If abortion was just another surgical procedure devoid of serious moral implications, it would not be cloaked in so much secrecy, would it? The Institute of Marriage and Family Canada has released an eReview on the "mess" surrounding Canada's abortion numbers, pointing out there is no consistency in how free-standing abortion facilities report their numbers, if they do at all, and that [...]
Maclean's reports on the growing incidence of cancer of the oropharynx, base of tongue, and tonsils among younger people (20-49) who have never smoked or drank. There is an established "link between sexual behaviour and HPV in the oral cavity" -- and some types of HPV or the human papillomavirus cause various cancers. Maclean's titles its story, "A cancer for the young," but perhaps "A [...]
PWPL blogger/full-time mother & wife/part-time political staffer Veronique Bergeon shares with readers how she spent her International Women's Day and concludes with a bit of wisdom denied by most feminists: Here’s your International Woman’s Day wisdom from the trenches, one day late and rushed between making lunches and wiping runny noses with my power suit: children need taking care of. Bosses need [...]
Sun TV, dismissed by the Left as Fox News North, will begin airing April 18. Last month, Sun columnist Michael Coren wrote a column about the refreshing new voice Sun TV will provide Canadians. Coren wrote: The real reason the Fox North title is being used over and over again is that to most in the Canadian media it feels like an [...]
NARAL Pro-Choice America has launched its Birth Control for Me campaign to make free birth control an election issue. NARAL's Blog for Choice describes why free birth control is necessary: 30 million women use birth control and "one in three women has struggled with the high cost of prescription birth control at some point in her life." Does struggling to pay for something [...]
Family Facts is a great new one-stop resource for statistics and studies on family issues from the Heritage Foundation. I've been lost in it for hours already. Professor Moynihan is calling: 40% of babies are born to unwed mothers and fewer than 70% of children are living with two-parents although that number is brought down by the 39.4% figure for blacks in the United [...]
Last weekend there were Walk for Choice demonstrations in the United States (and, apparently, in Toronto). Jill Stanek points out how they were very poorly attended; she has stories and pictures from pro-abortion sources and sympathetic media coverage and W4C still seems pathetically poorly attended. As Stanek notes: "Pro-lifers have something the other side will never, never, ever, ever have: Passionate support [...]
Democratic mouthpiece Donna Brazile tweets, "NASCAR funding intact, but they target poor women who rely on Planned Parenthood & others for medical services like breast cancer screening." That is rich. Everyone knows that the amendment targeting Planned Parendthood is over abortion and if PP really wanted to continue providing those other services to "poor women" all they have to do is stop [...]
A wise friend of mine says that ironically pro-lifers are often arguing for choice. He pointed out that in a society where the default 'choice' position is to have an abortion, the challenge for pro-lifers is to make the decision a true choice. Once women have real choice, the challenge for pro-lifers is to switch gears and make the case for life. When women feel that the [...]
Our own columnist Michael Coren has a must-see show on CTS. The show used to be live and on at 10 pm and then moved to a taped version broadcast at 6 pm. For many people, that's too early. They don't want to watch public affairs programming during dinner or with their children still up, and many potential viewers are still commuting, either from work [...]
There is a affordable ($59) one-day conference in Mississauga (just west of Toronto) March 5 put on by Dynamic Women of Faith for women who want to learn how to deal with life's challenges and prioritize their responsibilities. There are talks about balancing work and home, making more time in one's life, and dealing with the passing of loved one. There is also a panel [...]
Life Always erected an ad in New York City that simply stated: "The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb." The New York Times reported that Bill de Blasio, the city's public advocate, condemned the ad: “This billboard simply doesn’t belong in New York City,” Bill de Blasio, the city’s public advocate, said in a statement. “The ad violates the [...]
Our February story on the need to change public opinion on adoption on numerous levels so that women are more open to adoption and that couples are open to adopting.
Michael Taube linked to our obit of Bernard Nathanson in a tweet but that is not why we are linking to him. No, we are linking to Taube because he nicely summarizes Nathanson’s life: “An interesting man. An astonishing life. An incredible legacy. Bernard Nathanson, RIP.”
We sent our March issue to the printer today. Here is the cover story, our obituary of Bernard Nathanson, the abortionist-turned-pro-life-activist, who passed away Sunday. The photo is from 1983, when Campaign Life Coalition brought Nathanson to Canada for a series of speeches and television interviews, including (as you can see in the photo) CITY TV in Toronto.
