| Message | Mr. Speaker, Government subsidies for contraception have reduced the number of abortions dramatically, given that more people would have access to it. On the issue of abortion itself, we find it curious that the ZFP is so eager to devolve powers over most other aspects of healthcare, but they take a restrictionist and unitarist position on abortion. The legality of abortion does not have any significant correlation to the number of abortions performed, but it does have a correlation with the number of deaths because of it. A legal, safe abortion, will kill one person. A back-alley illegal abortion will more than likely kill two. We are ashamed at our colleagues over this proposal, and we hope that they will vote it down, and return ith at least one part of this amended to some degree. Georgo Luska Leader of the Opposition. |
