The Ontario Science Centre is currently distributing a pamphlet informing women that abortion is one of their choices after amniocentesis. The pamphlet, Amniocentesis, describes the procedure in simple terms and explains how it can be used to detect abnormalities in the developing fetus. “About one out of every 50 children in North America is born with a significant [...]
On Friday November 21, 1984, the OFL voted to take Morgentaler’s side in the abortion debate but, as a Toronto Star journalist reported, “only after a long debate.” Federation president, Cliff Pilkey, refused to let Morgentaler address 1,700 union delegates in plenary session. Instead he was permitted to speak to an audience of 300 during a lunch break. The delegates [...]
The “safe, surgical procedure” claimed by Morgentaler and his associates in actual fact has a 100 per cent fatality rate as abortion involves two patients – one of whom has no chance of survival. However, after 15 years of virtual abortion on request in this country, it is not surprising that the carefully chosen jurors, after listening [...]
The last hours of an aborted baby. Dr. Lawrence Lawn, of Cambridge University’s Department of Experimental Medicine, at work on a living, legally aborted, human fetus. Some British doctors have been vigorously defending their experiments on live aborted babies after a storm of protest blew up in England when a Member of Parliament told the press that private abortion clinics [...]
The Christian Action Council of Metropolitan Toronto has designated the first Sunday in May (May 5, 1985) as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday (SOHLS). On May 14, 1969, the Canadian Parliament gave third reading to Bill C-150 a reform of the Criminal Code of Canada, which liberalized the abortion law in Canada. Mr. Howard McPhee, president of the Toronto [...]
In the Lunches with Leaders talk on women's issues during the last electoral campaign, Brian Mulroney said that he personally did not believe in abortion but that we live in a pluralistic society and he did not wish to impose his views on anyone else. Unless and until we have proof to the contrary, we must regard Mr. Mulroney as an honorable [...]
It is likely that the 1984 Presidential Election will affect the pro-life movement in the United States for decades to come, for one of the President's most important responsibilities is that of nominating federal judges, including Supreme Court Judges. Barring impeachment, once the nominations have been confirmed by the Senate, these men and women have life-long tenure, and their influence usually outlasts [...]
The following letter from Dr. Janet Ajzenstat of Hamilton Right to Life was addressed to Dr. Tuzo Wilson, Director-General of the Ontario Science Centre. Dr. Wilson: We wish to draw your attention to the fact that the Ontario Science Centre pamphlet "Amniocentesis" condones and promotes what is, under the Criminal Code of Canada, an illegal activity, that is, the aborting of the [...]
On Thursday November 8, only hours after Associate Chief Justice Parker charged them for the second time, the jury in the Ontario Supreme Court trail of Regina vs. Morgentaler, Scott and Smoling returned a "Not guilty" verdict. Morgentaler had been charged along with Smoling and Scott with conspiracy to procure a miscarriage at his Toronto abortuary (called the Morgentaler Clinic) on Harbord [...]
My dictionary tells me that a "person" is a human being, distinguished from an animal or thing and includes any so-called inferior human being. As a legal term, a "person" can also be a corporation of any other legal entity recognized by law. A "fetus" is the unborn or unhatched offspring of any vertebrate. With this information we could properly re-phrase our [...]
If, as Congressman Hyde said so well, the most fundamental obligation of a politician is the protection of human life, then so we not have an obligation to seriously consider what we can do with our political arena in Canada? The Pro-Life movement is non-partisan which means it does not take sides one way or another for a particular party. However, we [...]
Lawyer Morris Manning has seen to it that the jury in the people's court case against Morgentaler, Smoling and Scott is not "The voice of the people," spoken of by John Diefenbaker in the early 1970s, when he protested the Quebec Court of Appeal's decision to over-rule the jury's acquittal of Henry Morgentaler. Diefenbaker believed that a jury should represent a cross-section [...]
The Republican party, lead by Ronald Reagan, will surely win the U.S. November election. The Republicans are now leading by 10 to 15 points in some polls (Gallup), and the Democrats, led by Walter Mondale, do not seem able to close the gap. Mondale's choice of Geraldine Ferraro as his vice-presidential running mate now causes him much embarrassment. Mondale had been more-or-less [...]
At the Kansas Conference, it was obvious that the pro-abortionists and pro-lifers are agreed on at least one thing: that the 1984 elections will be the most significant since the Supreme Court Decision in 1973, which legalized abortion-on-demand. Naturally, the pro-life point of view is different. Dr. J. C. Willke, the President of National Right-to-Life Committee told the delegates that the next [...]
June 7-9 Kansas City, Missouri Featured speakers: President Reagan, Kathryn Mosely, Joseph Sobran, Father Bruce Ritter, John W. Whitehead, Esq., Molly Kelly, Lorijo Nerad, Bernard Nathanson, M.D. On Wednesday, June 6th, 1984, delegates from all 50 States and from 2,000 pro-life groups in the U.S.A., converged on Kansas City, Mo. for the National Right-to-Life Convention. People from different religious persuasions (or none), [...]
