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. All that is needed is a compliant doctor. The [...]
For many years Planned Parenthood has denied its commitment to abortion and has been portrayed by the press as a group of concerned citizens trying to save the world from itself. During the IPPF conference held in Ottawa in November 1989, the national press presented this picture once again. Stuart McCarthy in the Ottawa Sun quotes IPPF spokesman Karen Newman as saying [...]

After twenty years of steadily deteriorating morals and equally steadily increased violence in the home and on the street, Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservatives have concluded that they ought to repeat [...]
Bishop Leo Maher of San Diego, California, has denied Catholic assembly woman Lucy Killea, a Democrat, the right to receive communion. Killea ran for the state Senate in a special election on December 5, 1989. She took a pro-abortion stand in her public statements and advertising. This led Bishop Maher to declare “…you are placing yourself in complete contradiction to the moral [...]

Anne de Beaupré, Quebec, Dan McCash of Liberals for Life made a strong plea to the ninety delegates from across Canada for pro-life supporters to join the Liberal Party, no matter what their political allegiances. The next six months, he said, are crucial because the Liberal Convention in [...]

Yesterday, December 11, I called to The Interim office as I was in Toronto. I found Father de Valk and Michael Otis in deep and concerned conversation. When they saw me they asked in one voice, “Have you got your article?” I said, “Er. What article?” They replied in unison, “The one for the January Interim.” I said, “When do you want [...]
The government abortion bill C-43 has passed second reading and been sent to committee. The vote, 164 in favour and 114 against, does not represent the feeling of MPs on the legislation. Many pro-life MPs voted in favour of the legislation hoping that it would be amended before third and final reading. The prospects for any pro-life amendments, however, are thought to [...]
When a bill concerning homosexual “rights” was introduced into the Ontario Legislature in 1986, its supporters were led by the most influential member of the Cabinet next to Premier Peterson – Attorney-General Ian Scott. They maintained that all they were trying to do was put an end to unfair discrimination. But the bill was part of a “Gay Drive” – an international [...]
