Wow. That was impressive. Yesterday, twenty-two bloggers participated in the ‘One body. One person. One count’ blog-burst in opposition to Ken Epp’s private member’s bill, C-484, a back-door attempt to create fetal rights as the necessary first step in recriminalizing abortion.
Some, including Scott Tribe and In the House and Senate, posted a few days earlier.
We at Birth Pangs were pleased to see the turn-out by the usual Vicious Abortion Crusaders. 
But we were very pleased to read this from Blast Furnace Canada. Blast Furnace is Catholic, Liberal, and, soi-disant, ‘pro-life’. But BF is obviously rational with the concomitant bullshit-spotting ability.
For the record and in no particular order, here’s the list of participants. (We’ve no doubt missed some. Please let us know and we’ll add.)
Justice is a woman with a sword
The Vanity Press
Prole at A Creative Revolution
These blog posts represent the best of the progressive blogosphere, taking on all the ways this proposed legislation stinks — legally, morally, practically, medically, logically, allegorically, and musically.
Most of those above, plus others including Benediction Blogs On and Rational Reasons, also responded quickly to the CALL-OUT here earlier this month.
One more: while not part of the blog-burst per se, today We move to Canada caught a cable telly call-in show, in which Ken Epp ‘shows his hand’.
Thanks again to all. And keep up the good work. Debate on the bill is scheduled for this Friday, February 29, with a vote expected March 5.
UPPITY-DATE: A new blog, dichotomously, by another BnR member.
UPPITY DATE 2: Oopsie. Epp’s motivation revealed. More from the We move to Canada link above by Scott Tribe and Unrepentant Old Hippie. Ha. Keep it comin’, folks.
UPPITY DATE 3: alison@creekside
Sorry I missed the blogburst….i was sick with the flu for the last 4 days and just didn’t get near the computer all that much…
Yabbut, Mike, you were there at the beginning of this campaign, and, if I recall correctly, you changed at least one mind with your post. If only each of us could change one mind. . .
Hope you’re feeling better.
Thanks for the kind words, Fern. Let’s hope this blogburst has the desired effect.
You’re openly welcome, Blast Furnace. People who can think need to resist those who would try to deceive us in whatever cause.
(I tried to comment at your place, but I don’t have the right sort of account. Also, I am a technodolt.)
