Procedures deemed 'unspeakable butchery' by feminist columnist The news that provinces including Quebec, British Columbia and Ontario have been sending pregnant women to the U.S. for late-term abortions - at a cost of around $5,000 (US) each - has been met with incredulity in not just the pro-life community, but society at large as well. Numerous, large-scale media outlets, including the CBC [...]
On Nov. 2, Americans will go to the polls to elect a president, 435 representatives and one-third of the Senate, not to mention thousands of state and local level politicians.

This is especially true for pro-life [...]
Joseph Goebbels famously said that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will begin to believe it. When it comes to the media narrative of the 2004 federal election, it has been repeated so often that despite obvious errors of fact and interpretation, it has become a truism that social conservatives cost the Conservative party its chance to form the government.

Show the Truth went to "the hearts of darkness" when a recent tour took it to the major abortuaries of Toronto. The August 9-13 engagement visited the Morgentaler, Scott and Cabbagetown abortuaries, as well as the lesser-known ones of Zarifi Markovic in north Toronto and Katherine Chu in Scarborough. As expected, the sight of large, graphic signs depicting aborted preborn humans did [...]
It is the stuff of horror movies and science-fiction novels: human body parts harvested, bought and sold on an open market. In recent years, this scenario has emerged from the depths of our nightmares to find its way into reality. Although many stories of organ thefts and "body stealing" have been debunked as urban legend, it is a problem that not only [...]
