She was beautiful, almost radiant. She was intelligent, witty, poised. She was, in fact, everything that a young woman like myself (who likes to think herself "liberated") would strive to emulate. But when Iona Campagnolo uttered her strategized pro-abortion clichés with chilling, resentful conviction, my illusion of her and any respect I had for her, was shattered... About two days before Ms. [...]
We tend to forget that the good deeds of one courageous, intelligent and dedicated man or woman can effect profound changes in our lives for which all should ever be grateful. Such a man is Paul Formby.
On Mother's Day we held our fourth annual Rally and Walk. As in previous years, it was a tremendous success. In spite of its success, some people have asked if we feel it is effective - doing the same thing year after year, and is it, in any way, helping to stop abortions? Without hesitation, I answer "yes" to both questions, but [...]
The Edmonton Respect for Life Week, May 8-15, was a great success. With an event organized for each day, Mrs. Kathleen Toth reports that Campaign Life Alberta now has a much wider public recognition and she is frequently being consulted by members of the media wanting pro-life information. Among events were the Mother's Day Rally which gathered together over 200 pro-lifers. A [...]
The Right to Life Association of Thunder Bay and area published 3,000 names in the Chronicle-Journal on May 11. Containing names from Thunder Bay, Beardmore, Emo, Fort Frances, Jellico, Nipigon, Marathon, Rainy River, Schreiber and Terrace Bay, the Prologue in the ad reads: "The persons listed herein have voluntarily offered their names for publication and their donations have paid the cost of [...]
The Alberta Signature Campaign, planned to coincide with Edmonton's Respect for Life Week, was a huge success. Paid advertisements were inserted in six Alberta dailies. The ads consisted of 37,824 lines of names of those supporting the right lo life of every individual from conception to natural death. This figure is even more impressive than it appears. People signed as individuals or [...]
Abortion propaganda in the early seventies used to fire off the slogan that only the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church opposed abortion. The last decade has proven them wrong. Abortion is a grass roots issue. It is also a Protestant one. Unfortunately though, the majority of evangelical Protestants have remained silent for too long. We have played into the hands of [...]
On Mother's Day this year we celebrated the birth of a special Canadian baby. Small but vocal, like all newborns, this child represents the true women's movement. This pro-family, pro-life national women's organization, the R.E.A.L. Women of Canada, was conceived by a group of women who could no longer tolerate the way the majority is being represented. Together with the media, the [...]
Somebody has said, "I like witnesses who get killed." So do I but I have to confess that I belong to another ilk! Since history began there have been as many causes as there have been decades, and each cause produces its own heroes, its own witnesses who set no boundaries to the sacrifices demanded; men and women who are prepared to [...]
As reported in the March '83 edition of The Interim, Campaign life Alberta has been organizing a signature collection campaign to celebrate the Edmonton Pro-Life Week, May 8 to may 15, endorsed by Edmonton Mayor, Cec Purvis. The drive had collected 36,000 signatures by Tuesday, April 26. Kathleen Toth, National Campaign life President, told The Interim in a phone interview that she [...]
Lead by a pipe band and carrying banners and placards to state their knowledge, about 7,000 Pro-Life supporters marched in silence down University Avenue. The crowds occupied three lanes of pavement and stretched from Queen's Park to well past Elm street. The march went past Mount Sinai Hospital, the hospital for Sick Children, Toronto General Hospital and, of course, the Ontario Parliament [...]
It began in March of this year and continues until March 1984, that posters were permitted placement on Kitchener-Waterloo buses. Members of the K-W Right to Life Association approached the Transit Commission there, who in turn had to clear the move with the Regional Council. The advertisement was approved because of freedom of speech as opposed to a pro-life attitude on the [...]
The following contains an editorial from The Catholic Register, Mar. 5, 1983 on Mr. Borowski's predicament. As pointed out below, Joe Borowski needs cash - a lot of it. He wants to challenge the abortion law's failure to protect the unborn child. It will cost $350,000. Borowski knows pro-life groups live on the boarder of the black and the red, so he's [...]
His name was Franz Jaeggerstaetter but you will not find it in any "Who's Who' in the world. He was what would be called a 'small Austrian farmer' with a wife and two young children, and when Hitler united Austria to Germany by force in the 'Anschluss' of March 1938, he was probably in his early thirties. Franz had only grade school [...]
Launched March 7, 1983, the Campaign Life produced commercials featuring Dr. Bernard Nathanson, have proven tremendously popular and were devastating to pro-abortion forces who were taken by complete surprise with this new strategy to inform the public. Within minutes of the first commercials on March 7, around 11:00 a.m, Campaign Life phones were ringing in congratulations. The commercials sparked media interest and [...]
