Somehow this same logic does not seem to apply to C-484. Life Shite on C-543 : “But the law already has legal provisions recognizing the special situation of pregnant women.”

Such a provision seems ominous, given that neo-cons and fundamentalist religious organizations often defend the actions of violent husbands towards their wives by claiming that the (female) victims were emotionally abusive and manipulative, and that their alleged (male) assailants were unable to control their behaviour in the face of such provocation.

If it was me? And something someone did caused the end to a wanted pregnancy? Would I care that the sentencing was based on me, or the fetus? No. Normal people would just want to grieve a personal loss in peace. Yes they are going to "question" this bill, because it gives them a wedgie by completely circumventing their "hidden" (Ya right) intentions, and their real agenda. But they can't come RIGHT out and say that of course because they have spent so much time saying this ISN'T ABOUT ABORTION..... So this should be entertaining. And pathetic. Yanno. If it was me?
