More on Hudak and abortion
Every vote counts.
Every vote counts.
Given the media is being granted access to Trost, I think PMO may be in on it. Just speculating, of course.
Why is this relevant to provincial politics? Because even when conservative leaders swear not to “reopen” abortion debate, it always seems like they find a way to do it.
He’s still amazingly silent on the issue. I did notice today that the Campaign Life Coalition is planning a post-election rally to defund abortion services at Queen’s Park - will Tim Hudak attend?
We don’t trust him. On anything.
My personal favorite is “staggeringly weak.” More to come…
“Hudak, as a politician looking to run Ontario’s medical system, should state his position. In delaying doing that, he looks weak, inexperienced and uncomfortable with the issue.” (Ottawa Citizen, July 27, 2011)
“Hudak can’t run away from this issue and he shouldn’t try. He has to be honest and have the courage to say what he believes.” (Toronto Star, August 1 2011)
“When pressed by reporters Monday, Mr.Hudak refused to answer whether he still considers himself “pro-life.” (National Post, July 19, 2011)
“[Hudak] believed things about abortion in the past, and there’s no reason to believe he doesn’t believe them now. So the idea that he “may have” signed a pro-life coalition is just staggeringly weak.” (National Post, July 20, 2011)
Heather Mallick nails it - great article on abortion. Tim Hudak should be getting very nervous.
The one thing that can kill the Tories is to be caught out on a social issue and there’s nothing like abortion in terms of a social issue.
