The Liberals denied Rachel Harder the Status of Women chair because she's comely, young, and smart. A 'contendah', so to speak. The Liberals won't give her a moment in the spotlight if they can help it.

Worse yet, Ms. Harder seems all-Canadian on the issue of abortion. By that I mean her views don't seem ideologically-driven. She's for a woman's right to choose, but isn't comfortable with the Liberal's Wild West approach, which is abortion-on-demand up to the moment of conception.

As Canadians we have no rights that aren't subject to reasonable limitations, with but one exception: the right of a woman to have an abortion whenever she chooses up to the moment of natural birth. I propose that we're long overdue in scientifically and ethically examining the issue of abortion. It's a topic that's worthy of our time and consideration.
