The bad outweighs the good in report -Royal Commission on Reproductive Technologies fails to deal with the basic issues

When the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies was formed by the federal Progressive Conservative government four years ago, its mandate was to investigate the baby-making industry in Canada, to listen to the concerns raised by both experts and ordinary people, and give the politicians a guide on how to form public policy in an area which has been allowed to expand [...]

A time for healing

Have you heard all the fuss about the pregnant cheerleaders from Hempstead, Texas? When four of the sixteen-member high school squad became pregnant, the school board voted to remove three of the girls who were continuing their pregnancies from the squad. The fourth girl, who had an abortion, chose not to return. The cheerleading angle captured the media’s attention, and that in [...]

A Modern Angel Gabriel

The Angel Gabriel and Frank D’Angelo have some surprising things in common. Both are messengers with long flowing hair, both have “angel” in their name and both are friends to the child in the womb. In fact, Frank could never imagine how anyone could ever think of harming a child. But, some 20 years ago, a schoolmate told him he was taking [...]

Dissident Catholic put up a front

U.S. Bishops formally disown pro-choice lobby group Forget about Catholics for Free Choice—it’s a contradiction in terms. Catholic bishops from the U.S. have put an end to any pretensions Catholics for Free Choice might have to speak as a Catholic organization. They say the pro-abortion group can “in no way speak for the Catholic Church’s 59 million members in the United States. [...]

Mystery still hidden in the ashes

I don’t know what we were expecting when we walked into the police station at 14 Division to see for the first time the man who blew up the Morgentaler Clinic in Toronto. MetroPolice were finally going to unveil the photo of the man caught in the act in the early hours of that May night in 1992 when the Harbord Street [...]

I have two questions about the UNICEF articles. (1) What, if any, is Maggie Black’s connection with UNICEF? (2) What was Canada’s position, internationally, on population control in the early 1970s?

Bias masquerades as study

Recent media coverage of a book, Sex, Abortion and Unmarried Women by Paul Sachdev, which claims guilt over abortion is rare, is misleading in the extreme. This work is being presented as an “academic study.” It is not. If works based on personal experiences (as in studies by David Reardon “Aborted Women – Silent No More” or W.E.B.A. [women Exploited Bt Abortion]) [...]

THE MONTH IN REVIEW

PUT JACK IN JAIL It took 17 deaths before a Michigan prosecutor finally decided to charge Jack Kevorkian of assisting in a suicide. Kevorkian has clearly broken the law and should serve the four years in prison but it does not seem likely he will serve any time. Kevorkian’s lawyer Geoffrey Fieger has publicly dared prosecutors to charge his client and appears [...]

A most rewarding experience

Omaha, Nebraska – As a finale to the 25th celebration of Pope Paul VI’s famous encyclical Humane Vitae, a fine concert was held in the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The music was superb but thunderous applause awaited the appearance of a little 16-year-old with a beautiful voice and a stunning message. Her birth mother chose a saline abortion in the [...]

Mainline leaders offer little hope for pro-lifers

Since the first abortion law passed in this country in 1969, Canada has not had a pro-life federal political leader in politics. A generation of politicians has come and gone, many of whom claimed to be pro-life, and yet we have virtually abortion on demand. And now another election approaches this fall and members of the pro-life movement ask themselves what the [...]

I am looking for a quotation from a speech by Henry Hyde in which he described the way in which aborted babies will speak up for pro-life workers when they die and stand before God.

Ontario to fund an abortion franchise for Ottawa area

Taxpayers to foot the half million a year bill Ottawa will be the site of Ontario’s newest free-standing abortion facility and Henry Morgentaler will in all probability be its operator. The news comes as no surprise to Eastern Ontario pro-lifers who have been fighting the establishment of an abortion clinic there for nearly two years. Ontario Health Minister Ruth Grieg announced July [...]
