In my half-century of life this is the second time I’m living through the acceptance and practice of euthanasia. As a child growing up in Poland during the Nazi occupation (alternately with the Russian occupation) I remember that most our difficult job was keeping Grandpa from being shot by the Nazis. By Nazi standards Grandpas life was already devoid of value: he [...]
Saturday, January 24th, a courageous man with an interesting brogue blew in from Australia, carrying with him a message of hope. On his hurried trip around the world, the famous “Abortion Priest,” as he is known in his homeland, made a brief stop-off in Toronto. Reverend Eugene Ahern is a 41-year-old man, who has spent the last fifteen of his eighteen years [...]
How Ontario Liberals have helped to undermine the family since 1985 Election Campaign. April 3, 1985 Peterson tells student he favours existing law (outlawing clinics.) but “is concerned that there is not enough access.” Liberals support OHIP payments for abortions and, if elected, would pay for travel costs, if there is no hospital within 300 KM (186 miles) of women’s homes. April [...]
Private citizens in Ontario and Quebec are seeking to have the abortion law enforced, and they are receiving markedly different reactions from the courts in those attempt. In Quebec, the courts have backed pro-life activist Reggie Chartrand in his attempt to prosecute privately a Montreal abortionist. At the same time, in Ontario, a Supreme Court judge has sided with Ontario’s Attorney-General Ian [...]
In December I received a thank you card from Michael Bray, the American minister “accused of” and jailed for bombing several abortion mills in the United States. Recently Bray was acquitted of the charges. However, anti-lifers in America are outraged and plan to re-try Bray. Bray’s new trial is set for this month.. He writes “for the mean time , [...]
Prolifers may see little reason for optimism in the recent report on abortion in Ontario made by Dr. Marion Powell for the provincial government. In fact, however, by showing just how normally bankrupt the so called “pro-choice” position has become, the doctor will probably alienate far more people in her position than she will gain. The Powell report, reported and discussed elsewhere [...]
While no one denies that AIDS education is vitally important if we are to halt the spread of the disease, many are questioning the assumptions on which AIDS prevention is based and the questions being raised are serious indeed. Firstly, it is wrong to base education campaigns on the assumption that all the facts are known on how this virus is transmitted. [...]
Late last year, the media heralded the arrival of a newly-discovered chemical abortion pill, and followed up with further news that the pill could also be used as a convenient, once-a-month method of birth control. In fact, the RU 486 pill has been public knowledge since early last year when American pro-life newspapers, ALL About Issues and National Right to Life News, [...]
Father Paul Marx, the energetic founder and director of Human Life International, spent the first week of February in southern Ontario, passing on to audiences in several cities his observations on world-wide anti-family policies. He sees an inseparable connection between the widespread access to contraception and increased rates of abortion in the world. Father Marx stresses that there is not one exception [...]
Toronto. David Suzuki – often seen as Canada’s science guru – stated in a recent column about a baby suffering from leukemia that: “In an increasingly secular age, science seems to have cut us loose from any sense of place and meaning. Biological science indicates that life arose on this planet by chance (and), that we have the form and shape that [...]
This article contains explicit descriptions of some sexual practices which will, no doubt, be offensive to many readers. We, too, find it distasteful. Nevertheless, we feel that our readers have the right to know precisely what is being discussed in the AIDS education debate. When U.S. Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop M.D., issued his Report on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in [...]
On January 29, 1987, Murray Elston, Health Minister of Ontario, tabled in the Ontario Legislature the report he had been expecting since last July. Authored by Dr. Marion Powell, the report is the answer to the government’s desire to open “clinics” for abortion and contraceptive counseling throughout Ontario and thus to “resolve” the Morgentaler issue. The Powell proposals boil down to four [...]
