The pros and cons of day care have been hotly debated for some time. Critics of day care have often been portrayed as self-satisfied middle-class mothers who do not need to work outside the home and who have no sympathy for the problems of mothers who do. Day care’s critics question whether day care is damaging to the [...]

Their Prostin F2 alpha is [...]
The practice of homosexuality is an offence against God and against nature. As an offence against God it leads one further into sin, darkening the intellect and weakening the will. Like all vices, unchecked it corrodes the moral values of its practitioners while helping to spread other evils. As an offence against nature, the practice of homosexuality [...]
On August 22, Ontario’s Attorney General, Ian Scott, held a press conference. He expressed his growing concern with “the conduct of many demonstrators” at the Morgentaler “clinic” on Harbord Street. Scott produced two letters: one from Cardinal Carter, Archbishop of the Toronto Roman Catholic archdiocese, and another from Norma Scarborough, president of the Canadian [...]
It is July 23rd, and I have just returned to the office from the abortuary on Harbord Street. Things have been happening there and these are some random thoughts on what I witnessed. Yesterday afternoon I received a call from Campaign Life Office saying that Dan McCash had been arrested on a charge of “harassment” or some such legal term. Dan and [...]
At an informal meeting the other day a number of pro-life people were discussing what we could do to stop the daily killing of unborn babies at the Morgentaler abortuary. The picketing was assessed and some felt that it is not effective enough when weighed against the amount of input by so few dedicated people. It is estimated that more than one [...]
In Britain, experimentation on dead aborted babies and on “spare” embryos created by in vitro fertilization has been going on for some time. Publicity on these experiments followed the blocking in parliament of a private member’s bill (put forward by Mr. Enoch Powell) that would have prohibited experiments on embryos. Powell’s bill, in turn, was prompted by release of the government-appointed Warnock [...]
Discussions that began in Belgium last year, when pro-life doctors from around the world met, have resulted in the formation of the International Right to Life Federation. Dr. John C. Willke, president of the U.S. National Right to Life Committee, is the group’s first president. Dr. Willke said that the organization is “long overdue. For years the pro-abortion people have been organized [...]
In mid-July, in an appeal approved by President Reagan before he was hospitalized for cancer surgery, the US Department of Justice urged the Supreme Court to reverse its 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling which established a constitutional right for an American to obtain an abortion. The thirty page ‘friend of the court’ brief charged that Roe v. Wade is “inherently unworkable,” “a [...]
The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) does not appear satisfied with the speed at which its goals are being attained world-wide, judging by the recommendations for action suggested in its latest publication, “The Human Right to Family Planning,” (November, 1983). Perhaps the most disturbing statement in their report is the recommendation that “family planning” associations “should not use the absence of law [...]
Studies show tat the number of AIDS cases in Canada is doubling each year. There is no known cure for this still-mysterious disease and men and women and children can be infected with it. And while AIDS is spreading, the medical establishment and the government are telling people not to become alarmed about AIDS. Networks of doctors, nurses, scientists, government officials and [...]
Editor’s Introduction: Recently Marjorie Maguire, self-styled “Catholic theologian” from Milwaukee, USA, toured Canada at the invitation of CARAL, the Canadian Abortion Rights Action League. The purpose of the visit was to promote the idea that Catholics are divided on the abortion issue. Her husband Daniel, a former priest who teaches moral theology at the Catholic University of Marquette in Milwaukee, follows a [...]
In a hopelessly and sadly confused article in the Toronto Star (July 6) TV science personality David Suzuki declared himself in favour of a woman’s right to abortion. Typical of his thinking were the article’s concluding lines: “Today women have a legitimate need for access to medically safe, cheap abortion facilities. There is no reason to deny this, as long as, at [...]
“An embarrassing situation” for Manitoba Premier Howard Pawley and his NDP government was “averted” during a four day Ottawa NDP convention at the end of June when a motion to censure him for “prosecuting Henry Morgentaler” failed to reach the convention floor, according to the Toronto Star of July 1, 1985. The report did not indicate why it would have been “embarrassing.” [...]
