There is no issue in this or any other election which is more important than that of the protection of all human life. Any candidate, of whatever party, who is not ready to defend the 'personhood' and the right to life of any one, of any age (from conception to natural death) of any race, of any condition, is much too dangerous [...]

Although I am the founder of the NDP in Thompson, Manitoba, and a former cabinet minister in the Manitoba NDP government under Ed Schreyer, today I feel nothing but contempt for Mr. Broadbent and his Party's policies.

Tyranny "Clearly the sanctity of human life ethic is under attack. History confirms what the Word of God teaches - the only thing that stands between the individual and the tyrant is society's commitment to the sanctity of human life. This is a central teaching of the Bible and an historic confession of the Christian Church."
Re: Abortion It is important to not underestimate the educative value of law. Certain behaviours often come to be considered as moral because civil laws allow or tolerate them. Yet, a law which allows abortion is radically immoral. A Christian cannot accept such law either in its concept nor in its application: "Nor can a Christian take part in a propaganda campaign [...]

Criticisms like those published in an editorial entitled "Taste and Ethics" in the Catholic weekly, The Prairie Messenger. That 1982 editorial contended: But it is not sound reasoning to base one's ballot decision on any single issue ... Surly no [...]
