The kerfuffle over Warawa's Wank is becoming even more FUN!
Another CON backbencher has been designated attack dog on this and calls the malcontents 'rogues'.
The Conservatives admit they have “rogues” within their party as one MP said his colleagues “must suffer the consequences” for their anti-abortion stance amid the most open show of rebellion under Prime Minister Stephen Harper to date.
He does have a point. All CON candidates campaigned knowing Harper's frequently repeated vow 'not to reopen the abortion debate'.
Yet they happily campaigned under the CON banner.
The NatPo quotes our pal Stephen Woodworth, he of Woodworth's Wank fame, and the noted anti-choice wordsmith does not disappoint.
“It may be that’s what’s at play here, that this abortionism philosophy has led the sub-committee members to put abortion above the independence of private members, above the right of Parliament to comment on an important issue, above the right of members to be able to vote on such an issue,” Kitchener MP Stephen Woodworth said Tuesday.
Abortionism?????
NounFor a longer nuttier explication of the term see Abortionism: American's New Established State Religion.
abortionism (uncountable)
1. The advocacy or practice of abortion.
Usage notes
This term appears to be used principally in pejorative fashion by opponents of abortion.
And for those who may have forgotten Woody's previous feat of wordsmithy, here again is his deathless M312, Fixed-Wing Technology and Ballooning.
The title of this blogpost comes from the NatPo story, quoting Bob Rae.
[Rae] agreed with Conservative backbenchers that there should be more freedom for MPs to speak their minds and to vote free of party discipline. It’s no surprise they’re finally rebelling against Harper’s iron control, Rae said.As I said: FUN!
“I think they’re annoyed and tired of the harness. I think they’re tired of having to respond to everything by acting like the Blue Army Chorus and I think they want to be able to speak their minds,” he said.
