Women Rona Ambrose: Status Of Women

Deputy Leader Libby Davies Dept: This week, NDP Deputy Leader Libby Davies said, "I think she can rationalize it how she wants but as the Minister for Status of Women, she clearly betrayed the women of this country by not standing up and ensuring that we don't let the clock be turned backwards.", according to CBC. Several members of the Conservative caucus like Eve Adams opposed it and evan Solomon, host of Radio's The House, reflects on the decision by the Minister of Status for Women Rona Ambrose not to explain her decision to vote in favour of a private member's bill to study when human life begins, in his weekly radio essay as heard on The House Sept. 29. Strong words from MPs such as Davies were heard this week after Rona Ambrose, the Minister for the Status of Women, voted for a private member's motion put forward by Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth to study the definition of when life begins, a motion many argued was a step towards reopening the abortion debate.
