Fatherhood not feminism

All too often, fathers of unborn children have no say in deciding whether their own child lives or dies. But how often is this terrible situation reversed? That is, how often is it that the unwilling father who, through active encouragement or deliberate neglect, forces a “liberated” woman to abort the very child he has sired? Feminists offer no help to mothers, [...]

Feminism and sex

The women’s movement of the last century helped eliminate legal inequality between the two sexes. This significant accomplishment is largely forgotten, precisely because a new generation of feminists downplays its importance. Indeed, the remarkable achievement of legal equality has made the modern-day women’s movement a crusade without a cause. Lacking the legal hurdles which their mothers overcame, feminists now tilt at windmills; [...]

Is abortion genocide?

  The Genocide Awareness Project, which draws parallels between abortion, slavery and the Holocaust, is what the pundits call "divisive." Using images of aborted children, lynched slaves and murdered Jews, the powerful visual displays of the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) attempt to show the similarity between abortion and these other dark chapters of human history. However, critics of GAP - of which [...]

… and censorship renewed

Sadly, the effects of the HRCs' pernicious thinking were displayed by the University of Calgary last month when, without even a fig-leaf of justification, authorities attempted to halt a display by the campus's pro-life group. The Genocide Awareness Project, which has held similar displays on the U of C's campus for the last five years, was threatened and intimidated by campus thugs, [...]

Censorship rebuked …

In a time of unprecedented political upheaval, it seems that there is only one thing about which all Canadians can agree: that Section 13 of the Human Rights Act should be repealed. In a stunning display of intellectual honesty, voices from all across the ideological spectrum have emerged to denounce the outrageous behaviour of Canada's self-appointed censors. The human rights commissions' campaign [...]

Time to shut down HRCs

As we went to press, there was some unexpected good news. Richard Moon's report on theCanada Human Rights Commission recommended repealing section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act which has been used to curtail the freedoms of speech, the press and religion, under the guise of punishing and preventing hate. (See page 6 news briefs.) This is a great first step, [...]

Pro-life politics

In the last year, both Canada and United States held federal elections. Neither country elected a pro-life leader. During his campaign, Stephen Harper proved he was more progressive than conservative and Barack Obama has pledged to sign the abominable Freedom of Choice Act into law as soon as he can. But, while these elections do not offer much hope for the protection [...]

The season of joy

It seems strange that Christmas should occur at the coldest, bleakest time of year. No obvious connection between the spiritual feast and the seasonal frost presents itself. And yet, for some reason, it is not the vivacity of summer's strength, the fecundity of spring's renewal, nor the bounty of autumn's harvest, but winter that is associated with the human birth of God. [...]

From persecution to prosecution

In Canada, freedom of speech has become a topic unfit for polite company. For a country that talks endlessly about its Charter of Rights and its values, it is sad that some rights are now less popular - and less protected - than others. While all Canadians enjoy human rights, not all rights are created equal. And, while Christians are overtly being [...]
