Exciting research being carried out at the Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown may have implications of interest to the pro-life community. We know that what can be done for animals, can often be done for humans. We have certainly seen that when scientists forget humans are not merely animals, the consequences can be horrendous. In this case, though, it's a positive development. [...]
Back in 1997, pro-life activist Cynthia Chauncey wrote a letter to the editor about Dolly, the world's first un-fathered sheep. "What is Dolly's real age?" she asked. "Does she start at zero like other newborns? Or is she the same age as her mother? More importantly, will they get the symptoms and ailments of old age at the same time? After all, [...]
There wasn't just cloning around happening when the Toronto chapter of the Raelian movement held a lecture on "Human Cloning: A Giant Step Forward for Humankind" in the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education building at the University of Toronto Feb. 26. The movement, considered a cult by most, gained notoriety recently when it claimed to have produced five cloned babies through [...]
It seems that dissent from the neo-liberal orthodoxy on university campuses is an offence that abortion advocates will not bear. At the first sign of rebellion from the party line, the tanks roll in. When pro-life students met with the full body of the board of directors of RyeSAC - the student government at Ryerson - a representative of the Ontario Coalition [...]
Quebec, the Canadian province with the highest rate of abortion and one of the lowest birthrates, is attempting to divert the looming ageing and worker shortage crises with incentives for child birth. The ruling PQ Party has offered to pay half the loans of graduating students if they have children within the first five years after graduation. The PQ has already promised [...]
Pro-life obervers of the international scene are horrified, but hardly surprised, at reports that Chinese lawmakers have called for the legalization of euthanasia. Shanghai deputy Zhu Shiming and 31 other delegates to the National People's Congress have presented a motion to the NPC calling for the swift passage of "right to die" legislation. They said euthanasia would eliminate patient suffering while allowing [...]
Police arrested a large man on Friday March 14, after he physically attacked the leader of Campaign Life Coalition B.C., John Hof. While Hof was picketing outside the fifty meter bubble zone surrounding an abortuary, an unknown assailant approached, looked at the sign Hof was holding pushed the sign, kicked it and punched Hof in the face. Hof told LifeSite that he [...]
For 20 years, Dr. Joel Brind has tried valiantly to spread the word that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer. The mainstream media have generally ignored or dismissed his work. Now, a British Columbia writer, Lorna R. Vanderhaeghe, is presenting a similar message. Well known in the field of alternative health, she is an editor, researcher, lecturer, and author [...]
As if the March of Dimes's support for eugenics and abortions in cases of fetal abnormality were not enough, pro-lifers now have an additional reason not to give money to the the charity. The Eliott Institute has pointed out that the MOD refuses to admit that abortion is a major risk factor in the low birth weight of subsequent babies. In announcing [...]
Lethbridge, Alta. lawyer Ron McDonald believes Canada's social conservative community faces serious potential danger in the coming months if Parliament passes Bill C-250, a federal law that would outlaw "hate" speech. "C-250 is hugely problematic," says McDonald. "If a pastor is convicted for speaking out about that (homosexual) behaviour, it could result in the assets of churches being seized." To combat the [...]
Editor's note: In order to accurately report on the event in question, and provide a picture of the thought patterns behind some current-day sex "educators" of young people, this article contains some graphic references to sexuality that may be offensive to some readers. Please use discretion in deciding whether to read it. It was more of the same when this year's Women's [...]
It is a very good time to think seriously about pro-life voting in Canada. Recent pro-life victories in the U.S. demonstrate the power of the democratic vote in pro-life matters. However, abortion and many related pro-life issues are not even on the political radar in Canada. Pro-lifers have a profound duty to vote for candidates who will protect the unborn, the sick, [...]
Campaign Life Coalition Youth is launching a new project this month. "We're very excited about it," reports Gillian Long, executive director of CLCY. "As far as we know, this particular thing has never been done in the pro-life movement." The Red Triangle Campaign seeks to draw parallels between the defenders of the Jews during the Nazi Holocaust and the defenders of the [...]
When David MacDonald performs on the main stage at the annual March for Life in Ottawa, it is almost more a result of personal experiences than from any theoretical opposition to abortion. The Ottawa-based musician's story is a testimony to the fact that abortion leaves scars not only on the mother, but the father of an aborted baby as well. MacDonald was [...]
