Marriage and Family, Motherhood | Author:
It was suggested to me recently that I should write a column on "the mother" in today's world. When I began to think about it, I realized that it is impossible to separate the mother from the family and so I decided to write on the family and the importance of the mother in that capacity. I am going to more or less repeat an article ... (Continue reading)

Donald DeMarco Women who sell or donate their eggs and giving away a whole lot more
Donating motherhood
"Is this egg worth $50,000?" is the provocative title of an article in Self magazine (Nov. 2000) that takes a close look at the new world of "egg donation." According to its author, Sheila Weller, close to 4,500 American women "donate" their eggs every year. Receiving $50,000 in exchange for a "donation" is obviously disingenuous. Federal law prohibits the selling of human organs, and although ova may ... (Continue reading)

CTV newsmagazine's allegations of deception
and manipulation are without foundation
By Tony Gosgnach
The Interim
One building houses a volunteer-driven crisis pregnancy centre, where mothers-to-be are given counselling and as many resources as possible in support of bringing their babies to birth. Right next door is an abortuary, in which preborn humans of five months gestation are regularly killed.
Guess which of the two got to be the victim of a hidden camera "expose" by the CTV newsmagazine program W-Five? If you guessed the abortion clinic, ... (Continue reading)

several pro-life organizations
By Linda Wegner
The Interim
It took three years of planning, two years of fundraising, the cooperation of several organizations and many hours of training and preparation, but on November 6, 2000, a site housing the Campaign Life Coalition office, the Canadian Survivors of Abortion office and the Saskatoon Crisis Pregnancy Centre opened its doors to the public....

The Interim
As the October issue of The Interim went to press the United States Food and Drug administration announced it has given final approval to the abortion pill RU-486, which pro-lifers call a "human pesticide." The approval process was begun by President Bill Clinton, as one of his first acts in office in 1993.
"Campaign Life Coalition is shocked that a dangerous drug has been given such approval in the U.S. and we will strenuously oppose its acceptance in Canada. This pill ... (Continue reading)

Commentary by William Gairdner
The Interim
If smart people are so stupid, what is there to hope for? In her recent article in the National Post on the Canadian Alliance leadership race ("Manning Looks Like a Leader," July 6), Diane Francis wrote something appalling and disappointing that illustrates precisely why Canada needs an honest and open debate on social issues and a party and a leader unafraid to address them.
Rightly sensing that abortion is the sharpest moral issue dividing so-called "fiscal" from "social" ... (Continue reading)

‘I thought feminists were pro-woman, not angry, hurt people
whose logic I can't understand'
By Cathrina Keet
The Interim
A battle over women's rights was fought at the United Nation Headquarters in New York. My concept of justice, democracy, and reality was shattered during the portion of the Beijing+5 PrepCom which I recently attended.
I expected the United Nations to attack violence against women, hunger, war disease, and a lack of education, water, and medicine. Instead I ... (Continue reading)

Fr Ted Colleton
I have never been an expert at anything, apart from eating and sleeping. But, since I became active in the pro-life movement some years ago, I have taken a special interest in the question of world population. The obvious reason for this is the effect which abortion and contraception must have on the number of new human beings.
Having read the 19th-century predictions of Thomas Malthus, that the population growth would outrun the ... (Continue reading)

Chivalry is dead!" Such is the oft-heard cry of the 1990s non-feminist female. Believe it or not, guys, there are more than a few women who are still honoured when you open a door or pull out a chair for them. But before we go blaming the men for a lack of chivalry, we must consider how much the feminist movement has contributed to ... (Continue reading)

Edmonton police were put on the defensive July 17 after they arrested a pregnant, 33-year-old, solvent-sniffing mother. Police Chief John Lindsay said the action was taken for the sake of the woman and her child. Jeanette Reid was later charged with illegally sniffing solvents, and sentenced to six months in jail.
But that is not what has some people up in arms. It is Lindsay's explanation which has caused ... (Continue reading)

Dr. Ed Napke The hand that rocks the cradle rocks or bulls the world. Up until now that hand was mom's hand. In a way, mom is the keystone to our society and civilization - the good, the bad and the in-between.
So why isn't mom recognized as a societal and economic power? Why did the early feminists of some 40 years ago look down on the "stay-at-home" mothers? Why the status gap between ... (Continue reading)
