Much ink is being spilled in the provincial and national press about fewer abortions in Alberta. Headline seekers such as Henry Morgentaler have come to town (Calgary), officiously offering "help" to resolve the problem. Actually, there is no problem. Alberta Health Minister Marv Moore is merely enforcing the prohibition against extra-billing, refusing to allow exceptions for abortionists. He is doing what his [...]
Henry Morgentaler's Halifax abortuary usually does abortions every two weeks. But when the new year arrived, it was closed because of staffing problems. CBC reported that the nurse administrator had left. No reason was given, other than a suggestion that it was hard to keep nurses in a non-profit environment. Tom Jardim, who pickets regularly at the clinic, said, "I was hoping [...]
For a man that has lost three straight rounds in his fight with the British Columbia government, Nelson, B.C. carpenter Jim Demers, puts up a brave face when he says he's not yet defeated. On Jan. 17, the B.C. Court of Appeal turned away Demers' effort to abort the provinces anti-protest "bubble-zone" law which has resulted in dozens of people being arrested [...]
Just after last year's UN child summit, David Hansen, a political advisor in Norway's Department of International Aid, admitted that the term "reproductive rights" in UN documents includes "safe" abortions. He added that it is important for Norway to emphasize nations who allow abortion are responsible to do it in a proper way. Later, Valgerd Svarstad Haugland, minister of culture and church [...]
Over the past few weeks, Canadian judges have been unusually busy, changing the law to suit their personal preferences. Yet there has been nary a peep of democratic protest. Consider the ruling on Dec. 20 of the Supreme Court of Canada in Chamberlain v. Surrey School District No. 36. At issue in this case was a request by James Chamberlain, a member [...]
At the Fifth Asian and Pacific Population Conference held in Bangkok, Thailand, in December, the United States delegation bravely withstood heavy criticism from the media and members of the international community as the lone defender of pro-life principles.

The Romanow Report on Health Care in Canada was issued Nov. 28, and pro-life leaders are criticizing the missed opportunity to free up healthcare funds by directing the provinces to de-list abortion. Pro-lifers note that abortion is not a medical necessity and therefore, should not be funded. Campaign Life Coalition national president Jim Hughes said that Romanow "did not look at, nor [...]
Over a two-week period late last year, abortionist and Humanist Association of Canada vice-president Henry Morgentaler twice attacked religion. At a Dec. 3 press conference, Morgentaler said the state should force the end of religious affiliations to hospitals. He said that their "biases" interfered with the "reproductive rights" of Canadian women and singled out Catholic teaching that abortion is a "serious sin" [...]
'You shouldn't always believe what you read in newspapers' It is axiomatic that you shouldn't always believe what you read in the newspaper. And so it is with a recent National Post story, headlined by this screamer: "78% favour abortions rights." The poll of just 608 people, conducted by Compass and commissioned by Global and the Post, was part of a larger [...]

The meeting was hosted by the Canadian Association of Parliamentarians for Population and Development, headed by Jean Augustine, the secretary of state for multiculturalism and women's affairs, and co-sponsored by [...]

A leading bioethicist working for the National Institutes of Health in Maryland advocates aborting babies found by pre-natal testing to be blind or mentally disabled. Speaking at the University of Rhode Island Nov. 12, Dan W. Brock said, "It's uncontroversial that serious disabilities should be prevented in born persons. It's considered a misfortune to be born blind or with a serious cognitive [...]
A leading Canadian pro-abortionist has written "a word of advice to 'anti-choicers,'" in which she excoriates pro-life advocates for, among other things, fighting "all too often (with) the weapons of harassment, intimidation and violence." "I'd like to be candid for a moment, and tell 'anti-choicers' what we really think about you and the things you say about us (and to us)," writes [...]
