48% : Re "Federal cabinet minister says she was disinvited from visit at Planned Parenthood Ottawa over views on Israel" (Oct. 2): As the daughter of the man who did as much as anyone to promote women's reproductive rights in Canada, I am shocked by Planned Parenthood Ottawa disinviting a cabinet minister, who is Jewish, a Zionist and holds dual Canadian and Israeli citizenship, because of her views on Israel Why is it suddenly okay to disinvite people from events on the basis of their political beliefs?
