I know she says this is just her personal view, and that she is a staunch defender of abortion rights. But legit I just will never be able to trust anyone who feels this way. #AbortionRights #cdnpoli
If anyone needs a source, here is an archived article: web.archive.org/web/2012111007…
When the Ghomeshi survivours came forward she tweeted: "I think Jian is wonderful. Likely TMI for an old fogey like me, but his private life is none of our beeswax" and "I have known Jian and something at work here doesn't make sense. Innocent until proven guilty."
Yes she apologized. No I don't care.
Do I think Elizabeth May would make abortions illegal? No. But reproductive rights need to be increased in this country, and I don't think someone who says "I don’t think a woman has a frivolous right to choose" is gonna do that.
A person who specifies they are in favour of "therapeutic abortion" while also saying "I’m against abortion. I don’t think a woman has a frivolous right to choose." is NOT pro-choice enough for me.

Also: "therapeutic abortion" is as bullshit a concept as "deserving poor."
Also all these people being like "iT iS jUsT hER oPINioN" are weirdly ignoring the fact that she says she has talked women out of having abortions.
I think it is really dangerous when even people who say they support reproductive rights couch it in a bunch of disclaimers and apologies and judgment.
What if Elizabeth May said "No one in their right mind is for gay marriage. I am personally against gay marriage. I have talked people out of marrying members of the same sex." but then went on to say she would fight for the rights of gay people to get married?
