Last week, I opened a mailing from American Life Lobby. In it was a colour photo of aborted fetuses with the caption, “Our Throw=Away Society.” For those who are opposed to abortion, it is a gruesome sight.

“I want to go see Oma. I want to go see Oma…” she said over and over again – about ten times in a row – tugging at my heart strings each time she repeated it. I was holding my young granddaughter in my arms and walking down the hallway in our house when she spotted the [...]

Wallowing in a sea of slogans, Mr. Getty is trying to please supporters on both sides of the issue and as a result is pleasing neither. Speaking to an Evangelical Minister, the candidate said that there was “No way” that he [...]

The Annual General Meeting of Canadian Physicians for Life was held in Ottawa on August 20, and the guest speaker at the dinner was the Hon. James A. McGrath, M.P. Mr. McGrath’s major theme was that if the Pro-Life movement is to move ahead, there must be a change in tactics. This, of course, is not news. Dr. Bernard Nathanson said the [...]

It needs repeating, no matter how tiresome it may be. First: the battle against the Morgentaler abortuaries is extremely important. Second: winning this battle must be seen as the first step in the larger task of stopping all abortions. This, in turn, requires political action to undo the 1969 amendment when Canadian politicians legalized violence against the unborn. [...]
Three years ago, in 1982, a large number of parents and parent groups approached the Toronto School Board about its sex education programme.
