Apparently the you’ve got to be kidding party’s pro-abortion spokeswoman du jour, MP Irene Mathyssen, doesn’t know what laws are and aren’t “on the books” in Canada.
She told Canadians on CTV’s Question Period show this morning that “for all of these years, um, we’ve we’ve had, um, on the books, the law that was indicates that a woman has the right to choose”.
Of course (the stammering and word-phrasing aside) she’s exactly wrong.
As she described it, there is exactly no such law “on the books”, or on the floor, or up on the roof, or hangin’ on the wall, or anywhere else in Canada. There is only the law that was flushed down the toilet, to join the other culture of life and family ideals (which liberals think of as “poops”) for which Canadians once stood, proudly, by liberals appointed by liberals to the liberal’s Supreme Court of Canada division to pull the flush lever.
There is only a lack of any law limiting abortion in this country “on the books”, such that as it stands now, a woman can have an abortion at any time in any pregnancy—even 5 minutes before the the baby might be naturally born at nine months—as many times as she wants, for any reason or no reason whatsoever, all paid for by taxpayers. There is simply no law limiting abortion. “On the books”.
And that’s because the Court said that the law as it did exist (on the books) at the time wasn’t right for them, the appointed know-it-alls, and they put the responsibility back into the hands of elected legislators to come up with a better law; which the elected legislators have all subsequently abjectly failed to do, much as they have failed us in so many other ways, because they’re deathly afraid of the hard liberal-left and it’s media division.
Here’s part of the chat they had on CTV Question Period today:
CTV’s Bob Fife: …Do you think this was a good appointment and a well deserved one?
NDP MP Irene Mathyssen: Yes in fact I think it was long overdue! And if you step back, uh, the decision that was made in regard to a woman’s right to choose, was made over 25 years ago when the Supreme Count basically, um, set aside the conviction of Henry Morgentaler, and so for all of these years, um, we’ve we’ve had, um, on the books, the law that was indicates that a woman has the right to choose. And, um, Morgentaler led that battle…..
Mathyssen is the brilliant one who I last blogged about on January 23 of this year. I wrote:
Good column by Ian Gillespie at the London Free Press today highlights what I would call the dangerous, hysterical, alarmist, illogical, perhaps even deceitful stupidity of the NDP’s Irene Mathyssen. Unfortunately, Gillespie failed to identify her as a member of the NDP. No worries: I’ll help fill the gap. She’s a socialist.
This is the same Irene Mathyssen who hysterically attempted to slime a good Conservative MP recently for viewing “pornography” in the House of Commons. He was showing a fellow MP a picture of his dog playing with his girlfriend. After sliming him and smearing him publicly in the House, she later saw fit to apologize. (See my blog entry entitled “NDP woman rises on point of order: I’m a moron”. And a follow-up here).
Mathyssen is also the one who, as the you’ve got to be kidding party’s critic for “the status of women”, infamously said last September that women in Canada “are now under attack economically, socially and politically.”
Mathyssen is also the one who infamously tried, in February of last year, to hand deliver a Valentine’s Day heart-shaped box — containing not chocolates but a scathing, critical “poem” all about “womens’ rights” or the supposed lack thereof in this oh-so oppressive nation — directly to the personal residence of Prime Minister and Mrs. Harper. She was turned away by security. Probably men. Damn men. Probably straight men. Damn homophobes.
Protesters on wrong track on this one
[…]
The protest was organized by a group called Students Against Queer Discrimination, and much of its pique was focused on question No. 18 on the form everyone fills out when they want to donate blood: “Male donors: Have you had sex with a man, even one time since 1977?”The protesters believe this question discriminates against gay men. Local MP Irene Mathyssen apparently agrees, since she joined the protesters and asked, “Why on Earth would we ever allow homophobia?”
Here’s a news flash for Mathyssen and those protesters: This isn’t homophobia. It’s life-and-death common sense.
It would appear Mathyssen and the protesters have never heard of a little something called the Krever inquiry, a 10-year criminal probe into Canada’s worst preventable public health disaster.

“Scientific evidence says the highest-number of HIV-infected (people) are men who’ve had sex with another man,” says Cindy Graham, regional communications manager, Southern Ontario, with Canadian Blood Services. “It’s close to 40 per cent.
