Dutch to formally legalize euthanasia

Plans to legalize euthanasia under "strict" guidelines are expected to gain approval next year in the Netherlands, making it the first country in the world to formally legalize euthanasia. "Mercy killing" has been taking place without prosecution in Holland with greater and greater frequency over the past 25 years. A series of court decisions starting in 1973 resulted in the establishment of [...]

Global warming: more fiction than fact

A massive slab of ice the size of the Yukon Territory breaks off of the Antarctic continent and melts, raising the sea level and flooding coastal cities around the world. A four-month-long heat wave strikes the Canadian wheat belt, desiccates the soil, sets crop yields to zero, and sends the global economy into chaos. The Saharan desert takes over two-thirds of Africa, [...]

Landmark settlement for B.C. abortion survivor

The attention and focus is lost on Ximena Renaerts. She has no comprehension of the stir caused over her birth, and the subsequent legal battle that ensued. For Ximena's parents, some form of justice has been done - and, more importantly, Ximena's needs will be taken care of for the rest of her life. It all started in December 1985. Ximena's birth [...]

Are Catholic hospitals selling out?

A full-length column in a recent edition of the Catholic Register newspaper spells out how far one Catholic hospital has fallen in its enthusiastic adoption of the "gay" agenda. St. Michael's Hospital proudly announced that Toronto's Gay Pride Week, June 20-27, which culminated in an obscene "Gay Pride Parade" was "sponsored in part this year by St. Michael's Hospital." This was the [...]

Québec court orders abortion for ill woman

On July 30 news broke out of Québec City that Judge Paul Vezina ordered a 37-year-old psychiatric patient to undergo an abortion and sterilization against her will. For pro-lifers this sad story should come as no surprise, given the pathetic state of morality that is permeating Canada's mental health system. Nurses and psychiatrists working in Canada's various institutions frequently hand out condoms [...]

Calgary infanticide allegations unresolved

Police ‘investigation' fails to allay concerns about ‘genetic termination' abortions An "investigation" into eugenic infanticides at a Calgary hospital has failed to exonerate the hospital, and pro-lifers vow to continue searching for the truth. In April, Alberta Report magazine broke a horrifying story about babies born alive and left to die after "genetic terminations" at Calgary Foothills Hospital. A "genetic termination" is [...]

“This world is not this world”

"I gained an important perspective on Auschwitz from an Israeli dentist who had spent years in that camp. We were completing a long interview, during which he had told me about many things, including details of SS dentists' supervision of prisoners' removal of gold fillings from the teeth of fellow jews killed in the gas chambers. He looked about the comfortable room [...]

Abortion-breast cancer link may lead to lawsuits

An idealistic American lawyer just out of law school is hoping to move the breast cancer-abortion controversy to a new level by finding one or more women prepared to launch a lawsuit against an abortion provider for not warning about the abortion-related risk of breast cancer. Abortionists may not be the only ones at risk, though; John Kindley says that medical bodies [...]

Modern society’s fatherhood crisis

More than 40 per cent of children now spend a large proportion of their childhood in single parent homes, compared with just five per cent of kids who lived only with their mothers in 1960. Seventy per cent of institutionalized juvenile offenders in the U.S. come from fatherless homes, and children from broken families are twice as likely to drop out of [...]

Abortion mentality infects hospitals

There is justice after all. For some time now rumours have been circulating about the settlement reached in the Ximena Renaerts abortion case. You know the one, where Ximena was born alive at Buchenwald General in Vancouver and left to die by their courageous medical staff? Well, risking the possibility that I am showing "disdain" for this fine medical institution, I will [...]

More reasons for electing judges

I was sitting in a University Avenue courtroom in Toronto a few years ago at a murder case. The prosecution wanted to introduce another witness. The judge glanced at a clock on the wall, saw that it was 4:00 p.m., and asked, "How long will the witness be?" "Oh, Your Honour, I would say a good half hour." The judge banged his [...]

Preventive capital punishment

Imagine the following scenario. Many years from now, experts think they notice a drop in the rate of homelessness. One expert argues the drop is attributable to a law, passed a few decades previously, which granted citizens the right to execute certain types of people: alcoholics, people with mental illnesses, and teenagers who have been sexually or physically abused. "Since these types [...]
