In its 1976 General Conference the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada adopted a resolution to petition the Prime Minister of Canada to give careful and immediate attention to the widespread practice of abortion (virtually on demand) and its destruction of innocent human life, and to enact legislation which will provide protection for the child conceived but not yet born - the same protection provided for any other person.
The resolution indicated that abortion should be performed only when the life of the ... (Continue reading)

"Is it human?"
"When does life begin?" When does human life begin? Is abortion simply like blowing one's nose, or is it much more? Is the fetus ....Etc.
Why, in our present search for answers to these questions, have we Christians not consulted our very Christianity? Neither the questions nor the answers are new; and neither, to a Christian, are really very complicated. The world may indeed change, but our human nature does not.
When the pre-Christian humanists asked how man was different ... (Continue reading)

Interim Staff As reported in the Mar. 83 Interim, Joe Borowski was threatened with a lawsuit by Henry Morgentaler if he did not apologize for publicly reiterating the truth about Morgentaler's unsanitary medical practices.
As reported in the Winnipeg Sun of Mar. 1, 1983, Borowski sent a copy of the Montreal Gazette article of Dec. 24, 1974, (reprinted elsewhere in this issue) to Morgentaler saying: "Very strange you did not threaten to sue the Gazette or the reporter who wrote that story, which ... (Continue reading)

Earl Amyotte Carl Sandburg was once asked, "What is the ugliest word in the English language?" Without hesitation he answered "Exclusive."
The Government in power has excluded the unborn from our laws and as such, babies in utero are no longer part of our human family. For a people to accept and approve this indictment is to deny the existence of God - abortion cannot be left in the realm of private morality.
The body politic of this country must elect men and women ... (Continue reading)

Gwendolyn Landolt A flood of critical court cases is expected across Canada in the next few years as pro-abortionists and others try to use various dangerous clauses in the new Canadian Charter of Rights to bring in abortion on demand, etc. It is vital, therefore, that the pro-life movement in this country have on call lawyers who are knowledgeable and up-to-date on all the ramifications of such "life" issues as abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, test tube babies, etc.
To this end, a special group ... (Continue reading)

Father Ted Colleton What has become known to history as the "Nuremberg Trial" began on November 20th, 1945. An indictment was lodged against twenty-four former Nazi leaders, charging them with numerous crimes against peace, conventional war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The chief crime was the killing of millions of innocent human beings, not only Jews (the largest number) but also gypsies (the most exterminated group), Slavs, political prisoners and undesirable civilians - this included the handicapped (physical and mental), the old and ...

Kathleen Toth It's becoming increasingly clear that neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals want to choose a leader who is sympathetic to Pro-Life concerns. Of the P.C. Party hopefuls, neither Mulroney, Blaikie, Crombie, Crosby nor Clark would bring any significant change in present party policy. Crosby did admit during the 1981 Convention that it was politically expedient to be Pro-Life in his riding! Jake Epp is personally Pro-Life, but being a strong Clark supporter, where does that put him? Don Mazankowski would ... (Continue reading)

A pastoral letter read in Catholic Churches in the Archdiocese of Vancouver informed Catholics that funds would no longer be accepted from United Way Appeal. The reason given is that "a financially participating agency of the United Way appears to promote or support abortion". We are extremely heartened by the united front which has emerged from religious groups. Margaret Fraser of Christians for Life has the signatures of 28 Protestant clergymen in a letter addressed to the Vancouver Sun as ... (Continue reading)

The Most Rev. James F. Carney, Archbishop of Vancouver, in a letter to the pastors of the Vancouver Archdiocese dated January 1983, removed the Catholic Community and charities from funding provided by United Way. The association had lasted for the past 50 years.
The move, effective January 1st of this year, was made to demonstrate the disappointment with United Way permitting Panned Parenthood, which according to the Badgery report is the largest abortion referral agency in Canada, to become ... (Continue reading)

Mr. Borowski commenced legal action against the Federal Ministers of Justice and Finance, alleging that they are misappropriating tax payers' money for the wrongful purpose of funding abortion procedures. The case has now been set down for trial for May 9, 1983.
However, on January 25, 1983, two pro-abortion organizations, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and Canadian Abortion Rights League (CARAL) applied to intervene in the trial as "amicus curiae" or "friends of the court". They argued that Mr. Borowski had ... (Continue reading)
