Don't support anti-democratic motion

Motion M-312 from Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth is reprehensible and Merv Tweed should not be a signator to such an anti-democratic attempt to backhand the reproductive rights, responsibilities and freedom of all Canadian women.

Mr. Tweed should stand against this and protect the existing women’s rights and vote NO to Motion M-312. To put his name to this bill is an obsequious and cowardly act. I am confident that the people in Brandon-Souris will remember his betrayal upon his obvious orders to do so.

Give women and their men credit for being masters of their own bodies. Fathers are the silent fools in this archaic debate; they are left out of the equation and they should be the only outside one’s to make such a serious decision ... for it’s they who are commanded — some by God and all by the family courts — to hold up the their half of the households where children live, learn and grow.
