How is it a blatant lie? There was nothing in the CPC platform about banning abortion, true, but many Conservative candidates are openly pro-life and Harper himself was quoted as saying during the last campaign that if the CPC formed the government, he would allow a free vote on the issue if it was introduced as a private member's bill. This is where the so-called "hidden agenda" meme got started; even though it wasn't explicitly stated in the party's policy, it's obvious that many Conservatives hold anti-abortion views (by their own account) and Harper stated quite bluntly that a government led by him would permit a free vote on the issue.
