The appalling push for abortion to "help" women and children

by ensuring there are fewer of them, especially fewer poor children.

The Liberals put out this appalling news release yesterday:

Liberals are concerned that Stephen Harper’s maternal health initiative will not
fund organizations that advance women’s rights to reproductive choice and access
to birth control.

Reproductive choice is a euphemism for abortion and no one on the left is willing to talk about the damage abortion does to women, mentally, physically or socially. What's abortion got to do with helping women deliver babies safely and ensuring their offspring survive past the age of five? How does killing their kids before they're born help them? As Kate McMillan writes at Small Dead Animals:

Someone really needs to get him on the record answering that question. (Just
think of the photo op ... "Prime Minister Michael Ignatieff at the Morgentaler
Clinic, Port-Au-Prince ribbon cutting".)

I hope my friend Ezra Levant does not mind if I steal his whole blog post on this. Here goes:

What's
the first thing you think of when you see all those poor Haitian kids?

Stephen Harper's reaction
Send food, medicine and relief workers.
Be amongst the first in the world to help. Dispatch our disaster response team within
hours of the earthquake.
Save every child you can.
Make a personal example of donating, encourage other Canadians to donate, and match those private donations.
Host an international Haiti relief conference.
Pledge to make the upcoming G8 meeting about helping the
world's poor, especially moms with infants, by funding "clean
water, vaccinations and nutrition".

Michael Ignatieff's reaction "Liberals support the plan so
long as it includes abortion".

P.S.
Surely it's just a coincidence that Ignatieff's first major policy statement
about abortion has to do with Haiti and other Third World minorities, right? I
mean, it's not like Planned Parenthood was founded by a racist woman who called
blacks "reckless breeders" and had a special "Negro Project" right? I mean, Planned Parenthood would never argue that eugenics was the best solution
of racial, political and social problems would they?
Right?
