C-Fam reports: A partnership among abortion backers is showing cracks as feminists in the Global South are pushing back against environmentalists promoting population control measures.

Hamilton’s city council voted last week to complain to the provincial and federal government, asking for a ban of graphic photos of abortion victims. The Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform is continuing its “Face the Children” campaign, which seems to be the latest use of graphic images in the area that has upset local politicians. CBC posted a story on the matter, [...]
Today’s XOJane deception is brought to you by a young woman named Amanda Blum. While working with her in the family garage one day, Blum’s father admitted that he never wanted children. “There was no emotion in his voice about it.” Blum remembered. “It was said with the same emphasis one might use while mentioning what they ate for breakfast.” From a [...]
Soccer fans around the world will be glued to their screens for the next month as the World Cup began this past week. Since it is being hosted in Brazil, some Interim staff thought it might be interesting to look into pro-life news there. A quick search revealed some interesting legal situations involving preborn children. (All information is taken from a translated version of [...]
Julie Borowski has a YouTube video (about two minutes) entitled "Abortion isn't just a religious issue." Borowski says "Don't hurt innocent people" is a principle non-religious people can hold and is, indeed, a libertarian principle. That the preborn child is a human being is not a matter of religious dogma, but scientific fact. Opposing abortion expands liberty by protecting the preborn child from [...]

Campaign Life Coalition has launched a website with a petition and social media campaign to "Demand Justin Repeal This Policy of Exclusion, Intolerance & Discrimination" -- the policy, of course, being Justin Trudeau's diktat that all Liberal candidates in the future must be "pro-choice."

As usual Liberal Party activist Adam Goldenberg doesn't get it. He says in the Globe and Mail that Justin Trudeau is right to demand a pro-abortion litmus test on candidates for the Liberal Party and religious leaders are wrong: It’s one thing for clergy to express their views on a policy issue, but it’s quite another for them to assert that their [...]
A researcher found that 12.5% of women at the University of Quebec at Montreal have had an abortion with about a quarter of them having more than one. Needless to say the researcher, UQAM "sexologist" Sylvie Levesque, says there needs to be more sex ed and/or sexual health services on campus. I'm not sure how anyone can argue with a straight face [...]

We [...]
