Citizenship And Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: The Prime Minister S Office

Abortion Law Dept: Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said on Monday that he would support the motion, despite strong signals from the Prime Minister s Office that Mr. Harper does not want it to go forward. Mr. Kenney is joined by several Conservative backbenchers and at least one Liberal MP, according to Globe and Mail. In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the country s abortion law and suggested Parliament draft a new one in its place. Brian Mulroney s government tried to create a new law in 1990, but it was defeated in the Senate and video: Tory MP concedes anti-abortion bill lacks support Conservative MP Brent Rathgeber wrote a lengthly post on his website explaining his support for the motion. He noted that his views on abortion have been influenced by family members who have faced reproductive challenges, and he called himself pro-life in his personal beliefs. But he emphasized that he believes the debate should focus strictly on the question Mr. Woodworth put forward and stay away from making any decisions about abortion. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
