Activists urge Tories to reopen abortion issue
The hidden agenda and the neocon fringe are starting to show. Time to get rid of this clown.Several thousand anti-abortion activists rallied on Parliament Hill Thursday to call on Stephen Harper's government to restrict abortion.
Demonstrators at the annual March for Life called for a new law limiting access to abortion.
But Conservative backbench MPs who favour such a controversial move say it's unlikely to happen any time soon, if at all.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper campaigned on a platform to not change Canada's abortion laws, and the Prime Minister's Office Thursday said it has no plan to reopen the issue.
More than a dozen Conservative and Liberal backbench MPs, along with several senators, spoke at Thursday's rally, urging the crowd to keep up their fight.
Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott and Liberal MP Tom Wappel told CTV's Mike Duffy Live the issue should be reopened and laws should be rewritten.
