Pro-life movement condemns attack on Slepian Police in Canada and the U.S. are on the trail of James Charles Kopp, said to be a material witness - but not a suspect - in the slaying of Buffalo ob-gyn Barnett Slepian. Slepian was shot in the back through his kitchen window, by a sniper hiding in the bushes outside, on Oct. 23. Slepian [...]
Immediately on hearing of the brutal murder of Buffalo abortionist Barnett Slepian, pro-life groups across Canada and the U.S. did what they've done in response to similar crimes in the past: they condemned the shooting, sincerely, firmly, and unequivocally. On the one hand, it seems strange that pro-life groups should have to issue such extraordinary statements. Any well-informed and fair-minded person would [...]
Perhaps the biggest challenge facing pro-life pharmacists at present is the development and promotion of various medications - many of them being billed as "contraceptives" - which, in fact, end human lives shortly after they begin. Intensive research is currently underway on over 200 abortifacient agents, apart from the so-called morning-after pill and a combination of the drugs methotrexate and misoprostol. MAPs [...]
Article raises fears of abortions on site Pro-lifers in London, Ont. have been playing connect-the-dots recently, but the picture that seems to be emerging isn't something you'd find in a children's book. The intrigue began with last month's issue of Chatelaine, the Canadian feminist magazine that started the campaign for legalized abortion in this country way back in 1959. The feature story [...]
St. Louis, Mo. was the site August 7-8 of the first national conference of Women at Risk, a U.S. coalition of women and their family members who have been hurt by abortion. Ninety people gathered to learn of ways of moving beyond the harm abortion does to women. "We defined ourselves," said Ann Vogel of Springfield, Ill., who co-founded Women at Risk [...]
Unfortunately, Ximena Renaerts isn't alone. In fact, she's one of countless people living daily with the wounds abortion inflicts. A few of those people are children like her, who've somehow managed to survive the abortionist's knife. But there's a much greater number of another kind of abortion "survivor" - aborted women. While most of their stories are known only to God, more [...]
Abortion has been legalized, but it certainly isn't safe for preborn children. And there's a mountain of evidence that it isn't safe for women, either. Justice is finally smiling on 12-year-old Ximena Renaerts, the spunky young girl who survived an abortion attempt and abandonment at Vancouver General Hospital. Her adoptive family has just won a large settlement from the hospital, and now [...]
"Does The Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions?" This is the title of a provocative new pamphlet by evangelist Randy Alcorn. Alcorn, an ordained minister, is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries in Gresham, Oregon. Alcorn relates that when he started research on whether the Pill can cause abortions, he wanted the answer to be "no." He confesses: "My vested interests [...]
My interest was piqued upon receiving the June issue of The Interim. Before settling down to an absorbing evening's read, I scanned the pages quickly, noting the article, "Newfoundland caves in on abortion funding." I wish to expand on that article, since I wrote the petition objecting to the province's decision to extend full funding to the Morgentaler abortuary in St. John's. [...]
The Coalition of Women Supporting Choice and the Women's Health Office of McMaster University in Hamilton recently hosted a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Morgentaler Supreme Court decision, which left Canada lawless with regard to abortion. It was called A Celebration of Choice, and the public was invited to "learn about the difficulties women faced when abortion was illegal, the [...]
FREDERICTON - New Brunswick pro-lifers are ready for higher-profile picketing following news that Henry Morgentaler's Fredericton abortuary will be relocating next to a junior high school. Pro-lifers learned in mid-May that Morgentaler's Ferry Street location will close down to make room for expansion of a shopping centre in suburban Fredericton. Dead-end Abortuary operators have purchased property on Barracks Lane, a dead-end street [...]
The lower house of the Western Australian parliament has ended weeks of protracted debate by passing a liberal abortion bill. The legislation still needs upper house approval before becoming law. However, even if the legislation is enacted, criminal sanctions will remain against doctors who perform illegal abortions - much to the chagrin of pro-abortion Labor MP Cheryl Davenport, who put forth the [...]
In early May, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court awarded damages of $725,000 to a woman who had crashed her car into an oncoming vehicle on the way home from having an abortion at the Halifax Morgentaler abortuary in 1993. A doctor and nurse at the clinic were found liable for letting her drive home after the abortion in a state of extreme [...]
The following are excerpts from each of the speeches given by featured speakers, in order of appearance, at the May 14 March for Life on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Jason Kenney, Reform MP for Calgary Southeast, Alta. I am 29 years old. I, through my entire life, have known nothing but the legal availability of abortion on demand in Canada. My generation [...]
Campaign Life Coalition played an important role in alerting parliamentarians and church leaders to a United Nations move to declare "enforced pregnancy" a crime through the proposed international criminal court. The international pro-life community is concerned that defining "enforced pregnancy" as a war crime could be used by the United Nations to undermine right-to-life legislation in some countries. Instead of properly attacking [...]
