Habitat 11 may prove to be another testing ground for pro-family forces The next large U.N. conference Habitat 11 to be held in Istanbul June 3-14, 1996 is to address the problems of human settlements [cities]. Many fear that this conference will be an attempt to implement at the local level all the radical policies adopted in Cairo, Rio, Copenhagan and Being. [...]
Premier Ralph Klein and the Alberta College of Physicians and surgeons play a shameless game of political football in an effort to defuse a popular movement In the end the Alberta government’s efforts to de-fund abortions seemed to vapourize into thin air. However, Premier Ralph Klein’s decision not to handle this hot potato may have landed him in hot water with ma [...]
A legal battle between the province of New Brunswick and Henry Morgentaler ended on August 17 when the Supreme Court rejected a provincial application for an appeal hearing. The lengthy legal battle began in the summer of 1994 when Morgentaler opened an abortuary in Fredericton. The province reacted swiftly and firmly by denying Morgentaler his medical licence and by using a 1985 [...]
U.S. government stays silent relying on Canadian delegation to push radical agenda at women’s conference. A frustrated African delegate summed up the UN’s Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing by asking, “Is this conference on women, or is it about population and sex.” Many other delegates left the conference with the same question. They also left feeling it could have been [...]
Parliament is due to return September 18. In the past six years of praying, fasting and witnessing on Parliament Hill some of the victories I have noticed are these: The defeat of Bill C-43, the essentially flawed abortion bill passed by the Mulroney government at the end of May 1990, by a 43-43 tie vote in the Senate at the end of [...]
Next year is an election year in the U.S. and President Bill Clinton is once again worried about family values. Acting on the advice of his handlers, the president has begun to shy away from liberal interest groups, trying to position himself as a more moderate president. Thus, the U.S. delegation could not afford to look like radicals at the United Nations [...]
Sharon Hayes, Reform MP for Port Moody-Coquitlam, has challenged the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Status of Women to clearly state the “utter rejection by Canadians of Chinese Government policies that endorse the mandated one child policy, the murder of inmates for body parts and now the consumption of human fetuses’ as health food.” As Health and Family Critic for the Reform [...]
Poor Linda Groce. She’s doing 12 months in jail for illegal sidewalk counselling outside of Robert Scott’s Toronto abortuary. She is also one of the 18 pro-lifers charged two years ago by the former NDP government for their pro-life activities. Linda, 46, the mother of three children is well acquainted with the serious problems ensuing from having an abortion (having had one [...]
Judge declares a pre-born baby a “future human being, already alive.” Paris- In early July, a French court acquitted pro-life activists for blocking access to an abortion ward at Paris’ Satpetriere hospital last November. The acquittal was granted on the grounds that the pre-born baby is a “future human being.” Presiding Judge Thierry Denervoix de Bonnefond de Lavialle said a fetus is [...]
Is it true that surgeons can operate on a preborn baby? C.S. Mississauga Yes, it is true. Today, such is the state of the art of medicine, a baby can be removed from his mother’s womb for surgery, and then replaced. Many conditions which require surgery are treated whilst this little “second patient” is still inside the uterus. In A Time to [...]
The woman who played a central role in the legalization of abortion in the U.S., now claims she is pro-life. Norma McCorvey, who, as Jane Roe served as the plaintiff in the class action Roe vs. Wade (the Supreme Court case that won the day for pro-abortionists in the U.S.), had always been portrayed as a hero for “women’s rights.” Until recently, [...]
The chronology of abortion-related violence in Canada begins with the arson at Henry Morgentaler’s abortion clinic on Harbord Street in Toronto during the early morning hours of May 19, 1992. It reportedly caused $500,000 in damage. Witnesses reported that a man and a woman ran down an alleyway near the clinic after the explosion, jumped into a grey, compact car and sped [...]
“Access to abortion in Canada is being smothered by pro-life activism. Lock up the pro-lifers and throw away the key.” That has been the cry across the land from abortionists and women’s groups. Two years ago, the NDP government of Ontario initiated a lawsuit against 18 pro-life activists who were accused of strangling access to this “legal medical procedure.” Not only has [...]
Restrictive freedom of speech bill draws little opposition On June 27, 1995 one of the most restrictive freedom of speech bills in all of North America passed in the BC Legislature with an over-whelming majority and scarcely a word of opposition was heard. Bill 48, also known as the Access to Abortion Services Act was designed specifically to make illegal what was [...]
The election of Mike Harris’ Conservative party in Ontario has serious implications for both family life and the defence of the unborn children. Harris’ platform calls for a fundamental shift of wealth and power in the province. A keystone of his campaign was a promise to cut provincial income taxes by 30 percent, a promise which will put thousands of extra dollars [...]
