Interim Staff Interim editor Paul Tuns said The Interim will outlast the CBC or Globe and Mail.
In September, Campaign Life Coalition held local forums in two Ontario cities, Kitchener and Ajax, with another scheduled for northern Ontario in mid-October. The events are a way to give local pro-life activists a chance to hear pro-life leaders and experts in an near-by and inexpensive venue.
On Sept. 15, more than 50 area activists attended the Kitchener ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka and Paul Tuns American fast-food chain Chick-fil-A has come under fire for its president’s stance on the traditional family. During an interview with The Baptist Press, CEO and president Dan Cathy said he was “guilty as charged” regarding being pro-family. “We are very supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God ... (Continue reading)

Jessica Lamb Since abortion became legal in the United States in 1973, many abortionists and abortuary staff have switched sides. But how do people so ensconced in the abortion industry abandon the profession and become pro-life advocates? What is the spark that moves them to reconsider not only their employment, but their worldview?
In many cases it’s nothing less than “the great awakening.” The abortion worker suddenly awakes to the reality of what it is ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka The pro-life movement is on the rise in many European countries. Marches with thousands of attendees were held in Madrid, Rome, and Paris, while other Western European nations, long purported to be bastions of so-called progressivism, have also seen some surprising signs of life.
In Munster, Germany in 2011, a pro-life march of 200 participants carrying white crosses took place. A police escort was required to clear the way for the marchers and separate them from homosexual activists who were throwing ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka CNN singled out LifeSiteNews over its criticism of Melinda Gates’ funding for contraceptives.
“Responding to simmering controversy among Catholic bloggers about her new birth control program, Melinda Gates – a practising Catholic – said she will not shrink from her role as an advocate for poor women,” CNN stated. “One blog in particular, LifeSiteNews.com, has frequently published diatribes against Gates, calling into question her faith, and calling her plan a ‘blatant attack on Catholic sexual morality’,” the news agency wrote a ...

Interim Staff Over the past three months, pro-life activists have been physically assaulted by abortion supporters, a sign, pro-lifers say, that their message is hitting a nerve.
In Thunder Bay, Ont., in June, the New Abortion Caravan saw a man berate three pro-life activists as he poured chocolate milk over them. A few days later in London, Ont., a group of pro-abortion activists confronted the New Abortion Caravan and attempted to destroy the image ... (Continue reading)

Patrick B. Craine and Paul Tuns The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed an appeal by pro-life prisoner of conscience Linda Gibbons on June 8 as she continues her 18-year battle to overturn a Toronto injunction banning pro-life activity outside abortion facilities.
Gibbons was appealing a criminal charge of disobeying a court order by arguing that while the 18-year-old temporary injunction she is accused of violating was instituted by a civil court, she has since been tried in criminal courts.

Pauline Kosalka The pro-life movement in Europe has had some notable successes the previous year with the marches for life held in Italy, Spain, and France.
During the weekend of May 12-13, 15,000 showed up for the March for Life in Rome. As reported by LifeSiteNews, the organizers of the march expected the numbers to be three times less and many of the participants came from outside Italy. In 2011, only 600 people showed up for the march. This year’s event had a ... (Continue reading)

While acknowledging that Donnelly is a practicing Catholic and his brother is a priest, Harrison Mooney, the Yahoo!

Steve Jalsevac Special to The Interim
On Feb. 15 of last year LifeSiteNews announced, much to the shock of our readers, that LifeSiteNews and five of its staff are the subject of a $500,000 lawsuit from a self-professed ‘pro-choice’ Quebec Catholic priest, Fr. Raymond Gravel.
Fr. Gravel, a former Member of Parliament, who was forced by the Vatican to leave politics, argued that LifeSiteNews’ coverage of some of his more controversial public statements amounted to “libel.” He was ... (Continue reading)
