Hamilton’s second annual Walk For Life in June drew a crowd of more than 350 marchers, and a police motorcycle escort. “It was spectacular,” said area Right to Life President Norman Donnelly. “They were spread back about five blocks with a six-man motorcycle escort by the police department.” Another 250 enthusiastic people gathered to meet the marchers at the Walk’s finish. Many [...]
If you happened to have been down at Harbourfront in Toronto the last Thursday in May, you would have noticed an interesting event taking place in the Brigantine Room a panel discussion on “Surrogate Motherhood.” Moderator Jeffrey Wilson, family layer and author of Children and the Law, introduced the topic and then invited each panelist to express his or her views. Interesting [...]
There was a stench of evil in the air. Everybody picketing the Morgentaler abortuary in Montreal felt it. 75 of the delegates attending the annual Alliance for Life convention paraded for an hour in front of the abortuary; a large, single-story corner house in a busy residential area. The “rent-a-goon” squad was there; about 15 of them, unshaven, spaced out, all of [...]
Laura McArthur, president of the Right to Life Association of Toronto and Area, recently criticized Ontario’s Liberal government in its proposed implementation of the Powell Report on abortion in the province. “Why are we not moving on this? The Powell report has been approved, and in a very short time this multi-million dollar scheme will strive to bring abortion to every city, [...]
Two Niagara area women have requested that the Regional Health Unit stop local birth control clinics from giving “morning-after” pills to teenagers. They say that the pills are being dispensed illegally, that they are dangerous to health, and that the clinics are undermining parents’ rights in counseling and treating under-age teens without parental consent. Gerarda Savoie of Niagara Falls and Angela Braun [...]
Calgary Pro-Life held its 7th annual “Hike-for-Life” on May 23, as its major fundraising event of the year. About 700 hikers attended the 10 km hike, accompanied by bicyclists, children in strollers, and people in wheelchairs. The weather was perfect for the hike along river pathways, as a piper joined to liven the steps. The proceeds for the hike will go toward [...]
Calgary City Council has voted to continue funding a major abortion referral agency. This reverses an earlier decision in which the council had voted to cut off funds to the Calgary Birth Control Association (CBCA). Funding for the CBCA has come from the federal and provincial governments as well as Calgary City Council for several years. At the same tie as it [...]
It appears that the recent court decision in Belleville, Ontario, to give protection to an unborn baby, was not an isolated incident. In a move widely interpreted as affirming foetal rights, the British Columbia Ministry of Social Services has made a 36-week-old foetus a ward of the government. The mother, a prostitute and heroin addict, was reported as saying that she did [...]
“No aborted fetuses were used in recent research for a cure for diabetes,” Colleen Morris, a medical relations officer with the University of Toronto, told The Interim recently. The confirmation came as a response to our requests for further clarification on news reports that three University of Toronto researches had eliminated diabetes in some laboratory rats in two separate experiments. The reports [...]
At 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5th, 1987, a healthy 6 lb. 10 oz. baby girl was born in one of Toronto’s hospitals. That this baby made it so far is remarkable. Late last September the mother had an appointment for an abortion at 85 Harbord. She was new to Canada and was working as a nanny. When she discovered that she [...]
