In her column this month, Miss Prestwich has collected a number of questions on surrogate motherhood she has received over the last few months. What exactly is a surrogate mother? A surrogate is someone who is a deputy or a substitute. A surrogate mother is a woman who carries someone else’s developing child in her womb. When this is done for money [...]
The following was extracted from a Burnaby, B.C. parish bulletin, written by Canon E. Gale of the Anglican Catholic Church of Canada. It concerns Bill C-43, the government’s abortion legislation. Someone who has actually studied the bill and subsequent pronouncements by government officials has told me: “The effect of this bill is to legalise the killing of unborn children, to make abortion [...]
The 15-member House of Commons Committee which will study Bill C-43 for up to two months beginning on January 30 is dominated by pro-abortionists. The Conservative members were hand-picked from among those who support the C-43 idea. Of the four Liberals, three are pro-abortion and of the NDP two out of two. Although it is unlikely that anything resembling pro-life views will [...]
Father Tony Van Hee and Joseph Bissonnette resumed their Fast for Life when Parliament reconvened on January 22. Van Hee and Bissonnette position themselves in front of the members’ entrance to the House of Commons each day from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Pro-lifers plan to join them and to meet their MPs as a Parliamentary Committee considers the government’s proposed abortion [...]
Teenage pro-lifers mounted a rescue at Nikki Colodny’s Toronto abortuary on January 5th, at the same time as 7 other young offenders were on trial for their part in the injunction-breaking rescue at the Morgentaler `clinic’ in August 1989. Fifteen members of Teenagers Rescuing Unborn Tiny Humans (TRUTH) were arrested after effectively shutting down the Colony `clinic’ and preventing abortions. In the [...]
Jean Chretien has been put on notice that he is not going to be able to hide his pro-abortion record during his run for the Liberal party leadership. Even before announcing his candidacy Jean Chretien has encountered pro-life picketers protesting his views on abortion. At Chretien’s first Toronto appearance of the year on January 12, some 40 pro-life people picketed as Chretien [...]
Current leadership races in all parties seem to be flagging. There is a dearth of capable candidates, whether for the Ontario Conservatives, the federal NDP or the federal Liberals. The only thing they seem to have in common is being pro-abortion though it is good to see three pro-life candidates in the Liberal leadership race with Tom Wappel, MP for Scarborough Centre, [...]
Catholic pro-abortion or, as some call themselves, “pro-choice” politicians are meeting growing criticism from fellow Catholics. So are Catholic politicians who claim that while personally opposed to abortion, they must support pro-abortion measures “for the common good.” Each category is under fire in the United States and elsewhere. The one-million-member Catholic fraternal organization, the Knights of Columbus, is under pressure to expel [...]
Here is a rundown of the current Liberal leadership contenders in alphabetical order. Jean Chretien, former MP and Trudeau Cabinet minister, 55, Roman Catholic.
