Last Sunday, after attending Catholic Mass, Prime Minister Mark Carney was asked by a reporter if he “explicitly support[s] a woman’s right to choose?” In the lead up to the question, the reporter had observed that Mr. Carney was a “practicing Catholic who went to Church” earlier in the morning.

Carney, practically tripping over his words in his eagerness to answer the question, replied: “I absolutely support a woman’s right to choose, unreservedly, and will defend it as the Liberal Party has defended it – proudly and consistently.”

Yes, horrifically, Carney, a practicing Catholic, supports the barbaric slaughtering of the weakest and most vulnerable among us – the preborn child.

He supports this even though Catholic teaching makes it clear that killing preborn children is a grave moral evil.

"Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion," states the Catechism of the Catholic Church. "This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law.”
