Day realized that he would not be elected if he said that, if he did get to be prime-minister, he would ban abortions. So he backed off. This leaves his grass-roots supporters with a conundrum. He'll just be another Preston Manning with a nicer voice. Well, they'll probably vote for him anyway.
Day has no chance of winning in the foreseeable future.
He has no support in Quebec and he aint going to get any. To win seats in Quebec, he is going to have to get the support of either Bouchard or Charest. Day is to Bouchard what Britney Spears is to Margot Timmins. Harris' popularity in Ontario is going to decline for the next two years. Harris would have preferred Tom Long anyway, not for any real policy reasons, but because Tom Long owes him, big time.
