What an outrage! The very idea of men going to court to try to save their babies’ lives has the feminists screaming with indignation. Predictably enough, a new men’s group has sprung up to defend the so-called woman’s right to choose and to protest the temerity of Gregory Murphy and Jean-Guy Tremblay who had the nerve to believe that their children should [...]

The name “Chilliwack” means “A gathering place” in the local Indian tongue. It certainly lived up to its name for some three hundred pro-life people who gathered there from July 6 to July 9, 1989. The occasion was the “Alliance for Life/Campaign Life Coalition Annual Convention.” In the early morning of July 6, some twenty-eight “religious fanatics and born-again bigots” enplaned at [...]
Not all homeschoolers are Christians. But for those who are, home-centered education very much suits the Christian belief that parents have the right and the obligation to teach their own children.

The Metropolitan (Toronto) Separate School Board (MSSB) plans to make a child sexual abuse awareness and prevention program compulsory in all its elementary schools in September of 1989, despite mounting criticism of such programs from psychologists, educators and parents. One such parent, Scarborough, Ontario mother of 3, Joanne Boudreau, voiced her concerns at the June 15 meeting of the MSSB. Boudreau opened [...]
When a new baby arrives, it is not long before all his visitors are deciding whom he takes after. “There ‘s no denying he’s yours!” someone is sure to say. Both sides of the family happily identify whose eyes and whose nose the new baby has inherited. There seems to be a primordial need to recognize ourselves and our family in the [...]
What is meant by “wrongful birth”? E.M.P. North York In a court action for “wrongful birth” physicians are sued because they did not determine (e.g. by amniocentesis) that a pre-born child would be born with a disability, or because they did not inform the parents so that the child could be aborted. The parents need only claim they would have been told [...]
