We go to press tomorrow and I’m working on the fnal story on the Liberal Party’s motion to require the Conservative government’s maternal health initiative to include contraception and abortion. (The motion doesn’t say abortion but that is what the party and their NGO advisors mean when they say ‘reproductive health’.) Liberal MP Keith Martin in his contribution to this vital debate offered this nugget: “Doesn’t pro-life mean the ability to access safe abortions?” Can Martin himself believe such nonsense? Does he think he will persuade anyone with such a comment?
