Although that wasn't the Libs or Martin fear mongering perhaps some are starting to be more concerened and not perhaps by him but by the party.

The fact is the only MPs to have tried to put forth abortion legislation in recent years are Liberal MPs. It's been repeated over and over and over again but somehow it never sinks in. Both the Liberal and Conservative parties have members who want to make it illegal (same with same-sex marriage..there are 40 liberal candidates that are openly against same-sex marriage), and that there is no way you can stop a private member bill from being tabled. However, it is all but impossible for a private members bill that isn't on something trivial to ever become law. He has answered the other day that he would do eveything in his power as party leader to not allow aboriton to get tabled.
