As the change in seasons becomes more distinct, it's time to look around and ponder the events that continue to shape the battle for life in North America. I remember full well the timely and fascinating look into the mind of an abortionist in an article entitled, "The Terminator." The piece was about well-known and outspoken abortionist Brian Finkel, the chief abortionist [...]
Manitobans will be paying for more abortions as soon as the NDP government decides how. Warren Preece, press secretary to cabinet, says the health ministry is "mulling over" options provided to it by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority which suggested late last spring, three means by which all abortions performed in the province could be funded through medicare. The WRHA administers all [...]
Leaders of a pilot study that allows Toronto-area women to receive so-called emergency contraceptive pills without prescription from pharmacies are claiming that the program is proving to be more popular than expected. But a co-ordinator for the Canadian branch of Pharmacists for Life International has doubts about that assertion. "The demand has been higher than anticipated," alleged Sheila Dunn, co-principal investigator for [...]
Lost in the wake of Sept. 11 was the announcement that an unidentified Canadian woman had died following a gangrene infection during clinical trials of RU-486. While the mainstream media ignored this issue, the National Catholic Register's Celeste McGovern did some digging and found that Vancouver abortionist and clinical trial overseer Ellen Wiebe failed to inform participants of the dangers of the [...]
Miracles do happen at a busy downtown abortuary - at least once a week. The lives of babies are saved because their distressed mothers are offered help by front-line pro-lifers who run a referral and refuge centre called Aid to Women in Toronto. Counsellors Joanne and Robert estimate that over the last decade some 1,000 babies have survived because someone was on [...]
It probably is unseemly for pro-lifers to tell Canada, "we told you so," but we did. After years of lies and misrepresentations from the abortion lobby and their willing accomplices - pro-abortion politicians, many in the media, some academics - the truth is finally out: abortions are committed for convenience's sake, not because they are medically necessary. On Oct. 31, the Canadian [...]
A grey car drove over to where Robert was standing outside the downtown Toronto abortuary. A man called out, "Keep your eye on my girlfriend if you see her. She's got on a blue bomber jacket. Tell her I don't want her to do it." A puzzled Robert asked, "How do you know who I am?" Replied the man, "I've been watching [...]
This past summer, the French high court ruled in favour of a family of a severely disabled French teen in a lawsuit against medical authorities that in effect says the child ought never have been born. The decision in this "wrongful birth" lawsuit implicitly accepts that Nicholas Perruche, who has heart problems and is deaf, dumb, partly blind, and mentally disabled, should [...]
Gate Entrance A family-sized van pulled over at the curb on a downtown street in Toronto. The driver leaned over asking where "the gate entrance" was to the abortuary. Robert, an Aid to Women counsellor, responded by asking if he needed help for the woman he had just dropped off. Within hearing distance of the couple, Robert said to the woman, "We [...]
20,000 to be killed by years end In the wake of its being awarded the 2008 Olympic Games, China is ordering one of its remote, poverty-stricken regions to commit at least 20,000 abortions by the end of this year. Chinese authorities are reported to have issued the order because their official one-child-per-family policy is being routinely ignored in Huaiji region, where 2000 [...]
In the hot days of summer in Winnipeg, the abortion battle is heating up inside the courtrooms of the Court of Queen's Bench. Two Winnipeg women, represented by lawyer Robert Tapper, have launched a class-action suit against the Manitoba government for its refusal to fund abortions at private clinics. The women, referred to as Jane Doe No. 1 and Jane Doe No. [...]
Official delegate admits 'reproductive services' include abortion A Canadian delegate at the recent PrepCom leading up to September's Child Summit astonished pro-family advocates and social leftists alike when he acknowledged publicly that the euphemism "reproductive health services" means abortion. He added that it may not refer to abortion in the minds of other delegates, but it does when Canadian delegates to United [...]
Well, she's done it again. Canada's mistress of anything abortion, Barbara Hestrin, has written another unethical swipe at those who oppose her means of putting bread on the table. I am talking of course of the former president of Planned Parenthood of Canada. You know her as the abortoholic that runs the abortion mill at the Children's and Women's Health Centre of [...]
July 19, 2001 Your Honour, My friend and co-accused, myself and many others are deeply troubled. We are troubled by the hard truth, that in our country and throughout our world, child after child is being killed before she has left her mother's womb. What is most shameful is that we, who are grown, continue to allow our tiniest sisters and brothers [...]
I stared at her in disbelief when she broke the news to me. Surely she was joking. I was 17. Judith was 19. Both of us, I rationalized, were much too young to be tied to a baby. "What do you mean, you're pregnant?" I asked quietly. Meanwhile, my mind whirled with a thousand prayers and fears. What would I tell my [...]
