The Interim
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s advisory committee for reproductive health drugs on June 28 unanimously approved the “safety and effectiveness” of emergency contraceptives, also known as morning- after pills (MAPs), but questions are being raised as to just how safe and effective they really are.

With the sexual orientation legislation having passed in the Senate, it is now law. Of great concern during the debates in the House of Senate on the issue, was the absolute denial of any attempt to safeguard the rights of religious communities to defend their moral teaching on homosexuality.
In the words of Senator Anne Cools, “Any critical comments and any proposed improvements have been treated harshly. Any concern about Bill C-33 is deliberately misunderstood and clouded ... (Continue reading)

Conference a major boost for family
Fr. Ted Collection
Along with about a thousand other people I attended the Second Pan-American Conference on Family Education. It was held at the Regal Constellation Hotel, Toronto. The title for this Conference was: “Building the Civilization of Love.” I thought that the entire conference was an outstanding success and great credit is due to Paul and Teresa Tomory, who were the principal organizers. Needless to say, they were helped by many others.
The Conference began ... (Continue reading)

To the immense dismay of sex gurus and Planned Parenthood operators, a growing number of young Canadians are hearing why “yes” is the answer to these questions.

Two trustees, Jim Chisholm and Laurae McNally, were absent when the motion was passed. They asked the board to rescind its decision. The board had four opportunities ... (Continue reading)

Sue Careless “Educators have been fed misinformation from higher sources who have hidden agendas. These are the facts. This is the truth about the risks.”
If you want ammunition to show the school board that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are on the rise, and chastity, not the condom, is the answer, you have it in Dr. Rosemarie Gilbert’s resource booklet, Adolescent Sexuality.
“I want to enable the lay person to say to the skeptics and the cynics. ‘It doesn’t matter what you think of ... (Continue reading)

Sue Careless “There’s nothing funny about porn,” says artist and child therapist Anita Oliveira, but that didn’t stop her from creating Watch Out, a comic book to fight pornography.

Gloria Lawrenson A few years ago, the fame show Family Feud posed the question: “What do twelve year olds wait for?” A phone call, their report cards, and Christmas were among the top answers. But one day last month, a twelve year old at the North York Crisis Pregnancy Centre was waiting for something else. You guessed it- the results of her pregnancy test.
Jesse Beck, Director of the centre, glanced at the youngster sitting in her office- hair dishevelled, dark eyes forlorn, ... (Continue reading)
