He only changed his tune in recent weeks.
What he needed to say was despite my personal beliefs I will vote to maintain the status quo if I were required to vote.
Even if he isn't going to re-open the topic he certainly doesn't sound like he would make access easier, and when you allow anti - abortion activists/protesters be representatives of your party you're also sending a clear signal.
Despite the fact that you might not care about the issue you can't downplay what those rights and that access means to some just like they shouldn't downplay what a pipeline means to some.
With the recent anti abortion laws that passed in several US states people have a right to be concerned.
For the record I legitimately believe that Scheer had no desire to re-open it but the way he answered the questions cost him because he was too much of a coward to step up and put his religious views to the side.
For me a candidate being overly religious is already a strike against, and it's the same for others whether that's a part of their platform or not. If I believe their religious views are going to influence their policy I'm out. Period.

Sigh...thats EXACTLY what he did say fer chrissakes. Its law. I mean Trudeau is a practicing catholic...what do catholics believe in regards to abortion?
Im entirely pro-choice and this didnt even cause a damn blink for me, but now that he has been re-elected I should fear he will change things right?
No? Is it because he has said he would never re-open the debate and that is good enough? OK then...same for both and this issue is now a non-issue...as i have said repeatedly.
And will you please leave US politics out of this stuff...has literally NOTHING to do with Canada. Just another false narrative the left has bought into, hook, line and sinker.
