For me, the range of topics covered was very good. I found the pro-life movement has really matured in its scope and how it handles things. The peace and calmness in the face of the horror of the culture of death was what I needed to hear and experience. In the midst of all that is happening, it was good to hear [...]
Babies aren't the only targets of the abortion industry and its supporters. The record shows that pro-aborts in Canada and the U.S. often direct their extremism at pro-life activists, tooBy Tony Gosgnach The Interim Although violence perpetrated against abortion providers and associated personnel has garnered mounds of media coverage in the last few years - reaching a peak with the 1998 murder [...]
By Andrea Procher The Interim Chivalry is dead!" Such is the oft-heard cry of the 1990s non-feminist female. Believe it or not, guys, there are more than a few women who are still honoured when you open a door or pull out a chair for them. But before we go blaming the men for a lack of chivalry, we must consider how [...]

By Tim Bloedow The Interim Three years ago the Liberal government introduced a bill, C-47, to criminalize and regulate various aspects of the reproductive and genetic technologies industry, but the 1997 election was called before the bill could be passed. Despite repeated promises that they would reintroduce legislation governing reproductive technologies, the Liberals have yet to do so, and they have avoided [...]
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Charlemagne and myself, we have all tried to form empires and our empires have crumbled in the dust, because they were founded on force. One Man alone founded an empire on love and today eighteen hundred years after his death, there are millions of men who are ready to lay down their lives for His Name. Can [...]
Talk about running a bulldozer over an egg carton - that's what the mainline media has been trying to do to Aid To Women. They've blown so much money on ink kicking around the Aid to Women Hallowe'en box project that I'm thinking of taking up a collection in the office to help them out. (I'll start it off with a bent [...]
Every year at this time, I find it an important part of our work to look back at the previous year and take stock of what we have accomplished and where we've been, in hope of improving the work that each of has been called to. Here in the People's Republic of British Columbia, our work is somewhat hindered by the fact [...]
By Alex Schadenberg The Interim In the recent article, "Successor to Alliance for Life Canada in the works" (Dec. 1999), I was quoted as being opposed to a new national educational pro-life organization. This is not entirely accurate. What I am convinced is necessary for the pro-life movement to be successful in the 21st century is that we develop a unified vision [...]

Moore The InterimA small, but strident and extremely self-righteous minority of leftist social engineers in this country are bound and determined to criminalize parental corporal punishment - also known as spanking. At issue is Section 43 of the Criminal Code, which provides a defence to parents and teachers charged [...]
PRO-LIFERS PONDERING IMPLICATIONS OF UNPRECEDENTED DECISION Christmas came early this year for Linda Gibbons, Ontario's pro-life prisoner of conscience. On Dec. 14, 1999, Linda was found guilty of one count of obstructing a peace officer and two counts of breaking probation, stemming from her peaceful pro-life witness within the government's no-protest "bubble-zone" outside Toronto's Scott abortuary Oct. 15, 1999. The convictions were [...]
In the last issue of The Interim, Alex Schadenberg made several comments regarding the efforts to re-establish a national educational pro-life organization. The various options for the new organization are currently being developed by a steering committee mandated by the former affiliates of Alliance for Life Canada. First, contrary to comments made in the article, I would like to confirm that the educational [...]

Plans underway to relaunch federal measure The end of November and early December, 1999, was a frustrating and confusing time for Canadians concerned about protecting the conscience rights of health care workers. Pro-lifers in particular have been pushing for years for conscience legislation to protect the employment and education of nurses who face pressure to participate in abortions.
