He voted against same sex marriage. I couldn't care less if people are gay or lesbian, if they want to adopt and get married. It makes no difference in my life, no impact at all. I see no reason why 2 people can't enjoy the benefits of marriage.
He voted against bill c-14 - the medical assistance of ending your own life - freedom of choice to go out the way you want - to end misery. If and when I get to the point where sickness makes my life unbearable, I want choices. Scheer doesn't want that - because suicide is a sin.
Do we really need religious morals in politics? But people want to talk loss of rights?

There are overwhelming, secular arguments against all of the the points you have made.
All you need to do is have respect for life and the nuclear family, and you would not be pro-abortion, pro-same sex marriage, and pro-suicide.
