In 1729, the Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland, published an essay entitled A Modest Proposal. The title is ironic because what he proposed was a scheme to solve the problem in Ireland by butchering children. In a carefully reasoned argument, he explains how the parents will be paid for raising small children who will then be [...]

Some had up to 8 ccs of blood taken [...]
The following two letters were sent to the Star and the Globe by Campaign Life in an attempt to correct their editorial presentation of the WI-38 Rubella vaccine story as the product of an irrational “fringe” group. The Editor The Toronto Star Dear Sir: Your December 2 editorial “Vaccine isn’t Abortion Issue” finds it “ironic” to see [...]
God as “Lawgiver” and “Judge” is precisely what is at stake in Canada today. In an age of economic, social, and cultural transition the rules of God, so to speak, have to be relearned and reaffirmed all over again on pain of losing them altogether and thereby becoming “secular.” The greater the intensity of the transition, [...]
Picketers at the Hamilton-Civic Henderson Hospital have been marching every Friday for a year and a half now. Joanne Bassi and Brenda Giavedoni made resolution in 1983 to picket during the Lenten season. But when Lent was over they decided to go on. And they’re still marching. They’re joined by a group of faithfuls and the occasional newcomer, [...]
The November issue of Flare magazine ran an ad for Julius Schmid condoms (on page 58) which pictured a baby and labeled it a “mistake.” Printing a photograph of innocent healthy newborns and labeling them “mistakes” is a blatant promotion of the anti-life philosophy of the pro-abortionists. The last issue of the advertisement copy even suggests that an unwanted pregnancy [...]
On Monday, November 19, Dorval City Council approved a zoning bylaw that would banish massage parlours, strip joints, erotica shops, tanning studios and abortion clinics to an industrial part of town. The businesses would be relegated to a district now used mostly by trucking firms. The draft bylaw “depicts the moral pasture of the community,” said Dorval Mayor, Peter [...]

The Ontario Science Centre is currently distributing a pamphlet informing women that abortion is one of their choices after amniocentesis.

This year, mass and dinner took place at St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto in downtown Toronto.

On Friday November 21, 1984, the OFL voted to take Morgentaler’s side in the abortion debate but, as a Toronto Star journalist reported, “only after a long debate.” Federation president, Cliff Pilkey, refused to let Morgentaler address 1,700 union delegates in plenary session. Instead he was permitted to speak to an audience of 300 during a lunch break. The delegates [...]

The “safe, surgical procedure” claimed by Morgentaler and his associates in actual fact has a 100 per cent fatality rate as abortion involves two patients – one of whom has no chance of survival. However, after 15 years of virtual abortion on request in this country, it is not surprising that the carefully chosen jurors, after listening [...]
