re: Burn baby
I have the great good fortune to live in a country where, for most folks, abortion is a non issue. Not too much bs about the "rights of the unborn". We don't even have an abortion law. The question has been settled. It's about a woman's right to have access to a safe medical procedure paid for by the health care systems in the individual provinces, funded by tax transfers from the Federal Government and Provincial income taxes. This, in my opinion, is how it should be. Come to think of it; it's none of my goddam business, it concerns only a woman and her physician. Doctors are not forced to perform abortions, and some hospitals, the Hotel Dieu in Kingston for example, won't allow them ... go figure, eh.
Sure, we still have a bunch of placard waving Kevins who protest on Parliament Hill; but they make noise, and go away largely ignored. But, rather than worry about "the unborn" we should maybe give some thought to the thousands of kids who will starve to death today.
