As the large, heavy doors of Old Montreal’s beautiful Notre Dame Basilica slowly swung open, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. Dozens of helmeted and visored riot police clutching truncheons were roaming the street in front of the church. Behind them, several hundred protestors kept back by metal barricades, were throwing various objects – glass-filled condoms, vegetables, firecrackers, bottles, eggs [...]
Another manifestation of the money-crunch being felt in Alberta is that some hospitals have stopped doing pre-natal tests. The January 23 Western Report notes that the Alberta Children’s Hospital (ACH) has ended doing tests to determine whether a child has Down Syndrome. These tests were carried out at $70.00 per test and often culminated in abortion if the test results were “unsatisfactory.” [...]
The American Life League’s newsletter communiqué reports that Alice Ruiz Hanna who owns an abortuary in Orange County, Florida, has been sentenced to 16 years to life in prison for causing the death of Angela Sanchez. Sanchez, a mother of four, was killed along with her baby during the abortion. **** Thomas Tucker, the practitioner who performed more than 7,000 abortions annually [...]
An organization which has saved hundreds of babies from the jaws of death, marks a decade of fighting abortion on the frontlines “In as much as you did unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.” Matt. 25:40 Choose Life Canada was founded by the Reverend Ken Campbell on December 10, 1984, the day criminal abortions were [...]
Gibbons could face second consecutive six-month sentence Ken Campbell calls her “The Corrie Ten Boom Heroine of the Decade.” Linda Gibbons is following the example of Corrie Ten Boom’s response to Hitler’s holocaust, by risking her life and liberty in a courageous, Christian response to Canada’s “Baby Holocaust.” Linda, a grandmother of four, has been incarcerated since early September. On September 2, [...]
The province of Alberta has been hit with a wave of budget-cutting fever and a local group is attempting to ride this wave to remove abortion from the federal rolls. The Committee to End Tax-Funded Abortions, an Edmonton-based group, plans to organize a media and lobbying campaign to raise public awareness. “We are convinced that the majority of Albertans feel that abortions [...]
Sonny Bono’s election to the House of Congress was only one of the many surprises of the wild November 8 U.S. mid-term elections. Another was the landslide victory by the pro-life candidates who dominated Congressional Senate and Gubernatorial votes which all but wiped out any gains the Democrats had previously made. Just two years ago it looked like Americans had given President [...]
Rose: Andrew Coyne. Columnist who wrote an article in November 21 Globe and Mail called “The slippery slope that leads to death.” Never before has Canada’s national newspaper allowed such a pro-life statement to appear on its editorial pages. In doing so, the Globe has acknowledged that there is legitimate opposition to the status quo in this country. Now other media must [...]
“The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears that this is true.” …. James Branch Cabell It’s that time of year again; the season for evaluation, joy, stress, goodwill toward men or downright indifference. It all depends on one’s point of view, not necessarily on one’s immediate circumstances. Trevor Lautens opined in a [...]
There is a black cloud hanging over the Canadian pro-life movement due to a media blitz of disinformation. Incredible as it seems, the voice of active pro-lifers in the province of British Columbia has been as expeditiously silenced as those they have been struggling to protect. The shooting of Garson Romalis on November 8 undoubtedly became the catalyst aiding the pro-abortionists in [...]
The Clinton Health Plan sounds like a good idea. But to many pro-lifers in the U.S. the plan is a fine idea twisted to meet the ideological world-view of its framers. Many of its problems are hidden from the general public, say experts from the pro-life side, through the Health Care Plan’s sheer immensity and complexity, and because of a wish on [...]
The promoters of abortion are currently engaged in some wild contortions in logic in their campaign to portray pro-lifers as violent. What occasions these efforts is the Ontario government’s attempt to get an injunction barring all pro-life protests at 23 locations across the province, including clinics and hospitals. Among the evidence presented to the court in support of this ban is a [...]
The following is a selection of the top 10 pro-life events and happenings in this country in the past year. They are in no particular order but illustrate the ups and downs of the movement as it strives to change the hearts and minds of Canadians and to get society to adopt a respect for all life.

What exactly are human embryos? The Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies was forced to consider this question for a very basic reason: part of its mandate was to decide what to do about embryo research. There has been a decided push in the last several years to encourage public acceptance of experimentation on human embryos. Ever since In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) [...]
Poverty of Thought “We in Canada are destroying our heritage but not from reasons of economic poverty but because of the poverty of thought. Some hospitals are doing more abortions than deliveries.” Dr. Robert Walley speaking at a November Children’s Welfare Conference. (Catholic New Times, Dec. 19, 1993) Life saver “I know if I were scheduled for death tomorrow I would want [...]
