I’m starting to feel a bit like a detective. After all, this is the second pro-abortion event that I’ve “spied on.” I tend to approach these things with apprehension. I mean, what if I am found out? What if they see my contempt, read the disgust in my eyes? Will they drown me with their propaganda and their infantile cries of “Choice [...]

One of the group discussions during the recent Life and Family Conference was a forum on the recent Vatican Document on Life and Procreations. This document, intended as a teaching paper, is concerned that love-making not be separated from life-giving, and inevitability with new medical technology such as In Vitro fertilization. The fact that we now have the scientific technology to remove, [...]

To the student of politics nothing is better calculated to induce deep despair than witnessing a floundering government adopt a sound policy but fail to follow through with adequate fiscal resources to fulfill it. The Mulroney government has conspicuously failed to provide adequate fiscal backing for its recent child-care proposals. Under these plans, the federal government is to provide $300 million a [...]
Two thing decided the defeat of Gus Mitges’ motion to amend the Charter to protect the unborn. One was the pressure brought to bear on Conservative MPs by their leaders.

Congratulations and continued support are due to those Conservative [...]
