And ducks the issue of a PM from a country that doesn't even have an abortion law deciding that 'we' can't support them elsewhere.

If you want to support abortion abroad, donate to a private charity! There. If you want the Canadian taxpayers funding abortions abroad...try to get your political party to cause an election!

It's as disgusting as him personally deciding when he will stand up for Canadians or anyone else facing capital punishment and when he won't.

*Shrugs* Tell Canadians to not murder in US states with the death penalty then.

The issues have been decided, they are the stance of the country and it doesn't matter that he or anyone else doesn't like it, they have to stand by it.

Exactly. THIS issue has been decided, and it is the stance of the country that we're not going to fund abortions abroad. If you don't like it, get over yourself.

I am pro-choice. I believe that when abortion is prohibited, women's health/lives are put at risk. Canadians are safer now that abortion is legal. I also believe that this debate is over. It's been ruled on. And whether pro-lifers like that or not is tough shit...

...but, why in the hell is it Canadians' responsibility to pay for ANY medical procedures for foreigners? I don't want to pay for Rwandan abortions any more than I want to pay for Chinese flu shots or Americans' cancer treatments or British dentistry.
