Campaign Life Election Analysis Reveals Gain of At Least 10 Pro-Life MPs

TORONTO, June 30, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - LifeSiteNews.com is pleased to offer a sneak preview of The Interim's in depth coverage of the election results. From the lead article in the Interim by Editor Paul Tuns, we provide the following snippets:

While some social conservatives may be disappointed that Paul Martin won a sizeable minority, and others unhappy that there wasn't the political realignment some had anticipated, pro-life leaders note that there are at least 10 additional pro-life MPs, bringing the political wing of the pro-life movement's goal of getting a majority of pro-life MPs across party lines that much closer.

The Liberal Party elected two new pro-lifers: in Saint John (N.B.), Paul Zed beat pro-gay "marriage" Conservative Bob McVicar for the seat that Elsie Wayne had held from 1993 until her retirement this year. In the Toronto riding of Etobicoke-Centre, Borys Wrzeanewskyj beat the socially liberal Conservative candidate, Lida Preyma. Former cabinet minister Allan Rock, a supporter of abortion and same-sex "marriage," formerly held this seat.

The Conservatives elected new pro-life MPs across the country. In New Brunswick Rob Moore, who reportedly has pro-life leanings, beat Tory turncoat John Herron in Fundy. In Ontario, pro-life candidates won in Essex (Jeff Watson), Niagara Falls (Rob Nicholson), Niagara West-Glanbrook (Dean Allison), Oshawa (Colin Carrie), Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry (Guy Lauzon) and Leeds-Greenville (Gord Brown).

Incumbent pro-life MPs generally held their own. The only pro-life Conservative to lose was B.C.'s Andy Burton (Skeena-Bulkley Valley). Two pro-life Liberal incumbents lost: John O'Reilly (Haliburton-Victoria-Brock), who first won in 1993 and was twice re-elected because of conservative vote-splitting in the riding, and Janko Peric (Cambridge) who lost to pro-life Conservative Gary Goodyear.
