War on Women their REAL intent

However, it was M.P. Belinda Stronach, (Newmarket – Aurora) who got down right rude and insulting when she stated:
The Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, Ian Brodie, has said that the organization, REAL Women, raises, interesting points that warrant close inspection. This is a group that is anti-choice, anti-gay, does not support equality for women and wants to obliterate the Department on the Status of Women. This group’s website even has links to sites that suggest that day cares do not care and homosexuality is a psychological disorder.

With budget cuts on the horizon, who is the minister listening to, Ian Brodie, the right-wing organization, REAL Women, or will she stand up and defend the rights of Canadian women?

I want to add that promoting equal rights for Canadian women is never a waste.

In response to Ms Stonach’s remarks the Conservative MPs pounded their desks and called out “hurrah for REAL women”

On September 25, 2006, the Conservative government announced long overdue cuts to a number of government departments including the Status of Women. The latter’s budget was cut by $5 million out of a budget of 23 million. It is an excellent beginning on what we hope will be the eventual elimination of the Status of Women.

This is from REAL women’s Sept/Oct. newsletter.

I’m just going to deal with this small section of it.

Belinda Stronach was rude and insulting with what she said?

She only repeated their platform. Are they embarrassed by it? (they should be)

Here is a group which supports violation of human rights, which would have us all governed by their religious beliefs, and whose members seek to force women to carry a pregnancy to term regardless of the circumstances of conception, danger to the woman’s life or psychology ability of the woman to continue on.

And we have a party fully supportive of this type of platform. Do we want our country to be known for intolerance, bigotry, sexism and denial of human rights? That’s not what my parents fought for.

The views expressed by this party and their support of a group of sexist bigots need to be repeated loudly, widely and constantly to remind people of the how the conservative government views women, gays and those who support reproductive choice.

Finally this last sentence is chilling and wraps up the conservative stance on women, and women’s rights in a nutshell;

It is an excellent beginning on what we hope will be the eventual elimination of the Status of Women.

Yes, they hope for the elimination of the Status of Women and the status for women.

These are people who would happily return to the days of Father knows best, women in the kitchen, and biology is destiny.

I am not willing to allow the Conservative Party, the fundamentalist religious wingnuts, or the fake progressive men who can talk a good game but get testicular shrinkage when asked to walk the talk, to determine what opportunities are available to my daughters and granddaughters.

We will not be silenced and we will not go back!
