Well at least he used the "A" word once.
Hillary did not say full access to abortion and only LEGAL abortions.It is not clear to me what that really means.
He picked a bad day to have a bad day.

Here we go with the phoney-baloney pseudo-progressive crap.
Since the Sierra Club and other environmentalists worked to ban spraying DDT to fight malaria in the Third World, over 50 million have died needlessly, with that number increasing by 2 million a year.
Every year in Africa, 6 million women and children die, according to the World Health Organization, from respiratory disease caused by indoor cooking fires because the environmentalists fight the development of electrictiy for Africa.
Why do those millions of deaths not rate a mention? Only a certified idiot believes championing abortion rights while ignoring millions of preventable deaths means you're a caring, liberal person.
Let's have Canada committ to spraying DDT once a year in buildings in the Third World. There would be no one to protest it, because the left cares so much about human life.

@nuna: You are drawing a false contradiction. What you propose does not in any way require that reproductive health measure not be undertaken at the same time. You can have both A and B.

Hey nuna, care to have your kids play in a DDT-sprayed park? They might turn into cute little boy tadpoles.

Anonymous 1:11 has reading and comprehension problems. I mentioned spraying DDT in buildings once a year. A few years ago South Africa took up spraying DDT again and cut malaria deaths by 50 per cent in the first year.
Sadly, there are idiots who want to mouth slogans about "choice", pretending it makes them "progressive", while cheerfully letting millions die of malaria.

"Full reproductive health services" -- please. Why doesn't Ignatieff say what abortion really does: kill babies. Awful. Only a liberal (or Liberal) would try and frame it as some clinical narrative "full reproductive services". Sorry Ignatieff, you mean sucking a baby out of the womb. I don't want my tax dollars supporting that.
By Irritable Canadian, at 6:56 p.m.
I admit I'm hesitant to support DDT spraying... I hear a lot of bad things about DDT. But I do not pretend to be an expert on the subject.
I don't want my tax dollars supporting that.
How about condoms and other contraceptives like that? Abortion is sad, but I'm always down with allowing people to fuck their brains out and not have to have a baby without choosing to have a baby.
