Anti-Abortion Candidates Need Not Apply in 2015, Justin Trudeau Says
CBC ^ | 5/8/14 | Susana Mas

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says all candidates running for nomination to represent the Liberal Party in 2015 will have to support the party's pro-choice position, but that the same rule does not apply to sitting MPs.

"I have made it clear that future candidates need to be completely understanding that they will be expected to vote pro-choice on any bills," Trudeau said Wednesday following his party's weekly caucus meeting in Ottawa.

Trudeau said that rule, however, does not apply to current members of Parliament because they were vetted under a different nomination process.

"The existing MPs ... will be respected to a certain extent in their choices, but our position as a party is we do not reopen that debate," Trudeau told reporters.

The Liberal leader said it is part of the screening process to ask candidates where they stand on a number of issues, ranging from same-sex marriage to abortion.

"We make sure that the people who are stepping forward are consistent with the Liberal Party as it is now, as it stands under my leadership and under the feedback we're getting from Canadians across the country."

Trudeau insisted his party is committed to open nominations, but that does not prevent him from screening candidates.

Pro-choice is feeling GOOD and justified about murdering a woman's own flesh and blood, her baby.

I am STILL amazed at how convoluted, ugly and sinful some women are. What is almost worse is their feelings of justification and righteousness in which they blanket themselves.

There never has been, isn't and never will be justification for abortion murder.

The first thing he'll do when he gets there is say, "Hi, Dad."

Death is their party platform. Let them have death. There are other parties. Let them swim or sink on their immoral choice.

The Liberal Party owed a century of dominance in Canadian politics by being a big-tent party, capable of accomodating left, right and centre, economic and social liberals and conservatives alike, and tacking with the prevailing political winds without alienating its other supporters.

Pierre Trudeau, for all of his arrogance, understood that.

Justin Trudeau has demonstrated he neither understands what made the Liberal Party successful nor how to form a coalition within his own party.

In fact, under Justin Trudeau’s own criteria, his own father would not be accepted as a Liberal candidate, because even he didn’t support wholly unrestricted abortion.

Trudeau, Sr., wrecked Canada, and it took a whole generation to recover. Let’s hope that Trudeau, Jr., doesn’t get a chance to do it again.

Get out of the Trudeaus!

They are trying to make being pro baby hate speech.

History will judge the religion of our day rather harshly. Even the Romans, who where very bloody minded, hated the Carthaginian practice of child sacrifice.

1.33 billion innocent defenseless little boys and girls have been murdered since 1980. That is the equivalent of 121 Holocausts (11 million each), just since 1980.

We’ve already murdered over 15 million children this year alone, and it is only mid May.

How can anyone believe God is in the minds and hearts of mankind, in general, any longer?
