Liberals and NDPers: don't worry about Mr. Scheer. He won't risk division among Conservatives by raising the issues of abortion or same sex marriage even if principle is on his side. They should be raised because the child in the womb is, at some point, a human being and therefore deserving of those fundamental rights that every human being has, including the right to security. The Liberals and NDP don't believe in fundamental (a priori) rights and that can be criticized. The law that unilaterally expanded marriage to include homosexual couples removed, at the same time, the right of the heterosexual population to have an exclusive rite for uniting a man and a woman. Fundamental rights argue that any group has the right to have an institution that manifests anything about themselves that they choose.
