41st PARLIAMENT, 1st SESSION
EDITED HANSARD • NUMBER 192 CONTENTS
Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Mr. Leon Benoit (Vegreville—Wainwright, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, a few months ago, my daughter, Jennifer, and her husband were devastated when they lost their unborn child through a miscarriage. She cried herself to sleep for weeks, and maybe still does.
My wife, Linda, and I experienced the same sense of loss and emptiness when we lost our first child to a miscarriage. People never really get over it.
I know that many parents experience this same pain but what I cannot square and what I need someone to explain to me is why the loss is any less when a child is aborted. Why is the loss any less, why does the child become less just because it is not wanted?
