What we’re not talking about
The realities of abortion in Tanzania are brutal. Canadian aid groups are confused and concerned. And a Liberal MP says a vote on abortion is inevitable.
The Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada apparently figures there are 124 "pro-choice" MPs and 120 "anti-abortion" MPs in the current Parliament, with 64 votes unaccounted for (a "pro-life" rally on Parliament Hill last week drew approximately 20 MPs). Though given the divergent views on the topic—as noted by Chris Selley—those titles might be overly simplified.
