Civil, nice, polite what are the meanings behind these terms? According to an online dictionary;
consideration for others and the adherence to conventional social standards of good behavior
Good behaviour and conventional social standards. So in other words when Sir Rodmond Roblin stated, ‘”nice” women weren’t interested in voting’ McClung should have recognized that she wasn’t bringing the middle ground to her side and should have gone home and baked a pie.
Perhaps we should be nice like the anti choice side
is this nice?

In fact according to the above from Wiki CSIS “defined anti-abortion violence as “single issue terrorism””
What about calls of murders, child killers, sinners, culture of death?
Those of us who see the damage done when women have their choices removed are far more interested in protection of reproductive liberty, than the wishy washy support of those who can’t bring themselves to fully support women’s rights.
As Nellie McClung intoned;
“Never retreat, never explain, never apologize. Get the thing done and let them howl.”
