letter
Continued from page 4
we can make an easy decision that
human life begins only at a certain,
convenient point.
To say anything against the sole
right of a woman to decide if she
should or shouldn’t have an abor
tion is to be looked at as an enemy
of women’s progress by the forces
of Right. It’s ironic, however, that
the legal argument over the rights
of the fetus should revolve around
whether or not the fetus is a
“person” under the charter of
rights. One of the landmarks in the
progress of women in Canada was
when women were finally declared
“persons” under the constitutional
law, and determined to have the
same rights as men.
Even supporters of choice for a
woman will agree abortion should
be a last resort. There must be an
alternative for woman and this is
where the Pro-life side falls down
too often. Many Pro-lifers aren’t
just against abortion, they’re
against any kind of birth control.
But women cannot be expected in
this age when many must hold
down careers to keep the family in
food and clothes, to be slaves to the
whims of biology.
One can take pity on the poor
political leaders who must wrestle
with this issue this hot summer.
The art of politics is compromise
but both sides have shown no
willingness to compromise. For
each side, the answer is simple:
they’re right. No matter what kind
of law the government comes up
with, one side or the other (or both)
will be pushing to dismantle it.
Tiresome as the news is these
days, the abortion issue will con
tinue to haunt our headlines for the
foreseeable future. If any politician
can have the wisdom to get the two
sides to agree with anything, he
shouldn’t just be Prime Minister,
he should be king.
