Ha. Further evidence that Canuckistan is not like The Excited States.
CBC reports that a couple of fetus fetishists got spanked today.
The B.C. Court of Appeal has dismissed a challenge to the so-called bubble-zone law aimed at protecting women’s access to abortion clinics in the province.
Donald David Spratt and Gordon Stephen Watson mounted the constitutional challenge after they were convicted of violations under the Access to Abortion Services Act in August 2000.
Spratt and Watson were convicted because they protested within an “access zone” prohibited under the law outside a Vancouver abortion clinic. They carried signs and spoke against abortion to women entering and leaving the Everywoman’s Health Centre, which first opened in 1988 and had been a continuing target of anti-abortionists.
They tried to appeal before but their case was dismissed. Then they tried the ‘free speech’ gambit.
The B.C. Court of Appeal ruling on Thursday said that while the right to oppose abortion is constitutionally protected, the purpose of the provincial law to protect vulnerable women and those who provide for their care justified limiting protesters’ rights.
Oooh, boo-hoo-hoo.
“Basically it means you have a two-tier system of justice,” Spratt said. “If you’re a profiler or an unborn baby in this society your rights mean nothing.”
We at Birth Pangs are pretty sure the fetus fetishist didn’t say ‘profiler’, but maybe one of the typists at the CBC has a sense of humour. 
profiler — hahahahaha.
The image of unborn babies stamping their feet in a huff has me amused. Maybe they should demand that they get registered in the Stats Can census so they can vote come election time.
“two-tier justice” … ?
It never ceases to amaze me how right-wing Cons keep stealing our arguments and our language to justify their wacko tactics.
Oh wait. That’s why they’re called Cons.
