BY LifeSiteNews.com HAMILTON March 8, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Sheila Copps, a pro-abortion “Catholic” MP and former Heritage Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, lost her bid for the Liberal nomination for her riding. Copps was in a fight for her seat in Hamilton East-Stoney Creek with the new Liberals under Paul Martin. She has been in a political free fall since dropping out of the Liberal leadership race against Paul Martin. Copps has a long history of anti-life and anti-Catholic sentiments and votes. On almost every serious issue she has been on the wrong side of her own church. In August 2003, Calgary bishop Fred Henry warned then Prime Minister Chretien that he endangered his immortal soul by his stance on homosexual “marriage”. Copps responded, “I don’t think the position that the prime minister is taking should subject him to the wrath of a religious leader who has a perspective. It’s a perspective that clearly, in certain cases, does not embrace equality” She is on record saying, “I can say unequivocally that I support gay marriage. Well, the right of same-sex couples to marry is a critical issue for me because it is a fundamental issue of human rights.” In her own opposition to the right of the unborn to life, she has been adamant. In November of 2000, she attacked the Canadian Alliance party for wanting “to take away a woman’s right to choose.” The militant feminist MP is not going quietly, however, saying that she is considering a formal challenge to Transport Minister Tony Valeri’s nomination. She alleged that a large number of her supporters were kept out of the nomination meeting, and says that she is collecting documentation for a challenge.
