Interim Staff 104,403 abortions in 1993 brings the total number of deaths to 1.62 million since 1969
When abortion was first legalized in Canada in 1969, then Justice Minister John Turner promised that the number of women seeking abortions would not increase.
Almost 25 years later Turner’s predictions have proven wildly incorrect as Canadians are now killing over 100,000 of their pre-born children per year and the numbers continue to rise.

Sabina McLuhan Mother Jones Magazine is not usually on my must read list but a colleague gave me the March/April issue which contains a surprisingly fair article on abortion and breast cancer.
Writer Michael Castleman concludes that there is enough evidence in studies to date to show a connection. He does not demand an end to abortion, but he does ask for some informed counseling and decision-making. “Pro-choice groups should not fall into the trap of defending abortion as absolutely ...

Similarly Judy Rebick, head of the National ... (Continue reading)
