Many of you are probably wondering whatever became of the Leger poll on abortion funding in Canada - that is, why it received so little public attention in the media. It's hardly a surprise, given that Big Abortion has representatives in what seems like every newsroom in the nation. But there is part of a national strategy that everyone should be aware [...]
Interim Staff A dispute over liability insurance closed the doors of Henry Morgentaler's Edmonton abortuary for two weeks. Upon noticing that the abortuary was not holding up its liability insurance obligations, Capital Health, the city's regional health authority, attempted to bump up the facility's liability requirement to $5 million, the same amount Capital Health requires Royal Alexandria Hospital, which also commits taxpayer-funded [...]
Interim Staff The Ontario College of Pharmacists is calling for legislative changes so that pharmacists can dispense early abortifacients - commonly called "emergency contraception" or "the morning after pill."

With Republicans regaining control of the U.S. Senate, the pro-abortion lib-left will no longer be able to thwart pro-life legislation or hold up or defeat President George W. Bush's pro-life judicial nominees. Since Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords bolted the Republican Party 18 months ago to become an independent and thus hand control of the Senate to the Democrats by way of a [...]

Many jurisdictions in Europe, the United States and Canada are reporting either a slight decline in abortion numbers or [...]
The National television news program has reported that Paladin Labs, the manufacturer of the "morning-after" pill Plan B, is lobbying Health Canada to have the drug made more easily available to women.

If Anne MacLellan and Henry Morgentaler have their way on abortion, it will spell the end of the Canadian medicare system. Both the federal health minister and Canada's leading abortion advocate say that any surgical termination of pregnancy, for any reason or for no reason, is automatically "medically necessary" and must be funded by medicare. If a wealthy woman with a healthy [...]
Henry Morgentaler, Canada's most notorious abortionist, is threatening to go to court again. This time, he says he'll sue New Brunswick, and possibly Nova Scotia, for refusing to fund abortion procedures at his private abortuaries in those provinces, claiming the Canada Health Act requires that the provinces ante up. Morgentaler is a familiar face in the halls of justice. Throughout the 1980s, [...]
It is a mammoth and daunting task to attempt to be comprehensive in terms of analyzing who are the major funders of anti-life and anti-family causes in the world today. However, a cursory examination of news reports over the last several years reveals some recurring suspects, especially in the realm of foundations, whose billions of dollars in assets seem to serve as [...]

Playwright Marcien Ferland is one of the people that see a play as an opportunity to get a really important message out to the general public. He is now awaiting the production of his play The Third Way. However, it's not your typical run-of- the-mill musical or love story. It's about evil, selfishness and abortion. "It seemed to be such a social [...]
