My name is Fred and I am a gay conservative living in Ottawa. This blog supports limited government, the right of the State of Israel to live in peace and security, and tries to expose the threat to us all from cultural relativism, post-modernism, and radical Islam.

Ideological Purity on Abortion

A small piece in today's National Post caught my eye. An anti-abortion groupin Montreal, Life Canada-Vie Canada, had a link on its web site asking its members to sign up for a fund-raising Mastercard. The group had been using the credit card for fundraising for about 10 years, and had had the link on its web site for about a year.

But, once pro-abortion people found out, they deluged the Bank of Montreal with complaints, and the Bank has asked Life Canada to remove the offensive link.

Personally, I support the right of women to have abortions, but I find attempts at ideological purity to be very upsetting. What ever happened to live and let live?
