The Harper Government has already been found to be in contempt of Parliament, so why would it surprise us it's also in contempt of parliamentarians -- even those, or perhaps especially those, from its own party?

I speak, of course, of the brouhaha sparked by Mark Warawa, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Langley, B.C., who has asked House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer to rule that his Parliamentary privilege has been breached by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's suppression of his ability to speak to his private member's motion condemning sex-selection abortions.

the regina mom is getting rather sick and tired of the anti-abortion crowd's attacks on women's reproductive rights. They don't have a leg to stand on, and they know it, so they come out with backdoor attempts, overloaded with emotion, to restrict our access to a basic medical procedure.
