Rona Ambrose and Motion 312

In the immediate aftermath of Motion 312’s defeat, the most scrutinized vote seems to belong to Rona Ambrose, the minister responsible for the status of women.

Truly disturbing.PM promises not to reopen abortion debate&then allows his Min Status of Women votes in favour of motion #cdnpoli #choice

#M312 defeated 203 to 91. A 2 to 1 vote…resounding victory 4 women. Did the Status of Women’s Minister vote for the motion?

Surprised the Conservative minister for Status of Women voted against a woman’s right to choose

Shocked that Min of Status of Women supported clawing back women’s rights. Time for a new Minister. Time for an NDP Government #M312 #ndp
