... imposing moral values on their patients? Both the original Star Phoenix article and Vellacott's congratulatory press release suggest that this is the case. And another nice quote: Pro-life feminists have also come to see abortion as part of a male agenda to have women more sexually available. Just three points off a majority , folks.
