If, as Congressman Hyde said so well, the most fundamental obligation of a politician is the protection of human life, then so we not have an obligation to seriously consider what we can do with our political arena in Canada? The Pro-Life movement is non-partisan which means it does not take sides one way or another for a particular party. However, we [...]
Congressman Henry Hyde was the keynote speaker at the "Friends for Life" pro-life conference in Middleton Nova Scotia earlier this year. The following is the text of the second and last part of his address. "Friends for Life" was the Nova Scotia Right to Life conference organized by Valley Action for Life. You know, Ronald Reagan has his homely little way of [...]
In 1982 most abortions were performed by suction D&C and by saline. The chances of an unborn child being born alive dwindled from an almost perfect 99.7 per cent to 45.2 per cent in 1982. Thirty years ago, in 1954, a total of 11 therapeutic abortions were performed at Toronto General Hospital. By 1982 that 11 had mushroomed into an incredible 2484 [...]
There is a new centre for couples in the Toronto area wishing to learn Natural Family Planning (NFP). The Marguerite Bourgeoys Family Service teaches the Ovulation Method of NFP. The course is based on the teaching method developed at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. The Ovulation Method is easy to learn and is proven to be an effective way to achieve or [...]
The Kingston General Hospital board of directors has announced the formation of a task force to review the hospital's policies and programmers relating to abortion. Trustee Mary Van dewater, past president of the Women's Aid and long-time hospital volunteer will head the 6-member task force, which is expected to conduct the study within one year. The review is in response to a [...]
The pro-life movement appears to be making itself felt in Saskatchewan as the number of abortions dropped by 21% in the province last year, according to the Medical Care Insurance Commission's annual report. The numbers though, for the year ending Mar. 31,1984, don't tell the whole story. A Regina gynecologist says the same numbers of younger women are having abortions, but they're [...]
The National Film Board (the people who brought you "Democracy on Trial: the Morgentaler affair") have done it again (with your money). Joanne Lewicky and I were invited by the NFB to a private screening of Abortion: Stories from North and South, written and directed by Gail Singer. This abortion travelogue assumes from the outset that abortion is a good thing and [...]
You're 35 years old, or 40, or 45, but there you are, crawling on all fours and barking like a dog, while your little toddler howls hysterically and tries to hoist herself up onto the back of the barking monster. Or you're pulling and eager three-year-old onto your lap, her favorite "blankie" wrapped around, comfortably settling in for another episode from the [...]
The angel of death has a new disguise: health. More exactly, a life-saving inoculation. The vaccines used throughout Ontario and some other provinces, to protect Canadian school children from such diseases as rubella and rabies are derived from abortion. Human fetuses have been used by scientists to produce the cultures (WI-38 and MRC5 strains) from which the vaccines are made. We've all [...]
Trudeau's views on the secular state have been constant. In September 1971 the United Church Observer printed interviews with the four political leaders; only one, Réal Caouette of the Créditistes, was prepared to think of Canada in its public life as a Christian country. Ten years later, Prime Minister Trudeau presented his new Constitution to the Canadian people. When critics queried the [...]
Lawyer Morris Manning has seen to it that the jury in the people's court case against Morgentaler, Smoling and Scott is not "The voice of the people," spoken of by John Diefenbaker in the early 1970s, when he protested the Quebec Court of Appeal's decision to over-rule the jury's acquittal of Henry Morgentaler. Diefenbaker believed that a jury should represent a cross-section [...]
The Ontario Ministry of Health has confirmed in writing that the vaccine currently given to Canadian school children to prevent Rubella (German Measles) and Rabies has been and is being derived from the lung tissue of aborted babies. In Ontario, and some other provinces, vaccination is mandatory for all children entering both the public and separate school systems. Exemptions may be granted [...]
On a lecture tour last winter in Toledo I heard many stalwart Catholics complain about the indifference of priests in the face of the greatest war of all time, abortion. Incidentally, in that diocese there is brewing a potentially horrible sex-education program whose bibliography does not even mention Humanae Vitae or Familiaris Consortio but does include dissident theologians like Bernard Häring, Richard [...]
I am 23 year old, single, working female, I love life; I love freedom; I love our country; I love being a woman; and most important of all, I love God. So why should I bother being a member of R.E.A.L. Women? I'll tell you why. I thought that everything was great in Canada - that was when I didn't know anything [...]
With abortionists in their ranks do doctors now have any claim to the word "profession"? The following article is presented here just before Dr. Marx's article to render a description of the actual situation within an operating aboratory. Before becoming a Christian, nurse Sam Griggs assisted with numerous abortions while working for an obstetrician in Denver, Colorado. In this article, Griggs tells [...]
