Planned Parenthood | Author:
Pauline Kosalka A representative from Planned Parenthood refused to say to Florida legislators that babies who survived an abortion should not be killed. Alisa LaPolt Snow of Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates was invited to speak before the House Civil Justice Subcommittee on March 27 on HB1129, a bill mandating that abortion survivors receive medical care from hospitals. It ultimately passed the subcommittee by a 10-2 vote.
Snow shocked Florida lawmakers by her comments. When asked by Rep. Jim Boyd (R) what ... (Continue reading)

Abortion Law, Fetal Rights | Author:
Paul Tuns Mark Warawa did not take the decision to nix his private member’s motion condemning sex-selective abortion laying down. After the sub-committee on private member’s business deemed M-408 non-votable on March 21 claiming the House of Commons already dealt with a similar issue earlier this Parliament and that it infringed on provincial jurisdiction, the Langley, British Columbia, Conservative MP attempted to speak about his bill on the House floor but was prevented from doing so by Chief Government Whip Gordon O’Connor.
It ... (Continue reading)

Abortion | Author:
Paul Tuns On March 18 the trial of Kermit Gosnell began in a Philadelphia courthouse, and the jury heard some of the most sensational – and graphic – testimony any courtroom has witnessed. Yet despite the numerous storylines – a doctor who preyed on women, killed children, snipping the spines of babies who survived abortion, a racial subtext about the minority women who were his clients – the media largely ignored this story. A local columnist, J.D. Mullane, who writes for the ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka Bringing the back-alley to the street front. Abortionist Kermit Gosnell is on trial for killing a woman and seven newborns. The media ignored the gruesome testimony until they had no choice.
Jurors at the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell have heard shocking testimony about the conditions at his “House of Horrors” – the Women’s Medical Society in Philadelphia. Gosnell, who potentially faces the death penalty, was charged with seven ... (Continue reading)

Abortion, Announcements, Features | Author:
On Feb. 18, 2010, the FBI raided the “Women’s Medical Society” in Philadelphia searching for evidence of illicit prescription drugs sales; what they found, instead, were horrors unimagined by the most gruesome Hollywood film: “The search team discovered fetal remains haphazardly stored throughout the clinic—in bags, milk jugs, orange juice cartons, and even in cat-food containers.” Investigators also “found a row of jars containing just the severed feet ...

Abortion | Author:
Pauline Kosalka A 29-year-old woman has died as a result of a 33-week abortion conducted by late-term abortion specialist Dr. LeRoy Carhart.
Jennifer Morbelli, a kindergarten teacher from White Plains, New York, travelled to Carhart’s abortion facility, the Germantown Reproductive Health Center (GRHC), in Germantown, Maryland to begin the four-day procedure on Sunday, Feb. 3. The reason for the abortion was a fetal abnormality.
Over the next three days, witnesses who saw Morbelli return to the facility for the next stages of her abortion ... (Continue reading)

Despite how technologically advanced it is, modern-day society is still plagued by a variety of social problems. Within their cities, people witness poverty, homelessness, hunger, and other issues. However, the biggest social injustice is swept under the rug. Abortion, the cause of more than 100,000 murders annually in Canada, is unrestrained by national law and even supported by taxpayer dollars. Causing far more deaths than any other ...

Everywhere we turn, hundreds upon hundreds of social justice issues clamour for our attention. The activists behind each compete relentlessly for the support of young people. Where there is the vigour and fiery determination of the young generation, the injustices against life will undoubtedly be abolished. How can the pro-life movement rally youth to view life issues as the most deserving and worthy of their attention? We ... (Continue reading)

The image of a man with sunken cheeks and torn clothing, aged by hunger, flashes across the television screen. Another depiction is shown, this one is of a lone female figure surrounded by a throng throwing insults because of her skin colour. Then the screen flashes to the scene of a child with a gun held between his two small hands. His fingers press against the trigger ... (Continue reading)

Activism, Pro-Life | Author:
Pauline Kosalka Planned Parenthood recently decided to abandon the term “pro-choice,” saying abortion as too complex to be split into two opposing sides. The switch has led some pro-lifers to debate the best way to describe the pro-life movement.
Labels matter for both accuracy and public relations. The way the media frames the issue can influence how people view the two sides of the issue. For years, the media favoured abortion advocates with the ostensibly positive term “pro-choice” while seldom calling abortion opponents ... (Continue reading)

Fetal Rights | Author:
Paul Tuns Pro-life women have urged Rona Ambrose, Minister for the Status of Women, to support M-408, a private member’s motion that condemns sex-selective abortion.
Last Fall, Ambrose shocked some political observers when she joined ten of her cabinet colleagues and a majority of her caucus to support Stephen Woodworth’s private member’s motion calling for a scientific inquiry about the child in the womb. The motion was defeated and unions and feminist groups called for Ambrose’s resignation. Ambrose stated that she supported the ... (Continue reading)

Human rights, Society & Culture | Author:
Theresa Yoshioka Arün Smith favours diversity, just not diversity of opinion. So in early February he removed the free-speech wall at Carleton University – stole the paper and destroyed the frame – then, on Facebook, rationalized his violent direct action. In his incoherent philosophy, “liberty requires liberation, and this liberation is prevented by providing space for either more platitudes, or for the expression of hate.” He vowed to repeat his crime should the free-speech wall be restored.
Carleton’s stifling cultural climate, known to ... (Continue reading)

Declan Ganley Special to The Interim “We’re stepped out upon the world’s stage now – the fate of human dignity is in our hands.”
With the words above, Steven Spielberg’s Abraham Lincoln faces his cabinet down and reminds them of the challenge facing his bleeding nation. He insists that they take a stand before the world, and fight on to abolish and criminalize slavery once and for all. Whether the real Lincoln said these exact words we will never know, but that they reflect the challenge of ... (Continue reading)
