After tonight's debate, Andrew Scheer was asked by three reporters if he supports a woman's right to choose.
Three times he refused to answer.
It's clear Scheer personally opposes a women's right to choose, but he's too frightened to admit it.

Is it normal for a Conservative leader to endorse a far-right anti-immigrant movement, who's members spread anti-Muslim conspiracy theories and express support for far-right hate groups?
Yes, because that's what conservatism is today.
The
