Stephen Woodworth is a Conservative MP from Kitchener Centre, the Canadian riding (Americans would call it a "precinct") where I live. Although we disagree politically on many issues, I had always been impressed with his integrity and seriousness.
Recently he's become famous for trying to reignite a debate about abortion in the Canadian Parliament, by introducing Motion 312.
In a recent press release, Woodworth claims he "hopes to answer even more questions" about this proposal. He says, "I am more than willing to answer any questions Canadians may have".
Yet he refuses to answer my question, which I have asked twice: were abortion outlawed again in Canada, what should be the proper legal penalty for a woman who has an abortion?
He replied, saying it was premature to ask such a question. That's just avoiding the issue.
This is, I'm afraid, typical of those who advocate stricter controls on abortion.
