abortion

Stephen Maher: How the Conservative leader survived the first caucus meeting, as the party splits over the handling of social issues

Andrew Potter: In our liberal society, gay rights will not be denied or ever turned back. It’s something any leader of Canada has to get their head around.

Jacqueline Hansen: I am a middle-aged single mom from rural Quebec, and I feel invisible during this election campaign

The two main rivals faced off on the topic of social issues. It was one of the most compelling moments of the leaders debate.

Anne Kingston: Focus on a mythical debate has a serious consequence: it ignores the larger sweep of social conservative policies promoted by anti-abortion groups

Michael Coren: His religion says abortion is homicide and a ’grave sin.’ Can we believe Scheer when he says that, given the power to stop it, he simply won’t do so?

Anne Kingston: Watching an American evangelical movie is now part of covering Canadian politics. Let that sink in.

Alexandra Kimball: For centuries, the most effective way to control women’s bodies has been to tell lies about them, forming a public narrative that permeates every level of culture

Jen Gerson: Liberals are once again using abortion rollbacks in the U.S. as pretext for dire warnings about Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives. Guess there’s more than one bad movie in town.

Andrew MacDougall: An election looms and the Liberals are rallying around abortion. It’s a sure sign that something has gone badly wrong.
