Jim Hughes, Requiescat in Pace

On May 18th, Canadian pro-lifers lost a champion whose legacy is difficult to overstate. Jim Hughes was more than a leader, a founder, and an activist: he was, for decades, the face of the pro-life movement in Canada. When the media wanted to know the reaction to an event affecting the unborn, they did not call the Catholic Chancery, they called Jim [...]

Death has undone so many

Donald DeMarco: When Dante entered the vestibule of Hell, he witnessed the dreary souls “who lived without blame, and without praise; but were for themselves.” These were the apathetic souls whom both Heaven and Hell rejected. Dante was struck by sheer number of these lost souls. “So long a train of people,” he said to Virgil, his guide, “that I should never [...]

Gestational limits do not save lives

Jakki Jeffs, Special to The Interim:  Alliance for Life Ontario believes that the pro-life movement in Canada exists to serve God, by helping to build a society that respects and protects individual innocent human beings, from their biological beginnings until their death.

Against gestational laws

Every few years, a debate arises within the political precincts of the pro-life movement about the merits of a dramatic shift in approach. Since so much visceral disgust remains, on the part of the public, for late-term abortions, why not seek an outright ban on this barbaric practice at some point in pregnancy? Advocates of this so called “gestational approach” argue that [...]

What is ‘MMIWG2SLGBTQIA+’ and other thoughts

From the editor’s desk:    Radical pro-abortion NDP MP Leah Gazan (Winnipeg Centre) was complaining about the Carney government’s lack of funding to support “MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” people. The Alphabet People’s acronym is a fluid construction, with endless amendments and additions to ensure that everyone is included, except for, apparently, white males, Christians, and conservatives. That plus sign at the end is supposed to represent [...]
