Does the ANC Have a Conscience?

The Civil Union Bill is one of several pieces of significant legislation affecting the family that the ANC has used its majority to railroad through Parliament. One of these was the Termination of Pregnancy Bill, where, like the Civil Union Bill, over 90% of public submissions were opposed to the Bill.

By denying their MPs and ministers an opportunity to vote according to their conscience and by ignoring the millions of South Africans opposed to these Bills, the ANC have repeatedly shown that they are without a conscience and are unfit to govern.

I do not see how anyone with a conscience could continue to vote for them.
