Let me start this month by introducing a new columnist, Victor Penney.

It is a bit of an experiment but I think you might enjoy the lighter side of these serious issues (although it might not always be so light). [...]

Josie Luetke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey Pro-lifers are normally preoccupied with the challenge of making other people pro-life. We aren’t as focused on keeping the ones we already have … we shouldn’t have to be, right? However, multiple times now, I’ve been posed the question: Why do people not stay pro-life? Many stalwarts in the movement have been [...]
Rory Leishman: It was on June 24, 2022, that the Supreme Court of the United States released its judgment in Dobbs v. Jackson that overturned Roe v. Wade, the calamitous 1973 ruling which alleged that women have a fundamental constitutional right to abortion. At the time, Dobbs was widely regarded as the greatest triumph for the pro-life movement in 50 years, yet, [...]
The World Wildlife Fund released its annual “Living Planet Report” subtitled “A system in peril.” The report states that “nature is being lost – with huge implications for us all,” asserting “biodiversity sustains human life and underpins our society.” We cannot help but wonder why there are no international organizations or agencies releasing similar reports decrying the systemic extermination of preborn children [...]
By Joanna Alphonso: The purpose of abortion is to terminate the life of the unborn child. When that fails, and the child is born alive, he or she is simply left to die. This is happening right here, at home, in Canada. Canada is the only country in the Western hemisphere without a law on abortion. As a result, abortions are legally [...]
Oswald Clark: The American Life League released a report, “Beneath the Surface: Exposing the Abortion Pill Drug Cartel” that shows that since the fall of Roe v.

Since the 2022 Dobbs [...]

Victor Penney: Interim writer Victor Penney, Sporting Life One of the strongest pro-life messages during this U.S. Presidential election hasn’t come from everyone’s “favourite” Republican candidate. In fact, it hasn’t even come from a politician. It’s from someone who made a good living by getting grown men to knock over tackling dummies. So, who is it? It’s none other than [...]
Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey Josie Luetke: Linda Gibbons and Mary Wagner have long been personal heroines of mine. When I was still just a high school student I was personally challenged by their witness and seriously wrestled with the dilemma of whether I—and the rest of the pro-life movement—should be so committed to the defense of the pre-born [...]
