Contraception a part of maternal-health plan, Harper says

Good for Harper; while we can attack the government for doing dumb things, when they respond and change course I think they deserve to be given credit.

Facing a squall of condemnation from aid groups and opposition politicians, Prime Minister Stephen Harper disavowed his foreign minister Thursday, promising that the federal government would include contraception programs in its maternal-health foreign-aid initiative.

...

The statement flatly contradicted previous statements of Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon and International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda.

Love watching Harper have to squirm, hold his nose and say things he does not believe in... Just to pander... Lot tougher than posing in an Ill-fitting hockey sweater, eh Stevie boy???

Where's Iggy, walking the plank?

How long before you stab him in the back, just like Dion before him.

You Liberals have nothing, no backbone, no morals, no ideas.

29 absent MP's, you cowards, after all of that talk yet again the "natural ruling party" retreats back down the hill.
