The woman who played a central role in the legalization of abortion in the U.S., now claims she is pro-life. Norma McCorvey, who, as Jane Roe served as the plaintiff in the class action Roe vs. Wade (the Supreme Court case that won the day for pro-abortionists in the U.S.), had always been portrayed as a hero for “women’s rights.” Until recently, [...]
A New York abortionist has been convicted of murder. He faces up to 25 years in prison after performing an abortion that killed a 33-year-old Honduran immigrant woman. Dr. David Benjamin performed the abortion on Guadalupe Negron who was five months pregnant at the time. Failing to examine Negron to determine gestation, Benjamin perforated the woman’s uterus and left her unattended while [...]
Off the wire A euthanasia bill was rejected by the state Parliament of South Australia on July 27. The bill would have allowed terminally-ill adults to have themselves killed within a year of their anticipated date of death. The Italian National Committee on Bioethics has rejected the idea of euthanasia and called for palliative care. The committee referred to euthanasia as “gravely [...]
There has been so much in the news recently about last year’s Cairo Conference on Populations and Development and the forthcoming Beijing Women’s Conference in September that I felt myself almost impelled to do some study on world population and the world food situation. I confined myself to three sources, The War Against the Family, by William D. Gairdner; The War Against [...]
Senator Anne Cools, a Pierre Trudeau appointee to the Senate, took considerable heat last March when she stated at an International Women’s Day Celebration that “behind every abusing husband is an abusing mother.” Were the feminists ever angry about that! Cool’s statement, in effect, discredited one of their dearest theories—namely, that women are not only helpless victims at the mercy of brutish [...]
These days, the mere suggestion of a UN conspiracy brings an immediate hail of scorn. However, by tracing the UN’s movements since the 1950s, Winifride Prestwich has put together a pretty good case. Freedom, both religious and political, can never be taken for granted. In 1995, people in Britain, Ireland, the USA, and Canada are learning, to their dismay, that many of [...]
Opinion polls clearly show Canadians’ distaste with genetic engineering. Why is the Health Minister dodging the issue? Medical and legal experts have long recognized that scientific and technological developments in regard to new reproductive technologies (NRT) have far outstripped the law. They have warned that, unchecked by legislation, this “area of research is par excellence one likely to produce problems for mankind [...]
U.S. Congressman brings conviction and inspiration to the annual National Pro-Life Conference in London It seems almost fitting that Chris Smith, possessor of the commonest of surnames, would hold some of the rarest political convictions in North America. But this U.S. Congressman breaks the mold of your typical Washington politico. He is a Republican in the Democrat stronghold of New Jersey; a [...]

Bob Rae is gone! Who am I going to pick on? Many readers have asked me what I am going to write about now that my nemesis Bob Rae has been banished to a far away spot in the legislature and consigned to a part-time job with the University of Toronto. Readers may remember that I wanted Bob out of the country [...]
A couple of weeks ago an article appeared in one of the daily newspapers under the title “Abortion protester limit to be reviewed.” According to this article, “Anti-abortion protestors might be able to resume picketing three Toronto clinics if Ontario’s new Attorney-general decides a court injunction against them violates free speech.” To refresh the memories of readers, former Attorney-general Marion Boyd got [...]
The chronology of abortion-related violence in Canada begins with the arson at Henry Morgentaler’s abortion clinic on Harbord Street in Toronto during the early morning hours of May 19, 1992. It reportedly caused $500,000 in damage. Witnesses reported that a man and a woman ran down an alleyway near the clinic after the explosion, jumped into a grey, compact car and sped [...]
