quebec stands up for women, smacks down harper

Merci, Quebec! The Quebec National Assembly has unanimously passed this motion, with a vote of 109-0.
That [Quebec's] National Assembly reaffirms the right of women to free choice and to free and accessible abortion services, and asks the federal government and the prime minister of Canada to put an end to the current ambiguity on this issue, and that the National Assembly reaffirms that the fact of supporting women's right to an abortion should not in any case be used by the federal government to cut funding to a women's group.

Good wrap-up from Canadian Press, via The Tyee.
