If a Sikh came out and waffled on abortion rights, then yes.  Turf their ass.   ::)

Nonsense.  Neither of you read my first response to this.

So it’s completely fair, given Scheer’s record as a politician to try and legislate his religious views on others, to ask questions about it.

Please show me where Singh has ever tried to legislate, talked about legislating or espoused any sort of social conservative religious view.  The difference between the two is vast.  Stop ignoring what the politician has actually said and done in the House.  Scheer also gives speeches about how great social conservatism is to religious rightwing groups.  Totally fair to ask questions about this.

 The "Campaign Life Coalition" claims they elected 46 anti-abortion MPs.  When rightwing religious groups brag about how many MPs they have in their pocket...  well...  people are going to ask questions.

Scheer could certainly have handled this better but I have noticed over the years that the only time a political leader's personal religious views become an election issue is when they are a conservative, everyone else gets a pass. They aren't even questioned, let alone challenged, immunity goes with the label.

If Scheer or any other leader wants to allow a private member bill, that's fine with me as long as it is a free vote. If you are concerned about free votes you should pay more attention to your candidates beliefs than their leader's.

The Supreme Court already ruled  the abortion provision of the Criminal code violated the Charter of Rights. Why do you think any other legislation wouldn't suffer the same fate.
