Increased population means the world cannot feed itself. The UN says that to remain healthy, the average person must consume roughly 2,000 calories per day. In 1961, 26% of the population of developing countries consumed over 2,000 calories per day. In 1989, 94% of the population of developing countries consumed over 2,000 calories per day. Further, since 1948, world food production has [...]
Charlottetown “Saved sex, not safe sex” was the challenge brought to junior and senior high school students across Canada this spring.

So, what’s wrong with traditional values? That’s the question begging for an answer in response to the opposition facing a new traditional school, opening in September in British Columbia. When a group of parents, disgruntled with an educational system that finds more students falling through the cracks with each passing year, decided they could institute a system which would emphasize a “back [...]
The threat to freedom of speech among pro0life Americans has taken a terrible turn for the worse. One may wonder how it could happen that in the United States of America a bill could be signed into law that basically discriminates against an entire group of people simply because of what they believe. Yet, in the case of the Freedom of Access [...]
The following episode was first reported in the June, 1972 issue of Marriage and Family Newsletter. The account draws a frightening portrait of the “sterilization camps” which the UN set up in the early 1970s. The article illustrates the depths to which population control advocates could stoop to trick their unwitting victims into a lifetime of infertility. This particular camp was organized [...]
The Cairo International Conference on Population and Development has the well-documented aim of limiting the world’s population. This “anti-natalist” movement is not new but it has never seen such widespread support from both governments and intellectuals. In this article, Winifride Prestwich traces the history of the anti-population movement from its origin with Darwin up to the first United Nations’ conference on world [...]
Maybe it was finding that a European conference on euthanasia and assisted suicide was held during a stretch of grey, foreboding weather in early June of this year in the chilly, southern Holland town of Maastricht. Normally, Maastricht is better known for giving its name to a treaty for the European Economic Community, but this somber conference dealing with mercy-killing may well [...]
About a year ago I was asked to become a member of the board of Straight Talk, an organization started by a young lady named Bev Hadland. Its object is to convince teenagers that sexual promiscuity causes innumerable problems and that abstinence until marriage is the true foundation for a happy marriage. Bev’s book, Hang on to Your Hormones, is both fascinating [...]
A recent study by Angus Reid Group suggests that the Canadian family is in pretty good shape. Seventy-five per cent of adults surveyed described their current family lives as happy, and over ninety per cent believe their lives growing up were as good as or better than other families.

Rose Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. In an open letter to the Prime Minister, CCCB president Bishop Jean-Guy Hamelin explained his opposition to the “population control through abortion” agenda of the Cairo population conference. “How unworthy it would be for our country to line up with those who would control the poor instead of joining them in solidarity…to work for the good [...]
The frustration has reached a boiling point and the inevitable has happened. Another abortionist has been shot dead in Pensacola, Florida. On July 29, Paul Hill joined Michael Griffen on the list of activists who went too far. Hill fired shots into the car of abortionist John Bayard Britton, killing him and his bodyguard. As governments continue to crack down on peaceful [...]
When Sue Rodriguez first came to public attention through her court battle to have someone kill her, I felt there had to be more to her personal situation than we gleaned through the media. It was difficult, however, to suggest that there was more than the quest of an attractive and articulate woman who argued her cause rationally and plausibly. We all [...]
“To educate in mind and not morals is to educate a menace to society.” Theodore Roosevelt Surprise! Surprise! Raising kids is society’s job – not the sole responsibility of parents, according to Sandra Griffin, assistant co-ordinator of child-care research at the University of Victoria and co-chair of the “Stronger Children – Stronger Families” conference which took place earlier this summer.
