"Religious leaders didn't pull the trigger on Dr. Slepian or bash in the skull of Matthew Shepard, but their blood is dripping off the hands of religious leaders who have, with vitriolic language, incited zealous followers to murder abortion doctors and gays and lesbians. "We must hold accountable the Pope, the bishops, local clergy, conservative Protestant leaders such as Dr. [...]
Tory Senator Ron Ghitter, Q.C., believes that religious conservatives "pose the greatest threat to the maintenance and advancement of human rights in our nation." In Ghitter's estimation, "theo-conservatives" are more dangerous to Canadian society than "skinheads, the Aryan Nation and white supremacists." Senator Ghitter's recent address entitled, "Theo-conservatism: A Threat to Human Rights," delivered at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, N.B., amounts [...]

Garth Drabinsky was on the phone! Why on earth was he calling me?, I wondered. I said to him, "I don't think we've met, Mr. Drabinsky, but I was down to your office a few months ago to try to get a donation for Campaign Life. Your secretary had a big picture of Henry Morgentaler over her desk, and she told me [...]

The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity - W. B. Yeats, "The Second Coming" Unfortunately, these oft-quoted lines ring true now even more than when they were written in 1920. They point to one of the most peculiar tragedies of modern culture: while Error asserts itself aggressively with unblinking self-confidence, Truth can barely clear its throat [...]
Last month, part one of this article traced the history of legalized abortion from 1969 to 1988. The 1988 Regina vs. Morgentaler decision, which left Canada lawless with regard to abortion, has come back to haunt our current Supreme Court Chief Justice, Antonio Lamer.

A "Pro-Life Pledge" initiative, launched by the Pro-Life Pledge Alliance in Santa Ana, Calif., appears to be meeting stiff resistance in circles where you would expect it to obtain at least grudging support.

Whether due to naivete or a bold streak, Reform MP Eric Lowther has decided to take on Ottawa's pro-United Nations bureaucracy all but single-handedly. Being told to get lost by a bureaucrat in the Department of Canadian Heritage was added motivation to push ahead. Mr. Lowther is the Reform Party's children and families critic and also a member of the Parliamentary Heritage [...]
