Have a look @ this page before you guarantee that 50 Conservative MPs wouldn't vote for a total abortion ban.

Now I do have to agree that it would be greatly suprising if 154 Conservative MPs would, and it is also true that some Liberals are very anti abirtion. But generally I do think that it can be said that as a group the Conservative caucus is more anti abortion and that the Liberal causus is more pro abortion.

You will have to do a hell of a lot better than than a very biassed report from a lobby group with a definite agenda on a less than balanced website.
That said, It is rather obvious that you are more likely to find a social conservative in the Conservative party. They have to support someone. Hell, it is one of the reasons why I support the Conservatives. The point is, they only represent a small part of the party, not the whole, and their ideas will not come to pass on the simple reason that Canadians dont want such issues to pass. If Harper and the CPC were to allow such a group to get such a bill through the house without strong support for such an action, Harper would end his tenure as a one term prime minister with the Liberals virtually guaranteed majorities for another decade at least.

OK...fair enough...how about
http://campaignlifecoalition.com or
www.lifesite.net ?
If you go through their news archives, they talk about how over a dozen pro life MPs were added to the roster after the last election, about voting records, including one in 2003 that had over 50 then Alliance MPs voting in favor of the Commons Health Committee looking at abortion.
Doctrinistic social conservatives are the main reason that this voter, who couldn't wait to vote PC when he turned 18, now looking to see if there is another party that better suits my beliefs.
