Since they're no longer a borderline catholic theocracy. They left a lot of young victims in the grounds in their orphanage homes. In principle it's the same approach the religious right is taking in American. Until it's born, it's holy. Once it's born, it can bloody well rot in the streets.
Point I was trying to make earlier. An abortion is an excommunicable offense; infanticide is not.

This ruling is not just going to affect the U.S. . Conservatives in Canada are going to see an opening to set up new abortion laws, and it is going to hurt them in the polls.
Unfortunately, most Canadians think the Supreme Court has upheld a woman's right to unrestricted abortion. That is not true. The ruling opened the door to a Roe vs. Wade type law, as long as abortion access, when legal, was available.
Right now there is no law in Canada. That means that it is up to a woman's beliefs and her doctor's medical ethics. This is the correct result, but it is not in law - it is the de-facto result of the lack of a law. Abortions in Canada could be partly restricted by government.

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out in the next USian election. The conservative-led court has just endorsed a position with which - depending on who is doing the polling - 70%-80% of Americans disagree.

In 10 years, those who are part of right-wing culture in the anti-abortion states may actually change their minds and like the new bans.
Familiarity and peer pressure can combine to make people comfortable with oppression.

You'd think, but the GOP are masters at fake outrage.
They’re legitimately outraged over the leak - they didn’t want the decision released until after the midterms. Now, they have to spend the next six months explaining why they pushed a policy that the overwhelming majority of Americans don’t like.

I’m not sure the Republicans can afford to wait ten years for that to happen - there’s a helluva lot of elections coming up between now and then.

They may disagree in principle, but they appreciate the overt power play even more.

Until one of their daughters, sisters or wives need a medical abortion, then they’ll be all, ‘I never thought the leopards would eat MY face!’ after voting for The Leopards Eating People’s Faces party.

That was going to be impossible the court ruling is in June, the election is in November.
