We have been hearing a lot lately about the deficit and I have a suggestion which would help Canada reduce its debt. It is about time that Canada followed the lead of the United States (unpopular though that is in some quarters) and investigate just how much of our foreign aid goes to support coercive abortion and family planning in developing countries. [...]
The years since legalization of abortion in Canada have seen the gradual conversion of an act deemed to be a war-crime at Nuremberg to a public service and the “right” of women. Many doctors have set aside their convictions and have participated fully in this attack on our preborn. Another large group in the middle continues to avoid personal involvement, but takes [...]
Morgentaler’s request for an injunction against Operation Rescues at his abortuary in Toronto was introduced in April of this year. The abortionist’s lawyer, Clayton Ruby, surrounded it with a deliberately conceived web of suggested violence fitting the charge against the pro-lifers. Clayton Ruby, a director of CARAL (Canadian Abortion Rights Action League), is like Morris Manning, Morgentaler’s Toronto constitutional counselor, an ardent [...]
Even after we have shown our slides and pictures of pre-natal development, some people continue to deny the humanity of the preborn child. How do we answer? (M.B., Cornwall, Ont.) Any scientist who today claimed that the unborn child is less than human would be laughed out of court. It is a demonstrable and universally accepted scientific fact that every human being [...]
In April, Prime Minister Mulroney appointed Beverley McLachlin to be one of the nine judges on Canada’s Supreme Court. Unlike court appointments in the United States, Canada’s appointments are not submitted to public scrutiny even though the 1981 Charter has given the Supreme Court enormous powers. To the general public, McLachlin is a completely unknown personality. By accident, pro-lifers did find out [...]
In an exclusive interview with The Interim, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, on a whirlwind visit to Toronto recently, predicted that the police and abortionists would escalate their brutality. Especially the abortionists, he said, if they lose in the Supreme Court in the United States. He said that nobody is doing enough. He urged the escalation of Operation Rescue. He reminded me that he [...]
When Rev. Paul Schenck addresses a crowd of Evangelical and Catholic clergy, the one thing on his mind is unity of purpose when it comes to achieving the goals of Operation Rescue. Schenck doesn’t say forget your differences; he says be charitable enough to ignore them. When someone is singing a familiar old Protestant hymn, marching up and down of an abortuary [...]
The love of God’s law is true love of country Over the last few months Josiah Wood and other British Columbia judges have handed out harsh sentences to pro-lifers. These range from two to four months in jail for breaking an injunction imposed to protect Vancouver’s free-standing abortuary. An added sting is the judges’ refusal to grant a reduction in time served [...]
New Rescue Edmonton – On May 24, six pro-life rescuers succeeded in shutting down the Family Planning “Clinic” of the Royal Alexandria Hospital here for most of the day. The Clinic is a separate unit of the hospital, rescue spokeswoman, Maria Voss told The Interim, and its only business is abortions. From 8:30 a.m. on, rescuers blocked access by chaining themselves to [...]
Anti-abortionists convicted of criminal contempt of court will have to wait three years until they are eligible to apply for a pardon to erase their criminal record, The Vancouver Sun reported. “National Parole Board spokesman, Evelyn Blair, said on March 7, that the anti-abortionists will have to wait two years after their one-year probation expires before they can apply for pardons. A [...]
On February 7, 1989 the first prison sentences were handed out to 13 people who had picketed Vancouver’s Everywoman’s abortuary on January 21, 1989. Four of these were declared “leaders” by the judge and sentenced to 24 days in prison to be served on weekends. While these thirteen were being sentenced, 104 prolifers blocked the abortuary, now protected by an injunction. They [...]
Friday, May 12, was the date of Toronto’s latest Operation Rescue (Op-R). As rain came down relentlessly, chains had to be cut from 73 men and women. Police took more than three hours from 8:00 o’clock to 11:15 before the entry to the Scott abortuary on Toronto’s Gerrard Street East was cleared. Op-R is intended to save babies. Participants were confident that [...]
Records subpoenaed Calgary – Campaign Life Coalition Calgary has served two subpoenas on the Peter Lougheed Centre to obtain the medical records pertaining to its abortion unit. The Centre is a subdivision of the Calgary General Hospital. Coalition president Michael Manley explained that the records are needed to illustrate that abortion caused serious physical harm. He said the records will prove that [...]
Newspapers run tiny, back-page reports of the jailing of “anti-abortionists.” Feminists and pro-abortionists denounce them as wild fanatics threatening law and order. Leaders of the country – political, academic, cultural and religious – maintain a discreet silence. Who would have thought that it would come to this – pro-lifers actually going to prison? Certainly none of the people involved would have believed [...]
