While no one denies that AIDS education is vitally important if we are to halt the spread of the disease, many are questioning the assumptions on which AIDS prevention is based and the questions being raised are serious indeed. Firstly, it is wrong to base education campaigns on the assumption that all the facts are known on how this virus is transmitted. [...]
Toronto. David Suzuki – often seen as Canada’s science guru – stated in a recent column about a baby suffering from leukemia that: “In an increasingly secular age, science seems to have cut us loose from any sense of place and meaning. Biological science indicates that life arose on this planet by chance (and), that we have the form and shape that [...]
This article contains explicit descriptions of some sexual practices which will, no doubt, be offensive to many readers. We, too, find it distasteful. Nevertheless, we feel that our readers have the right to know precisely what is being discussed in the AIDS education debate. When U.S. Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop M.D., issued his Report on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in [...]
On January 29, 1987, Murray Elston, Health Minister of Ontario, tabled in the Ontario Legislature the report he had been expecting since last July. Authored by Dr. Marion Powell, the report is the answer to the government’s desire to open “clinics” for abortion and contraceptive counseling throughout Ontario and thus to “resolve” the Morgentaler issue. The Powell proposals boil down to four [...]
Some people, usually non-homosexuals who believe they must reproach their fellow men for opposing homosexuality often speak of “loving relationships” among homosexuals. In the book Homosexualities published through the Kinsey Institute, sexologists Bell and Weinberg provide documentation for the following: Promiscuity and multiple partners among homosexuals: Less than 25 different partners: less than nine percent Between 100 [...]
It was truly ironic. During the Christmas season we celebrate the birth of a special Child, and many of us are blessed by having time to spend with family and friends. Just then, the nation’s newspapers covered the fight of the Alberta couple to save the life of their grandchild. As we all know, they lost that battle [...]
Two shareholders of the Royal Bank of Canada have been pressing the Bank to cease funding Toronto abortionist Robert Scott. The Toronto area shareholders, Cy Fleming, a travel agent, and Patrick Redmond, a computer expert, submitted a resolution for consideration by the annual shareholders meetings, held January 7 in Montreal. The resolution called for the Bank to immediately [...]
News agency Brussels. Spanish journalist Andre’s Garrigo has proposed a pro-life news agency for Europe called Euro Life News. Its purpose: to distribute current and reliable information about human life and health. Garrigo explained the need for such an agency to an International Seminar on abortion, euthanasia and genetic manipulation in Brussels, organized by the Dutch “Cry for Life” [...]
The Law Reform Commission of Canada has issued a recently-completed paper on “Options for Abortion Policy Reform.” This study is the first step in a programme which will also include issues such as embryo experimentation, infanticide, genetic screening and in-vitro fertilization. It is expected that, by the winter of 1987, the Commission will issue “a report containing specific law [...]
An incredible sex education and pro-contraception propaganda crusade is sweeping North America and Great Britain as the result of the AIDS epidemic. In the United States, the Congress-chartered National Research Council has called for free condoms wherever “teenage boys congregate.” It claims there’s “little evidence” for the “view” that contraceptives promote “early sexual activity.” The panel of “experts” believe “that the strategy [...]
The media blitz surrounding the Ontario legislative debate on Bill 7 (an amendment to the Ontario Human Rights Code naming “sexual orientation” as a prohibited ground of discrimination) last November and December downplayed the genuine concern of those opposed to the legislation that it would jeopardize such organizations as Big Brothers, and the rights of schools to refuse employment to [...]
All I wanted for Christmas was a licence plate. My own personalized licence plate. One that said “PRO-LYF.” I figured since the car was used for pro-life business 90 per cent of the time anyway it might as well say so. I also figured out that since Ontario will only let you use six letters in your licence plate that [...]
Health and Welfare cautions that “There is continuing complacency among Canadians about AIDS.” The warning came with the release of the 1985 statistics foe Sexually Transmitted diseases (STDs) showing an encouraging overall decrease in rates for such diseases as gonorrhea and syphilis. However, complications from these infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, can lead to tubal scarring, ectopic [...]
When a Catholic priest is fired as editor of a church-sponsored magazine, the first reaction is that it is a matter of interest only to Catholics and not a case of censorship. Perhaps that is why the situation of Father Albert Lalonde in Saskatchewan has not received major publicity and why the editorialists of our national newspapers have not [...]
Toronto: Gay activist and admitted homosexual John Campey won the NDP nomination in the new provincial riding of St. George-St. David in Toronto. The riding has a sizeable homosexual community. Campey, 29, took the vote 59-25 over his only opponent, lawyer Harry Kopyto. The NDP, the party most firmly committed to abortion on demand, both in Ontario and nation-wide, also [...]
