Paul Tuns On Sept. 9, an Edmonton Court of Queen’s Bench judge gave a now 25-year-old perpetrator a suspended sentence after her conviction for a six-year-old murder of a newborn was reduced to an infanticide conviction. Pro-lifers both pointed to the intellectual consistency of the ruling and expressed horror over the message the light punishment sends about the value of human life.
In April 2005, then 19-year-old Katrina Effert of Wetaskiwin in central Alberta, gave birth to a baby boy, strangled him to ... (Continue reading)
