When the egg is fertilized in a dish by a doctor adding the husband’s sperm to it, it is said to take place in vitro, which is [...]
As we saw in our last article, food and water are being routinely withheld from seriously ill patients – not all of them terminally ill – in Canadian hospitals. Is this right? Can withdrawing nutrition (or failing to initiate it) ever be justified? There are two major schools of thought on this matter, and two minor ones. To take the major ones [...]
It is utterly impossible for this group of homosexuals to get AIDS. The program they follow doesn’t require billions of dollars from poor taxpayers. These homosexuals don’t have to shy away from giving blood. These homosexuals don’t die from AIDS. You’d think all the politicians, government flunkies, movie stars, social workers and media personnel would be running to see how they do [...]

No doubt you have heard that abortion is a woman’s issue. I want you to hear it from me – this is not a woman’s issue. This is a human rights issue, a moral issue, a historic issue, a political issue – not a woman’s issue. Men Why, in a time when we are expecting so much of men, do we want [...]
It is generally assumed in Canada that because Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, and is represented by Members of Parliament in London, it is covered by the British Abortion Act of 1967. Not so. The Abortion Act quite specifically excluded Northern Ireland, and abortion is illegal there. This political-legal situation reflects the thinking and the moral principles of the [...]
There have been many questions regarding the Mulroney Government’s proposed bill C-43. I am answering them without reference to all the questioners. The first question is: Isn’t this bill better than a gestational one? No. The proposed law would allow abortions in any stage of the pre-born child’s development, right up to delivery.
