The House Of Commons Wednesday Evening: Abortion Procedures

Status Of Women Minister Rona Ambrose Dept: In a vote of 203 to 91, Motion 312 was defeated in the House of Commons Wednesday evening, according to CTV. In the months leading up to the vote, Woodworth argued that the motion was not an attempt to criminalize abortion procedures in Canada and mPs voted down a Conservative backbencher s motion that sought to resurrect the abortion debate Wednesday, but 10 cabinet ministers were able to show their support for the motion, including Immigration Minister Jason Kenney and Status of Women Minister Rona Ambrose. The private member s bill was put forth by Kitchener Centre MP Stephen Woodworth. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
