In what pro-lifers consider one of the most flabbergasting statements by Canada at the United Nations, the Canadian representative at the world body explained the country's opposition to a document on Human Rights and Terrorism, saying the inference to the supremacy of the "right to life" was "unacceptable." At a United Nations meeting Nov. 30, the representative of Canada objected to "the [...]
With the announcement by Stephen Harper on national television that he is "moderately pro-life," it seems that each of the four contenders for the leadership of the Canadian Alliance supports a pro-life position, at least to some degree. As LifeSite has reported: "While former leader Stockwell Day and Dr. Grant Hill were clear on their pro-life stands from the beginning of the [...]
I sometimes think, perhaps incorrectly, that many people have the impression pro-life is mostly a Catholic issue. It is true that the Pope is probably the strongest anti-abortion voice in the world, but he is not the only one. I have a particular reason for writing this article, which I shall explain later. But first, I would like to pay tribute to [...]
Collected with commentary "I only pray when I'm in trouble," said Isaac Bashevis Singer, "but I'm in trouble all the time so I pray all the time." The Nobel Prize winning author wisely recognized his own helplessness and God's greatness. American novelist Anne Lamott writes that the two best prayers she knows are, "Help me! Help me! Help me!" and "Thank you! [...]
LifeSite News An anti-terrorism bill entailing broad powers of arrest and detention and a massive loss of rights of the accused has pro-lifers concerned, since the legislation's definition of terrorism could be interpreted to include pro-life groups. The apprehension is warranted given a government intelligence agency document which includes the "pro-life movement" under the category of "single issue terrorism." (The report is [...]
As one passes from childhood to adulthood, the summer, which was once a time for rest and relaxation, turns into a time for gainful employment. And so, in early July, I embarked upon my second summer working at Campaign Life Coalition. Since I come from a solidly pro-life family and had taken a great course on moral issues from another solid pro-lifer [...]
"It's a pleasure to help in this small way!" That statement sums up the sentiment of hundreds of people who participated in this year's Coins for Life campaign. Anti-life forces are well-financed by media moguls such as Ted Turner and other billionaires, as well as by the government. But there are thousands of ordinary folks who want the relentless attacks on human [...]
The abortion issue was front and centre when some 600 delegates from Canada, the U.S., Mexico and several other countries came to Toronto for three days in early August for the 119th annual meeting of the Knights of Columbus. The organization's New York chapter put forth a resolution calling for the running of newspaper, radio and television advertisements that publicize elected officials' [...]
Child placed with Jewels for Jesus Agency A slip of a girl in a lilac gown stole the show from the professional performers. Four hundred people sat in hushed silence as Kabelo told how her dream twisted into a nightmare and then floated back into the sunshine. Kabelo gave her moving testimony at a benefit concert March 24, for Jewels for Jesus [...]
Extremists featured and responsible voices ignored With the arrest of shooting suspect James Kopp in France in late March, pro-abortion media personalities have typically exploited the opportunity to accuse the pro-life movement of violence. The Christian Defense Coalition in the United States cautioned the media and pro-abortion organizations not to use the murder of abortionist Barnett Slepian to attack and demonize the [...]
Would restrict public access to statistics and force hospitals to offer abortions SEEN AS PLOY TO CREATE ELECTION WEDGE ISSUE TO DIVIDE LIBERALS Campaign Life Coalition British Columbia president John Hof knew something was in the wind while watching B.C Premier Ujjal Dosanjh in a province-wide television address. Dosanjh, desperate for an election issue, promised new initiatives in the fight to increase [...]
There is so much bad news these days, especially about young people, that it is quite a thrill to experience some good news, and I had such an experience recently. A few weeks ago I was doing some Sunday ministry at St. Mary of the People Parish in Oshawa, Ontario. The pastor, Father Paul Casullo, mentioned to me that there was to [...]
"Daddy, can I kill this?" If your five-year-old child asked this question while your back was turned, another question would pop instantly into your mind: What is "this"? Speaking at St. Mary's University in Halifax to about 25 pro-life students from all over the Atlantic provinces, Scott Klusendorf started with this question. It is the question ignored, avoided, shouted down, and glossed [...]
They are articulate and young. They are educated and outspoken. They are a few of the young women of the pro-life movement in Canada. They represent different parts of Canada, and the pro-life movement, and have come to the cause in different ways. The three women profiled below spoke with The Interim about why they are pro-life, about their experiences as activists, and [...]
Now that we've reached the real beginning of the new millennium, it's time to take a gander at where we've gone in the past year. Canada's abortion industry continues to play a lousy defense when it comes to articulating their reasons for supporting child killing. We need look no further than our recent federal election campaign to gaze upon the rotted corpse [...]
