Commentary—The Powell Report

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 [...]

Editorial: The answer is chastity

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. [...]

Pill double talk: birth control and abortion

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, [...]

Anti-family policies

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.

Seculars fear death

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 [...]

Condom crusade based on false premises

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 [...]

Ontario pushes “women’s clinics”

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 [...]

DISCRIMINATION CONTINUES: Tories deny pro-family funding

            On January 15, 1987 Secretary of State David Crombie (PC, Toronto Rosedale) refused REAL Women a sustaining grant for operations of an office and office staff.

Movie review: the mission

      If you have to crawl – or be carried – go and see The Mission a spectacular – thrilling – action-packed film with a spiritual message. Wrongly called an ‘epic film’ – shades of John Wayne – it’s a magnificent story of bravery and dedication – (and almost completely beyond the intelligence of some of our local critics who [...]

Facts on homosexuality

Parents versus the State

        It was truly ironic. During the Christmas season we celebrate the birth of a special Child, and many of us are blessed by having time to spend with family and friends. Just then, the nation’s newspapers covered the fight of the Alberta couple to save the life of their grandchild. As we all know, they lost that battle [...]

Medical ethics group formed

    Washington:  pro-life physicians in the United States have formed a new organization. The American Academy of Medical Ethics (AAME).
