BY LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry WestenOTTAWA, February 15, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An Ipsos-Reid poll released by CanWest Global has revealed that a majority of Canadians would oppose opposition parties toppling the Conservative government over abortion restrictions. The poll also found that, by an even larger margin, Canadians would oppose ousting the Conservatives if they tried to pass a law making same sex ‘marriage’ illegal.Even though the poll used language biased in favour of abortion and homosexual ‘marriage’ support, the results found Canadians unwilling to harbour a government ouster based on the measures.Rather than speaking of offering protection for unborn children, or even fetuses, the poll asked, “Would you support or oppose the opposition parties voting the Conservatives out if they try to pass a law that limits a woman’s access to abortion.”Â50% of the 1000 Canadian adults surveyed by phone from January 31 to February 2, said they would oppose it, while 45% said they would support it.On the marriage question, rather than asking about the restoration of the traditional definition of marriage, the poll asked, “Would you support or oppose the opposition parties voting the Conservatives out if they try to pass a law that makes same-sex marriages illegal.”54% of respondents said they would oppose ousting the government over it and 45% said they would support the ouster.Far more contentious, according to the poll, was the issue of private health care. Should the Conservative government “move to give private for profit health care a bigger role in Canada”, a majority of Canadians (48%) would support their ouster, while only 46% would oppose it.The poll’s margin of error was listed as 3.1%. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/poll-majority-of-canadians-would-support-conservative-govt-restricting-abor/
