Couple general comments to others.
Just because a party has a certain policy set (normally determined members) does not mean they day the get a majority all those things become law. They have to be implemented and passed thru the Legislature. Obviously most will try to prioritize and be only able to pass a few.
A good example of this is the PC's they have had a policy calling for fixed election dates for as long as I can remember. Yet their caucus refuses to bring it forward.
Second; you will not find anything in our policies about religion. I invite you to read them for yourself.

Thirdly; to set the record completely straight. We have never had a policy regarding abortion; nor do I ever recall one coming even as a proposal from our members.
We did at one time have a reference to SSM. It was actually
me who moved (at a policy convention) for it to be removed. And aside from a few cranky people it was carried successfully and removed. This is one I feel very strongly about as I have a relative who is in the GLBT community. I would never have anything to with a party that would try to marginalize these individuals in our society.
IMO, knowing what I do about our current members; neither of these will ever see the light of day in our party.
