The unborn do deserve political attention. Just not the kind they're getting - The Globe and Mail ⇒

On Sunday, Industry Minister James Moore was asked how Canada should address the fact that one in seven children currently live in poverty: his answer was to spout platitudes about how wealthy a country this is, then let out a chuckle while asking “Is it my job to feed my neighbour’s child? I don’t think so.†It’s not hard to figure out the real priority of Conservative motions on the unborn – and ensuring that the country’s fetuses grow into healthy babies and happy children is not it.
It’s easy to forget if you aren’t paying too much attention that the Conservative Party in Canada really is staffed by a bunch of full-on assholes.
