THE ABORTION ISSUE IN PARLIAMENT:

I'M BEHIND BRUINOOGE: LETTER TO THE EDITOR

by Sean McIntyre
Red Deer Advocate, January 10 2009

Dear Editor:

I want to say publicly how happy I am that Canadian member of parliament Rod Bruinooge has stepped out, and taken a public stance to re-open an intelligent national debate on the issue of abortion as it stands in our nation. He represents a huge number of Canadians who object to Canada's total lack of legislation regarding abortion since 1988. 

I commend Mr. Bruinooge for his stance, and his willingness to put his name as a Canadian MP on the line, to be a voice for the voiceless in Canada. He is a rarity as a openly pro-life candidate, and serves as an inspiration to not only his constituency of Winnipeg South, but to all of Canada as someone who stands up for what he believes in when it counts. I want to thank Mr. Bruinooge for being brave enough to address this emotionally charged issue. We can only hope that more MP's will accurately represent the will of their own constituents, by representing their views on abortion as the debate for the unborn resurfaces in this country. Many Canadians are not happy with their government's lack of regulation and blind eye approach to abortion for over 20 years. 

Mr. Bruinooge, who now serves as the recently elected chair of the Parliamentary Pro-Life Caucus, aims to be an “advocate for the unborn and seek to have their value restored in my Canada.” He has my support, and respect.
