The Genocide Awareness Project is the brainchild of Gregg Cunningham, the executive director and founder of the Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR). CBR was founded in 1990 as a non-profit educational corporation, operating on the principle that abortion represents an evil so inexpressible that words cannot be effective to describe its horror. "Until abortion is seen, it will never be understood," Cunningham [...]
By Paul Tuns The InterimOn March 11, the Senate approved Bill C-6, An Act Respecting Assisted Human Reproduction and Related Research (formerly C-13). The media dutifully did the government's bidding by erroneously reporting that the government's reproductive and experimental technologies bill bans human cloning and regulates embryonic stem cell research. Such claims have proven to be untrue. As an analysis by Campaign [...]
My Darling Patrick: As you know, before your dad and I allow you to watch any movie that is rated higher than a PG, we sit and talk alone or with you about the content, appropriateness, etc. of the movie. There are many times when we decide that a movie is not appropriate based on the violence, sexual content or profanity. There [...]
By Michael Taube The InterimAs I headed to a matinee performance of The Passion of the Christ, some thoughts rolled into my head. Would I enjoy the film? Would my staunch defence of this film be justified? Would I be the only Jew in the audience watching the film? The answers to these questions were: yes, yes, and (I think) yes. Upon [...]
By Gail Reid Special to The InterimEvery Christian should see Mel Gibson's movie, The Passion of The Christ. Not because it's the most authentic portrayal of Jesus Christ's last 12 hours, but because it synthesizes into two intense hours God's plan to save the world at cosmic cost. Passion plays have been popular for centuries, but this movie brings us up close [...]
"…A powerful witness to the truth of traditional Christianity, precisely that force that liberal elites have been trying to still for decades. It's Christianity-and especially orthodox Catholicism and evangelicalism-that denies them their total victory in the culture wars. Proponents of abortion, gay marriage, radical feminism, multiculturalism and postmodernism all harbor a deep fear of the truth claims of Christianity." Crisis editor Deal [...]
amanda bright@home by Danielle Crittenden (Warner Books, $34.95, 322 pages) Reviewed by Christina Tuns The Interim As I began reading Danielle Crittenden's latest book amanda bright@home, I was concerned when the acknowledgments said that the title character had originally come to life in the National Post and Wall Street Journal online. I was concerned that not having read any of Crittenden's serializations [...]
As Mary Ellen Douglas says in our cover story on C-6 (formerly C-13) passing the Senate to become law, the battle is not over. In fact, it has just begun. In many ways, March 11 will be like May 14, 1969, when Pierre Trudeau's Liberal government passed an omnibus bill that legalized abortion. With one defeat in the battle to defend human [...]
In recent weeks, there have been numerous nomination meetings across the country and we are both surprised and pleased with the number of pro-life candidates who are winning their respective party's nominations. We are pleased for obvious reasons: the more pro-life candidates there are, the greater the chance of electing more pro-life MPs, and the more pro-life MPs there are in Parliament, [...]
By Gillian Long The InterimPro-life leaders can be assured there are some young pro-life activists stepping up to the plate to reinvigorate the movement. On March 17, students at the University of British Columbia, University College of the Cariboo, University of Alberta, University of Manitoba, University of Toronto, and Carleton University in Ottawa, working in conjunction with the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical [...]
In October of 2003, and for the first time in the United States, the abortion industry settled a malpractice lawsuit based on the link between abortion and breast cancer. The Cherry Hill Women's Centre in New Jersey failed to inform a woman of both the breast-cancer, as well as the mental, risks of induced abortion. The plaintiff, identified only as "Sarah" to [...]
There should be communication in the family. In spite of the different opinions which always occur in families, the family should be characterized by peace, love and joy. American author Dolores Curran's book, Traits of a Healthy Family, tells how she wrote a letter and sent it to 500 "experts" on the question of family living. In the letter, she gave 56 [...]
Anyone who has spent any amount of time in our movement knows how hard it can be to keep the batteries charged. I am, of course, talking about the many defeats we seem to experience - even though our cause is a righteous cause. After all, are we not trying to be a voice for the voiceless? None of us garner anything [...]
Once, in a washroom at Halifax Airport, I discovered that the paper towel dispenser was empty. The condom machine was full, but towels are better for drying hands. In Toronto last year, the condom dispensers in the lady's room were equally well stocked, but it was impossible to get cough drops in any of the terminal's many kiosks. On CBC radio last [...]
The Supreme Court of Canada judges have been described as tin-pot dictators who want to rewrite Canadian laws to align them with their own biased opinions. "Sexual orientation" is a fairly recent homosexual buzzword thought up by the homosexual public relations department and makes no more sense than "heterosexual orientation" would. Yet the judicial activist Supreme Court of Canada overruled Parliament and [...]
