OTTAWA, Ontario, December 15, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Prime Minister Stephen Harper today voted against Bill C-510, a private members bill seeking to ban abortion coercion. The bill failed 97-178 in a second reading vote this afternoon.

Harper had opposed the bill since it was first introduced by Conservative MP Rod Bruinooge in April. The PM had said he would “oppose any attempt to create a new abortion law.”
