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.

While I have never tended to vote Liberal, I've known a few good Liberal MPs in the past whom I wouldn't have hesitated to vote for. Nor am I a one-issue voter. But this changed my mind. Junior just made the Liberal Party of Canada into the Official Pro-Death Party, and as long as he is at the helm I won't even consider a Liberal candidate on general principle.

The Constitutional principle of freedom of conscience doesn't count when you're one of Junior's MPs.

Choice is an option that one has over his/her own circumstances. When it involves the potential for a living, human being to emerge, it isn’t a matter of choice anymore; it is a situation where one’s actions affect the potential “choices” a new human [a soul] would have if it were allowed to exist.

To relegate any political contender’s viability to this absurd equivocation is wholly irrational and counter to the whole ‘victim’ genre that “big L” Liberals purport to protect. The basic evil of their duplicity is astounding, yet there are hordes of these evil people.

The definition of Liberal means you must support the death penalty for innocent children and oppose it for guilty mass murderers.

Actually when you think about it, there is no hypocrisy there. They are themselves mass murderers.

They are themselves mass murderers.

Interesting angle. By saving mass murderers, they can encourage wannabe mass murderers - we'll spare your life. The more you kill the better.

It seems no matter what liberals do, they encourage death... on TV, in movies, in abortion, euthanasia, no-gun-zones to help murderers efficiency, and now leniency for mass murderers.
