TERRACE, British Columbia, April 27, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) A British Columbia Green party candidate in Canadas upcoming federal election said hes glad he decided to get rid of his unborn child and appeared to imply that pregnant women look like the back end of a bus.
I am sick to death about hearing murdering babies, said Roger Benham, Green candidate for Skeena-Bulkley Valley, in a candidates debate April 20th. He told the audience that he had conceived a child with a woman when he was 25. Thank God we decided to get rid of it, he said, according to the Terrace Standard.
Still speaking on abortion, Benham said: Really, we do silly things when were young. ... and Im sorry, but a lot of us men are bloody selfish when it comes to having sex.
We think its nice enough to have a condom on and lo and behold ... we get with a woman who looks like the back end of a bus, he added.
Benhams support for abortion aligns with the Green partys policy, which states that they oppose any possible government move to diminish the right of a woman to a safe, legal abortion.
The party is also committed to ensuring that Canadas maternal health programs do not limit access to any form of family planning and primary health care, including access to safe, legal abortions.
The partys position was reinforced earlier this month by Green party leader Elizabeth May, who said that she was anxious to correct the false impression that shes anything less than fully supportive of abortion. Insisting shes very militant in promoting access to abortion, May told the Georgia Straight that there is no room for going backwards on abortion.
A women has a right to make that choice, and its not a morally wrong decision by any means, she said.
LifeSiteNews.com did not hear back from Benham or May by press time.
Benhams comments sparked a firm rebuke from Rod Taylor, candidate for the Christian Heritage Party (CHP). No human being is the back end of a bus, and that includes the unborn child in the womb, Taylor said, according to the Terrace Standard.
We need to show compassion to the young and we need to teach them good choices, he added.
The CHP is Canadas only federal party dedicated to promoting the right to life of the unborn and reinstating the true definition of marriage.
While the Green party expects its candidates to uphold its position on abortion, Saskatoon-Wanuskewin Green candidate Mark Bigland-Pritchard told Campaign Life Coalition that the party does allow conscientious dissent. In a written response to CLCs election questionnaire, Bigland-Pritchard said he believes that life begins at conception and that despite his disagreement with their policy the Green party allowed him to run.
Bigland-Pritchard added, however, that he opposes the criminalization of abortion, maintaining that such a law couldnt be enforced and abortions would continue under substantially less safe conditions (for the mother). He said he would instead strive to eliminate the reasons that lead to women choosing abortion, naming inadequate sex education and, particularly, poverty.
God will see it differently you murdering bastard.
What a vile excuse for a human being.
What a vile excuse for a human being.
How can a man get rid of an unwanted child?
I’m sure that there are males who paid 18 years of child support and never had a say in the matter.
Adulterers like Bill Clinton like having a way to snuff out the little bastards too.

So why do HEALTH professionals advocate for encouraging teen sexual experimentation when they are still IRRESPONSIBLE CHILDREN?
Fortunately, we can expect zero Green Party candidates to be elected.
The casualty count in anbortion is always 1 dead, 1 wounded.
Man has a sick soul. I mean dark, evil, twisted, dripping with decay type of soul.

No, thank Molloc.

Sounds like a Nazi.
Some lives are just not worth living...

What a selfish, immature SOB.
You'll see just how God appreciates what you've done, murderer.
The Green Party Candidate said he was 25 when he impregnated his then hook-up.
He was 25 and didn't know how babies were made or how and where to procure birth control?
Was he in poverty at the time? Would he have been unwilling to man up his cost of raising the kid?
While it’s in vogue to mock the killing of nascent life, only a fool would mock the back end of a bus.
The biggest supporters of abortions are liberal male jackasses.
I wonder on mothers day if he will tell his mom she looked like the rear end of a bus when she carried him...
I pray that God close the womb of any woman he desires a child with in the future
