Interim StaffReports from the United States and Sweden recently surfaced that illustrate the lethal consequences of the abortion culture for women who have induced and chemical abortions.
It has been revealed by Fox News that in suburban Detroit, a 15-year-old girl died Jan. 8 as a result of a second-trimester abortion. Dr. Leigh Hlavaty performed an autopsy on 15-year-old Tamia Russell the next day and determined that death was caused by "uterine infarction, ... (Continue reading)

Campaign Life Coalition British Columbia president John Hof placed the file on the desk at the B.C. Corporate Registry office in Victoria. Checking the financial status reports of various pro-abortion organizations has become an annual trek for pro-lifers, much as it is for those in the abortion industry who check out pro-life groups.
But Hof never guessed he would come across so radical a change as to make him stop and ponder. Planned ... (Continue reading)

The InterimCanada's most prominent pro-abortion, radical feminist lobby group, the National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC), is in serious financial trouble and may be forced out of business.
In March, the National Post reported the group has been so burdened by debt over the last two years that it "has been effectively closed" as it struggles to pay its bills. The group's problems began in the late 1990s, ... (Continue reading)

As I began reading Danielle Crittenden's latest book amanda bright@home, I was concerned when the acknowledgments said that the title character had originally come to life in the National Post and Wall Street Journal online. I was concerned that not having read any of Crittenden's serializations would leave me unsatisfied with the book. Would I be able to piece ... (Continue reading)

The plaintiff, identified only as "Sarah" to protect her identity, filed her lawsuit on ... (Continue reading)

Anyone who has spent any amount of time in our movement knows how hard it can be to keep the batteries charged. I am, of course, talking about the many defeats we seem to experience - even though our cause is a righteous cause.
After all, are we not trying to be a voice for the voiceless? None of us garner anything for ourselves ... we have no self-interest here. It is, and always has been, a ... (Continue reading)

Once, in a washroom at Halifax Airport, I discovered that the paper towel dispenser was empty. The condom machine was full, but towels are better for drying hands. In Toronto last year, the condom dispensers in the lady's room were equally well stocked, but it was impossible to get cough drops in any of the terminal's many kiosks.
On CBC radio last summer, condom usage was described as "an act of ... (Continue reading)

I have often wondered on what hill Canadian Christians would finally take a stand as our culture becomes increasingly dark. It appears to me that we have largely caved on abortion, we are in process of caving on the sinfulness of homosexuality, and the so-called mercy killing of the sick and aged is fast approaching as a new threat. I wish I were talking about merely the liberal wing of the church, but I fear ... (Continue reading)

There can be seen today, in late modern society, a furtive obsession with sex in all its forms and manifestations. This is likely to be, among many people, an attempt to psychologically counteract the fact that, almost everywhere in late-modern society, death (abortion), sterility (the collapse of large and stable families), violence (burgeoning crime rates), and horror (in the media) reign. Late-modern societies ... (Continue reading)
