After years of struggling for any kind of media exposure, the B.C. Family Coalition Party has finally gained some notoriety outside the pro-life circle. To the surprise of many, Bill Vander Zalm showed up as a paid-in-full member at the party’s year-end conference. The very controversial Vander Zalm served as B.C.’s premier for one term before running into a myriad of personal [...]

Nothing happened until December 1993 when the Everywoman [...]
An Ontario judge will determine the fate of the pro-life movement in this province as he decides whether to grant the government’s request for a temporary injunction prohibiting pro-life picketing and counseling.
