Chris McGarry The bulk of the Baby Boom Generation came of age during a period of great social change. Unlike previous generations, the boomers, the sons and daughters of those who had sacrificed so much for their native countries during World War II, were not content to simply follow the status quo of their parents. No, the first cohort in a long time to be raised in an era of relative peace and economic stability felt a necessity to buck the established ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka A new study published in the European Journal of Public Health shows that women are more likely to die after having an abortion. “Reproductive history patterns and long-term mortality rates: a Danish, population-based record linkage study,” co-authored by P.K. Coleman, D.C. Reardon, and B.C. Calhoun, used records of Danish women born from 1962 to 1993 to find a relation between pregnancy outcome and mortality within a 25-year period.
Coleman, a professor of human development and family studies at Bowling Green State ... (Continue reading)

Jim Hughes There are no shortcuts to eliminating abortion
Jim Hughes
More than 30 years ago, when I was still “wet behind the ears” in terms of my knowledge of the pro-life movement, I joined the fledgling pro-life organization Campaign Life (Canada). During the ensuing years I earned an education that was founded on a bedrock principle that all human life is sacred.
This new organization, with its mandate to work in ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka A group of young pro-lifers are using a defining campaign of the old pro-abortion movement to spread the message that abortion kills unborn babies across Canada.
In 1970, a group of pro-abortion feminists from the Vancouver Women’s Caucus met in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery to begin a journey across Canada in a caravan. Using images of coffins and coat hangers, participants aimed to eliminate Canada’s abortion laws and win the “right” ... (Continue reading)

“The Last Judgment,” according to Kafka, “is a court that is always in session.” At first glace, these words may seem menacing and obscure, but, in fact, Kafka confirms an attitude towards history, which we all share. We believe in “last judgements,” in final, irreversible indictments, which no revisionist can recuperate and no apologist can rescind. Our estimation of the evils of slavery and genocide are examples of such “last judgments” ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka An editorial in the Jan. 16 Canadian Medical Association Journal written by Dr. Rajendra Kale, the interim editor-in-chief, advocates for measures to curb sex-selective abortion of girls. “Female feticide happens in India and China by the millions, but it also happens in North America in numbers large enough to distort the male to female ratio in some ethnic groups,” he wrote in what would become a controversial medical journal editorial. “Small numbers ...

Pauline Kosalka A benign-sounding Ontario initiative could result in more abortions
Few people living in Ontario have ever heard of the Fetal Alert Network (FAN). According to its webpage, FAN’s goal is “to provide coordinated access to the best care for all women whose babies have suspected or confirmed birth defects, regardless of where they live,” as “time can be a crucial factor in her ability to make decisions for her pregnancy and ensure she has the appropriate level ...

Paul Tuns Abortion costs Canadians taxpayers at least $80 million a year. Government is less than open about the costs of abortion (and other abortion numbers). If abortion is real health care, why is everything about it a secret?
When Alissa Golob, head of Campaign Life Coalition Youth, started to prepare for the Oct. 22 Defund ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka The United Kingdom’s Department of Health (DoH) released detailed statistics about eugenic abortions several years after a pro-life group demanded the information. The UK-based ProLife Alliance filed a Freedom of Information request in February 2005 for more information about abortions due to fetal health. “Previously, this information had been readily available and the DoH was increasingly providing even greater detail in its annual abortion statistics, until one case for cleft palate abortion post 24 weeks became the focus of media ...

Pauline Kosalka Free the Children has denied that documents on its web site criticizing the Harper government’s maternal and child health plan for its lack of abortion funding reflect the organization’s policy. The organization posted two fact sheets about maternal and child health ahead of the G8 and G20 summits for youth, as part of its Keep the Promise campaign, encouraging youth to keep politicians accountable to their pledges.
On July 5, LifeSiteNews.com reported that Free the Children took down the fact sheets ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka and Paul Tuns While pro-lifers are rightly concerned primarily about abortion because it takes the life of an innocent human being in its earliest and most vulnerable stages, it has also long been clear that abortion harms women and society, too. The victims of abortion, those that pay a price for the easy destruction of the unborn through abortion-on-demand, go far beyond the womb. Multiple studies have shown that abortion has a fundamental impact ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka But pro-lifers say the comparison is accurate
The University of Calgary pro-life group is facing a backlash over a display comparing abortion to genocide. Campus Pro-Life erected a new display in late March behind a glass case at the university’s Student Centre. It consists of 290 pairs of baby shoes, symbolizing the 290 Canadian children that die from abortion every day. A small picture of the shoes of Holocaust victims in concentration camps and accompanying text links abortion to ... (Continue reading)
