Editor's note: This article contains some graphic descriptions of a sexual education session. It was another Women's Health Matters Forum and Expo - and another opportunity for Planned Parenthood and the Bay Centre for Birth Control to impart their immoral and dangerous views on sexual health to impressionable high school-aged girls. The two joined in staging a multi-media "What's Your Sexual Health [...]
Interim StaffPro-lifers got a dose of encouragement recently in Toronto. Speaking at a prestigious private school conference with anti-life activists, pro-life speakers found that students, on the whole, favoured the pro-life position. The World Affairs Conference in Toronto, a symposium sponsored by Upper Canada College and Branksome Hall, two local private schools, featured several life issues as part of its 2004 event: [...]
LifeSite NewsQuebec pro-lifers have for years warned that the French-speaking population of that province is in danger of contracepting and aborting itself into oblivion. Since the so-called "Quiet Revolution" of the 1960s, which saw a catastrophic collapse of the overwhelmingly Catholic culture of Quebec, abortion rates have soared along with non-Francophone immigration. Demographers fear that the French-Canadian culture is becoming extinct along [...]
LifeSite NewsA study of pregnancy-associated deaths, published in the latest issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, has found that the mortality rate associated with abortion is 2.95 times higher than that associated with pregnancies carried to term. The study included the entire population of women 15 to 49 years of age in Finland between 1987 and 2000. The researchers [...]
Interim StaffReports from the United States and Sweden recently surfaced that illustrate the lethal consequences of the abortion culture for women who have induced and chemical abortions. It has been revealed by Fox News that in suburban Detroit, a 15-year-old girl died Jan. 8 as a result of a second-trimester abortion. Dr. Leigh Hlavaty performed an autopsy on 15-year-old Tamia Russell the [...]
Campaign Life Coalition British Columbia president John Hof placed the file on the desk at the B.C. Corporate Registry office in Victoria. Checking the financial status reports of various pro-abortion organizations has become an annual trek for pro-lifers, much as it is for those in the abortion industry who check out pro-life groups. But Hof never guessed he would come across so [...]
By Eli Schuster The InterimCanada's most prominent pro-abortion, radical feminist lobby group, the National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC), is in serious financial trouble and may be forced out of business. In March, the National Post reported the group has been so burdened by debt over the last two years that it "has been effectively closed" as it struggles [...]
amanda bright@home by Danielle Crittenden (Warner Books, $34.95, 322 pages) Reviewed by Christina Tuns The Interim As I began reading Danielle Crittenden's latest book amanda bright@home, I was concerned when the acknowledgments said that the title character had originally come to life in the National Post and Wall Street Journal online. I was concerned that not having read any of Crittenden's serializations [...]

On March 17, students at the University of British Columbia, University College of the Cariboo, University of Alberta, University of Manitoba, University of Toronto, and Carleton University in Ottawa, working in conjunction with the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical [...]
In October of 2003, and for the first time in the United States, the abortion industry settled a malpractice lawsuit based on the link between abortion and breast cancer. The Cherry Hill Women's Centre in New Jersey failed to inform a woman of both the breast-cancer, as well as the mental, risks of induced abortion. The plaintiff, identified only as "Sarah" to [...]
Anyone who has spent any amount of time in our movement knows how hard it can be to keep the batteries charged. I am, of course, talking about the many defeats we seem to experience - even though our cause is a righteous cause. After all, are we not trying to be a voice for the voiceless? None of us garner anything [...]
Once, in a washroom at Halifax Airport, I discovered that the paper towel dispenser was empty. The condom machine was full, but towels are better for drying hands. In Toronto last year, the condom dispensers in the lady's room were equally well stocked, but it was impossible to get cough drops in any of the terminal's many kiosks. On CBC radio last [...]
I have often wondered on what hill Canadian Christians would finally take a stand as our culture becomes increasingly dark. It appears to me that we have largely caved on abortion, we are in process of caving on the sinfulness of homosexuality, and the so-called mercy killing of the sick and aged is fast approaching as a new threat. I wish I [...]

The new website BoycottMTV.net has attracted more than 120,000 people, who say they will eschew a media outlet that, according to one British observer, has [...]
