Is Planned Parenthood good for our communities?
Those in the Canadian pro-life, pro-family scene face the challenge of trying to relate to the
public at large why the world’s foremost proponent of contraception and so-called reproductive rights is, in fact, bad news.
Attendees at this year’s National Pro-Life Conference in Ancaster, Ont., just outside of Hamilton, will get some expert insights into how to effectively battle the birth-control behemoth at the local level, when Patricia Bainbridge of Life Decisions International gives a keynote address.
The conference will take place July 2-4 on the grounds of Redeemer College. Bainbridge’s organization, based in Washington, D.C., was founded in 1992 and is perhaps best known for organizing boycotts that have persuaded 53 corporations to cease thier funding of the Planned Parenthood empire. Its expressed purpose is to challenge the PP agenda and it boasts a board of advisors that includes Neil Boron, the host of a radio talk show on WDCX-FM in Buffalo, N.Y., and former U.S. ambassador to the UN Dr. Alan Keyes.
Life Decisions also publishes The Caleb Report — a regular newsletter that updates interested parties on the latest activities of Planned Parenthood and efforts to combat its influence — and Special Reports, which take an in-depth look at a specific topic.
Joining Bainbridge as a keynote speaker at the conference will be David Mainse, fresh from hearing the news that his Christian ministry has been granted a licence for a full-time television station in southern Ontario (see above).
Although the opportunity to attend the conference at a discounted rate has passed, there is still time to register. For more information or to register, please contact the host committee, at the Hamilton Right to Life office, at (905) 528-3065.
