Press Release: NB’s Health Minister Must Resign
Posted by MML on May 20th, 2009
“A national pro-choice group is demanding the resignation of New Brunswick’s health minister Michael Murphy, after he promoted his religious views against abortion at an anti-choice rally in New Brunswick last week. Speaking in his official capacity, Murphy said that because of his personal anti-abortion views, he’s not “entirely comfortable” with administering the provincial law that allows funded abortions at New Brunswick hospitals.”
SHAME!

Here here!!
Officials must enforce the law, regardless of their personal opinions. The only reason he wasn’t lambasted for this the second the words were out of his mouth is because he was speaking about reproductive rights.

I agree 100% – if an official cannot enforce the law then they should not be in that position. Obviously the Shawn Graham government must move this individual to another portfolio (or none at all) and put an MP who is “comfortable” with the law – NB needs to wake up to the fact it is 2009 not the 1950′s – it is a women’s right to make a choice – women are still being downtrodden – we have fought for our rights (to vote etc etc etc). Leftnews needs to promote this issue and others that deal with individual rights (regardless of sex, race, ethnic origin etc etc).
