We are all likely familiar with the war that our Conservative federal government is waging on organizations with which it does not see eye to eye.

Today, on Parliament Hill, the Radical Handmaids gather in opposition to Motion 312, the anti-choice motion that seeks to redefine when human life begins. The Motion will be debated in the House of Commons on Thursday. The Handmaids' action, based on Margaret Atwood's novel, The Handmaid's Tale, is sure to be an interesting one.

Sporting red garments and "Flying Nun" hats in an allusion to Margaret Atwood's classic novel The Handmaid’s Tale, the Handmaids are protesting Bill M-312 as a regressive attack on women.

Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith can pass off reports of her party's (half) hidden abortion agenda as scare mongering, and she can try to throw the party official who apparently accidentally raised it under the bus, but there's legitimate reason to fear.

Abortion is a divisive issue that arouses passions on both sides and is therefore political dynamite for any politician who dares take a clear position. So Wildrose campaign manager Tom Flanagan must have been laughing up his sleeve at the inability of voters, media and even pro-choice activists to connect the dots between what Wildrose was telling its social-conservative base and its pre-election silence for everyone else on the issue.
