Since July 14, 2015 seven videos have come to light that reveal certain Planned Parenthood executives negotiating and discussing the sale of fetal organs harvested from aborted babies. The first video released showed Deborah Nucatola discussing the procurement and distribution of the fetal organs, and it was the first of 12 videos that the Center for Medical Progress says they will release [...]
Melinda Gates has been promoting new forms of contraception through her billionaire husband's charity, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Silphium was a plant in classical antiquity commonly used for seasoning and medication, as well as a method of birth control. Though it’s highly debated what happened to this extinct plant, many academics believe it became extinct due to over-harvesting. Our [...]
Vice reporter Sarah Ratchford prepares to go undercover posing as a woman seeking an abortion at a crisis pregnancy centre. A documentary by the online magazine Vice Canada claims it is difficult for women to obtain abortions in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. The 33-minute video, titled, “Abortion Access in the Maritimes,” and available free online, bills itself as [...]
Few issues in public discourse are as prominent as concern for the climate. Celebrities, politicians, and activists preach an apocalyptic gospel of environmental repentance because there is a crisis, we are told, just slightly out of the reach of our senses. Carbon emissions and average temperature are used to substantiate fears about a looming disaster which can be felt everywhere but seen [...]
“A lot of people want liver,” Deborah Nucatola informed two potential business partners in between a bite of salad and a sip of red wine. What Nucatola, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s senior director of medical services, didn’t know, was that these potential business partners were actually undercover pro-life activists trying to uncover evidence of Planned Parenthood’s lawless approach to obtaining [...]
National Affairs Rory Leishman Pro-lifers across Canada have been dismayed by the decision of Michael Coren to endorse same-sex “marriage” and leave the Catholic Church. What could have led this erstwhile champion of the Catholic Church and the traditional principles of Judeo-Christian morality so sadly astray? When Coren first disclosed that he had “moved on” in his thinking on same-sex [...]
The (pro-life) Center for Medical Progress caught a Planned Parenthood employee brokering the sales of aborted babies. If you read the transcript or watch the video, you'll see Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services at Planned Parenthood, describe how their employees can carry out an abortion to minimize damage to the preborn child, in ways that sound like they increase [...]
Canadian pro-life leaders are renewing calls for an investigation into the possibility that babies are routinely being left to die in the country after failed late-term abortions. According to official data from Statistics Canada, as many as 182 babies died after they were born alive following late-term abortions in 2013-14, a 16 per cent increase over 2011-12. The latest data was again [...]
Editor’s Note: On March 9, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau delivered a speech at a McGill Institute for the Study of Canada event in Toronto, titled, “Canadian Liberty and the Politics of Fear.” The media focused on his comparison of the Conservative government’s attitude toward Muslims with Canadian immigration policy in the 1930s and ‘40s that turned back Jewish refugees from Europe. What [...]
On Feb. 17, the Canadian Institute for Health Information released abortion statistics, revealing there were at least 82,869 abortions in 2013 compared to 83,708 in 2012. According to CIHI, 35,003 were committed in hospitals, and 47,866 in abortion clinics. LifeSiteNews reported that “CIHI’s stated methodology leads to the inescapable conclusion that there are literally countless more victims of abortion in Canada.” Not [...]
So I saw Paul Tuns' link to Justin Trudeau's speech last week on "Canadian Liberty" and the Liberal Leader was conspicuous, as he usually is, in talking about liberty or Charter values, without being specific. Liberty is just this thing he invokes, because Liberals need to be about Liberty, he says. There is an exception to his lack of specificity, and that's [...]
The rhythms of the year are unsurprising and predicable; as inevitable as winter snow and spring showers is a declaration of the death of the pro-life movement. This year’s annual pronouncement ran in the National Post shortly following the floor-crossing of several MLAs from the Wild Rose Party to the Progressive Conservatives in Alberta. The party’s then-leader, Danielle Smith, explained that this [...]
A new campaign launched in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 22 at the U.S. March for Life will reach out to everyone affected by abortion and help them find healing. Officially announced at a press conference held by Priests for Life and the Silent No More Awareness Campaign on Jan. 8 at the National Press Club in Washington, the yearlong “Healing the Shockwaves [...]
Globe and Mail reported that Health Canada is delaying its decision whether to approve the abortion pill mifepristone, also known as the abortion pill RU-486, until the Fall after requesting additional information from Exelgyn S.A, the drug’s manufacturer, “resetting the clock” on the approval process. A decision had been expected last month. The source of both stories was the National Abortion Federation, [...]
The Morgentaler Clinic in Fredericton, N.B., which closed last July, is reopening under a new name and new management, as a “family practice” that offers a “full-scope of reproductive care, including abortions.” Clinic 554’s new director is Adrian Edgar, a “transguy” who specializes not only in abortion but providing “primary care services” to people who self- identify as LGBTQ . He received [...]
