"I think abortion is the injustice of our generation," Bissonnette said Friday. "It's another example of how we've denied personhood to different peoples throughout history, like Jews, natives, blacks ... In each instance, it's been expedient for different reasons. We're taking their land, we're taking their labour, or we're blaming them for some major catastrophe.
"With the unborn, we've denied them personhood because it's the necessary escape hatch for a sexually libertine culture. Sex is no longer within marriage. If people don't want their babies, they have to have a way to get rid of them."
In Canada, there are 100,000 abortions per year, "and it's legal right through the whole nine months," Bissonnette noted.
He added, "we're the only First World nation with no law on abortion," since the Supreme Court struck down the Pierre Elliott Trudeau government's legislation legalizing publicly funded abortion under strict circumstances.
Bissonnette said he believes the discussion about abortion and the judicial void should be reopened
