Leaving the lifestyle

The single, most powerful testimony against the gay agenda is the former homosexual. There is nothing like a fellow human being who says, “I once was, but no longer am.” We listen. These three videos all use these voices. They are all excellent. We don’t often hear from the former gay or the recovered lesbian. The mainstream media gives them no face [...]

Bias masquerades as study

Recent media coverage of a book, Sex, Abortion and Unmarried Women by Paul Sachdev, which claims guilt over abortion is rare, is misleading in the extreme.  This work is being presented as an “academic study.”  It is not.  If works based on personal experiences (as in studies by David Reardon “Aborted Women – Silent No More” or W.E.B.A. [women Exploited Bt Abortion]) [...]

Family values versus profit margins

The Law Society of Upper Canada has Ontario’s lawyers in a fit.  The Society, which governs the province’s lawyers, has proposed that new anti-discrimination rules should come into effect.  It is being proposed that law firms be prohibited from discriminating against lawyers who reduce their work loads in order to take care of family responsibilities. This remarkably pro-family proposal would be a [...]

Saving money, not lives

The American Congress has stunned many observers by voting to continue the ban on Medicaid funding of abortion.  The vote is regarded as a defeat for President Bill Clinton who is a supporter of abortion on demand, and it came as a surprise because Congress is controlled by Democrats.  It will no doubt be seen by many as a pro-life victory. I [...]

Catholic news from the west

B.C. bishop opens pro-life office; Sask. Hospital under fire The Archdiocese of Vancouver has launched a major new strategy to revitalize a dormant Catholic population on pro-life issues. Vancouver Archbishop Adam Exner said the reason the area needs a new push is “because our past efforts have not, as we are painfully aware, been sufficient to halt the murder by abortion of [...]

Beware the fair-weather pro-life politician

When the editor of this paper asked me to address this question, I knew it would be presumptuous to expect all pro-lifers to agree with me.  Over the last 20 years, the purists and the pragmatists among us have had our differences, and I know that there will be as many sincere, dedicated warriors who disagree with me as there are those [...]

Mainline leaders offer little hope for pro-lifers

Since the first abortion law passed in this country in 1969, Canada has not had a pro-life federal political leader in politics.  A generation of politicians has come and gone, many of whom claimed to be pro-life, and yet we have virtually abortion on demand. And now another election approaches this fall and members of the pro-life movement ask themselves what the [...]

The tragedy of Dieppe

“We now turn away from the checkered spectacle of so much glory and so much shame.” ….Lord Macaulay Fifty one years ago on August 19, 1942, the Battle of Dieppe, the most tragic single day in Canada’s military history, sparked a controversy which has still not been resolved.  On that fateful day, the Allied Force, which included approximately 5,000 Canadians, attacked the [...]

Welfare reform targets single mothers

The Ontario NDP government has finally decided to get tough with the province’s surging $17 billion debt.  Most recently, Premier Bob Rae has taken aim at trimming the welfare system which has long needed substantial reform. However, these latest rounds of proposed cuts have left many single parents, who depend on social assistance to care for their children, uncertain about their future. [...]

66 per cent of Canadians oppose abortion on demand

The large majority of Canadians are against abortion on demand, a recent Gallup Poll has found. The poll, released August 2, showed that almost seven out of every ten Canadians (66 per cent with three per cent undecided) think that abortion should be illegal under certain circumstances. The poll was based on interviews with 1,001 Canadian adults between June 22 and July [...]

Family losing tax ruling

Elaine and Walter Schachtschneider, of Hamilton, are married with children.  But if they had decided to live together without getting married they would have saved up to $1,200 a year in taxes. It’s part of the inequities built into the Canadian tax system which rewards couples for remaining unmarried.  Elaine took the case to the courts saying the laws were discriminatory against [...]

Battling society’s cold curiosity

Debbie Mahaffy speaks out for victim’s rights [Interim correspondent Sue Careless interviewed Debbie Mahaffy shortly before the trial of Karla Homolka.  Homolka was on trial for the murder of Debbie Mahaffy’s daughter Leslie and was eventually given a 12-year sentence.] Leslie Mahaffy would be proud of her mother.  The Burlington 14 year-old was brutally slain and dismembered two years ago, but her [...]

The quiet emergence of the pro-life left

Seamless Garment Network gives those who feel alienated from mainstream pro-life a place to call home A coalition of liberal groups and individuals has made a splash in the U.S. with an ad calling for a consistent life ethic. The ad, which ran in The New Republic and was sponsored by a group called the Seamless Garment Network, was signed by such [...]

Ontario injunction case opens in Jan.

Lawyers were in court recently as preliminary details regarding the proposed injunction against pro-life activity in Ontario were settled.  The Provincial Attorney General Marion Boyd has presented eight volumes of evidence which she plans to use against the 18 pro-lifers named in the lawsuit. The province is launching a lawsuit for $500,000 against the 18, and is applying for an injunction at [...]

You were asking?

I am looking for a quotation from a speech by Henry Hyde in which he described the way in which aborted babies will speak up for pro-life workers when they die and stand before God.  Where can I find it?  L.M., Ottawa. There is one speech reported in Hyde’s “For Every Idle Silence.”  He has used this in other talks.  “I believe, [...]
