Trudeau's views change with whatever views are fashionable at the moment. The coward is only saying this because Scheer was getting dumped on for his views on abortion. Though, I doubt he was ever personally opposed to abortion. He just wanted to have a toe in the water of the Catholic vote.
Trudeau declares he’s no longer personally opposed to abortion
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau created a stir in the media last week when he declared he no longer personally opposes abortion — a view he presumably once held because of his Catholic faith.
“I don’t think it it is actually coherent or consistent for someone to say that they are pro-choice —
particularly a man — to say that they are pro-choice but don’t like abortion,” he added.
“I evolved past that particular perspective. I continue to be and will always be fully pro-choice, but I no longer feel that I can or need to say that I’m against abortion.
That’s not for me as a man to say. I will always be pro-choice,” said
Trudeau.
Trudeau “seems to be dropping even the pretence of being ‘personally opposed’ to abortion and appears to be rejecting the idea that unborn human life itself is deserving of any protection at all,” observed [Dr. Edward] Peters, who teaches canon law at Detroit’s Sacred Heart Major Seminary.
As Liberal leader, Trudeau banned anyone who was vocally pro-life from running as a Liberal Party candidate, and
as prime minister has made access to abortion the cornerstone of the his government’s foreign and domestic policy, including earmarking $7.1 billion by 2030 to fund and promote abortion as part of Canada’s international aid.
Pro-life politicians buckling under growing hostility
Trudeau’s latest assertion can reasonably be seen as his attempt to score political points in a bare-knuckles, neck-and-neck fight against his greatest threat, Conservative leader Andrew Scheer.
It also underscores a growing hostility in Canada’s media political elites, and the culture itself, toward politicians who dare to even think abortion is wrong.
