It's The Sex Stupid
This article says the conservatives didn't win a majority for two reasons; queers and abortions.
[...]
At Toronto's gay concentration, virtually every Torontonian knows gays. They have gay friends and gay co-workers. They have gay relatives. They see gay tendencies in the young children of their friends and, as they become older, speculation turns to confirmation. They have bonds with all these people and often a strong loyalty toward them, too. They don't want to see them disparaged, even implicitly. They don't want their vote to be read as an insult to gays. For many, a vote for Conservatives, knowing it would deeply offend a friend, a relative, a co-worker, would show disloyalty.

The abortion issue produces more visceral sex-based opposition to the Conservatives. Canadian women have more than 100,000 abortions a year. Put another way, for every 100 babies born, 32 are aborted. Among women in their twenties, about 2.5% will have an abortion this year. Among those who don't, many fear that, but for fortune, they might face the same choice.
Most women do not slough off their past abortions easily, and they certainly do not want societal reprimands for their past misfortunes. Neither do they want others to suffer any such stigma, or limit on their freedoms. These women's mates do not want any of the stigma to rub off on them, or to be limited themselves by unwanted obligations.

Right. Anyone who thinks that forcing ones sexuality onto others and an inability to keep ones pants on may be the real problems please raise your hands.
Think about it. If the queers weren't trying to force homosexuality into a heterosexual culture, they wouldn't have such a fight on their hands no?
If women were capable of keeping their pants on they wouldn't have the need to use abortion as a form of birth control no?
Is it the sex or is it selfishness coupled with a lack of personal responsibility?
Just a little update for the pro-abortion folks: This is what you're defending...
