday reading the 1988 Morgentaler decision which, she said, was “unanimous” in its decision overturning the existing abortion law and that Supreme Court acknowledged a right to abortion. It wasn’t unanimous (5-2) and only one justice (Bertha Wilson) said that there was a right to abortion, but even she acknowledged the right of Parliament to regulate or limit abortion. Not that the Morgentaler decision applies to the debate on this motion on international maternal and infant health, but it is notable that the pro-aborts are resorting to lying. That or they are incredibly ignorant.
The debate is done for now and the vote on the motion will likely take place after 5pm this evening.
