FUNDY, June 29, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - John Herron, the pro-abortion former Tory MP who upon the merger of the Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives jumped to the Liberals saying, “as a Red Tory, the Martin Liberals represent my values and vision for the future of Canada,” has lost his seat in Parliament to a Conservative who considers himself ‘pro-life’. Conservative candidate Rob Moore won the seat with 45% of the vote compared to Herron’s 35%. The Campaign Life Coalition analysis said of Moore “he would be inclined to support pro-life legislation, provided majority of constituents agree,” and that he “favours traditional definition of marriage”. Meanwhile Herron is listed as having a pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia voting record as well as having supported the Bill C-250 hate crime legislation. However, things did not go so well for family values in neighboring Nova Scotia where homosexual activist MP Scott Brison was re-elected. Brison, like Herron, switched from Tory to Liberal after the Alliance-Conservative merger over social conservatism. Notably however, Brison’s Conservative competition in Kings-Hants, Bob Mullan gave no indication of being pro-life. jhw
