This is not the first time that Liberal MP Keith Martin has brought up this compromise for the Harper government's maternal health care plan: each G8 country should be responsible for one aspect of maternal and infant health so that one nation will take micro-nutrients and another safe deliveries and a third "reproductive health" including abortion and contraception. At first glance this might [...]
Run With Life's Patricia Maloney has done a great job discovering that the taxpayer-funded Status of Women Canada gave the Pro-Choice Action Network more than $27,000 to do a smear job on crisis pregnancy centers. Not surprisingly, SOW hasn't given money to any CPC. Disturbingly untrue ProCan says in its application for funding that their goal was to "publicly expose the anti-woman and [...]
‘The culture of death is all-pervasive’ For nine years, The Interim and Niagara Region Right to Life have been co-sponsoring the Father Ted Colleton Scholarship program. The topics have varied over the years, but they have always challenged students to think more deeply about pro-life issues and to write about them cogently.

Liberal foreign affairs critic Bob Rae tabled a motion that would require “the maternal and child health initiative for the world’s poorest regions” to “include the [...]
An Ekos poll released today trumpets that Canadians are "decisively" pro-choice. On the rather straight-forward question of "Thinking about your general views on abortion, would you say you are more pro-life or pro-choice." I consider that a non-leading question and yet it allows for ambiguity. It says nothing about policy or restrictions. Indeed, other polls show a majority of Canadians to be "pro-choice" but [...]
I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine who is on a committee to save an elementary school (our childhood elementary school) from being closed by the school board. There are simply not enough students to warrant keeping it open, so the board is adjusting school zones to justify boarding up St. Rita's and sending its dwindling population to two [...]
Check out the website Parental Choice that opposes full-day kindergarten which is just universal daycare in disguise. Not a lot at the website right now but sign up for updates. Full-day kindergarten for four- and five-year-olds is too costly and totally unnecessary.
