To me, it was a pretty smart move by Harper to try to show that his party wasn't a bunch of nuckle dragging knee jerkers socially conservative types.
I'm honestly surprised that Harper didn't bring this up.

This is specifically why I and other knuckle draggers I know will not be voting for Harper this year. As far as we're concerned this killed any hopes of a hidden agenda. Honestly, if it weren't for blind partisanship on the part of Liberal supporters I'm pretty sure they would see it for what it is as well.
It's also very disconcerting that someone so supposedly against abortion like Calgaryborn would ignore this. It makes him look fairly hypocritical, IMO.
