On Father's Day, June 17, 1984, Campaign Life Ontario will co-ordinate a series of pickets to demonstrate throughout Ontario outside the hospitals which perform abortions.
Campaign Life recently obtained copies of the abortion statistics for every hospital in Ontario (see pages 8 and 9 of The Interim). These figures cover abortions performed from 1980 to 1982 inclusive. The Statistics clearly show the need for more facilities, such as Morgetaler-style clinics, is non-existent as vast numbers of abortions are already performed annually ... (Continue reading)

Sixteen-year-old Kimberly entered the Richmond Metropolitan Crisis Pregnancy Centre, pregnant and feeling very confused. She already had an appointment for an abortion at a local abortion clinic. The counselors at the CPC showed Kimberly lots of love and encouraged her to choose life. In her own words:
"When I left the Centre I left just as confused as I was when in there except that I had two special friends to stand beside me in my decision. ... (Continue reading)

In the December 1983 issue of Interim I gave a broad overview of the interesting situation in Langley, B.C. where the local hospital board of trustees has satisfactorily resolved a controversy over therapeutic abortions. In that article I promised to follow up with a second, detailing the ways in which this success was achieved.
Background
The 1968 changes to the Criminal Code of Canada, legalizing abortion in this country, opened a veritable Pandora's Box of evil consequences, which have affected every ... (Continue reading)

The pro-life women’s movement in Canada has recently made significant gains. Readers of The Interim will recall I have written before about the R.E.A.L. (Realistic, Equal, Active, for Life) Women of Canada which is a nationally incorporated organization recently formed to give pro-life, pro-family women a voice which had not been able to them before.
It is perhaps necessary for me to admit here that I have a total bias in favor of R.E.A.L. Women as I am an executive member ... (Continue reading)

As my business occasionally takes me to different parts of Canada, recently I have begun to contact various pro-life groups in the cities I visit.
In August, for example, I was in Calgary and in Edmonton (two days each), and in September, business took my partner and I to Vancouver for a week.
I cannot speak too highly of the kindness and generosity extended by those I have contacted. Everywhere, people gave ... (Continue reading)

The Serena organization is composed of couples who use the sympto-thermal method of Natural Family Planning. Very basically, this method combines observation of mucus and other symptoms with daily recording of temperature in order to establish the fertile and infertile times in any given cycle.
A very common question is – who or what is SERENA? Perhaps the best explanation of what SERENA stands for is stated in the objectives of the Serena Canada Corporation. Some of these ... (Continue reading)

Interim Staff It seemed apparent, therefore, that the next move was the organization - on a national basis- of a national umbrella group called "Canadian Advocates for Human Life." The purpose of the national body will be to coordinate and encourage the development of provincial chapters of pro-life lawyers, as well as to :
assemble lawyers together to discuss pro-life issues;
lend credibility to lawyers active in the pro-life field;
serve as a ... (Continue reading)

The Manitoba League for Life organized their signature campaign in six weeks. A preliminary advertisement describing the drive resulted in signed coupons and donations arriving in the League's office at over 1,000 a day. More support came from churches, schools, pro-life groups and organizations.
On March 30, the Winnipeg Free Press published 37,000 names in alphabetical order. The date was planned specifically so the campaign appeared publicly before Morgentaler opened his clinic. More names were gathered than were used, as they ... (Continue reading)

Interim Staff On May 10 over 80 pro-lifers picketed Iona Campagnolo in Thunder Bay. Ms Campagnolo was greeted by women and children carrying placards such as: Iona discriminates against tiny pre-born women;" "Iona does not have my vote;" and "Liberal support; Iona aborts!"
Campagnolo, current president of the Liberal Party of Canada, is being talked of as the nest Liberal leader (see The Interim, March 1983). She is a C.A.R.A.L. board member and has publicly stated her approval of abortion on demand.
In Thunder ... (Continue reading)

Sabrina Mcluhan On Mother's Day this year we celebrated the birth of a special Canadian baby. Small but vocal, like all newborns, this child represents the true women's movement.
This pro-family, pro-life national women's organization, the R.E.A.L. Women of Canada, was conceived by a group of women who could no longer tolerate the way the majority is being represented. Together with the media, the various women's groups who purport to speak for the women of this country in fact only speak for small ... (Continue reading)

An organization of union members, which has established six chapters in California to oppose abortion on demand, has called on "every union in the United States" to adopt a pro-life stance and work for the passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the unborn.
Union Workers for Life also urged AFL-CIO to adopt a pro-life resolution, insist on a pro-life "plank" at the Democratic national convention in New York, and support only those candidates for public office "who take a pro-life ... (Continue reading)
