Oh sure. Let's have a climate change denier head environmental committees and a creationist head science and industry committees. I think it should go without saying that anyone who heads a parliamentary committee should have a grasp of the issues.  It is fine if you feel you would never have an abortion. It is not fine if you would enforce pregnancy on all Canadian women if you could. A person lacking an understanding that reproductive control is fundamental to the lives of women is not fit for membership on this committee, never mind chairing it. Yes the liberals could have just voted against her but I thank them for making a big stink that the Conservatives would have proposed her in the first place. Just shows how they remain as out of touch with women as they were when Harper ruled.
