In 2007, the Executive of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) issued a statement that medical technologies for the sole purpose of gender identification in pregnancy should not be used to accommodate societal preferences, and that the SOGC does not support termination of pregnancy on the basis of gender. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia also echoed the SOGC’s view.

So these folks are in contempt of Parliament because they don't agree?

Seems to me it is a pretty empty gesture, they are just kicking the can to the medical profession.

Somebody should ask the SOGC if they support the termination of a pregnancy on the basis of finding the father in bed with someone else.

If you support it for any reason, you have to support it for every reason.

I agree.  That's why I find the notion of vetting a choice such a strange one.

I guess doctors have choices too.

::)

So just to be clear, You're of the opinion that people can't evolve from opinions that haven't aged well?

If you were on record of being against Gay marriage in 2005, you can't suddenly say you're for it now and not receive political blowback.
Has Scheer changed his position? Afaik, he hasn’t said so. You’re making an assumption.

I also expect my PM and anyone in government to actually be actively in favour of human rights, not just put up with them because they have to.   Being a bigot excludes you from holding office, in my opinion, so I like to know what their personal views actually are.
Except freedom of religion. You actively reject that human right. So I guess you just mean the human rights that you agree with.

This is a question I could never understand.  Why be pro-choice if you think you have a right to question the choice? 

A woman should be able to have an abortion for whatever reason she likes.

Really?  "My health is in jeopardy" is as ethical a choice to kill the unborn as "i don't want a girl/boy"?

I believe that women should able to control their own bodies, but when that body is connected to another body that was created through the woman's own willful choices, well things get a lot more complex.

Do you think only women whose health is in jeopardy should be allowed to have abortions?  It's one view on the issue, but not one I suscribe to.

"the woman's own wilful choices"? It takes two to tango and you just contradicted yourself. Next...

No, I think there's a variety of reasons where abortions are ethical.  But i don't want to this thread to become an abortion debate.

Yes, it also takes the choices of two to create a baby, unless the woman is ****.
