The following article was printed in The Record, December 22, 2011. KITCHENER — Kitchener Centre MP Stephen Woodworth says Parliament should examine the question of when a child is considered human under law. In a news release Wednesday, Woodworth said Canadian law does not consider a child human until it is completely delivered out of a woman’s birth canal. “This means that in Canada a child is legally considered to be sub-human while his or her little toe remains in the birth canal, even if he or she is breathing.” Woodworth said the law, Section 223 of Canada’s [...]

“If mother cares – we care – If she doesn’t nor do we” Does that really make any sense? Smoke while pregnant and you can harm your baby. Drink alcohol while pregnant and you can harm your baby Use drugs while you are pregnant and you can harm your baby. Choose abortion while you are pregnant and you can kill your blob of cells, fetal tissue, products of conception dugh!!! BABY? This week, we want to dwell a little on what we believe are contradictions in attitudes and we have taken information from three different sources to reflect upon, The [...]

"Poverty is a major health threat in Toronto. Compared to people with higher incomes, people living in poverty have: Less access to nutritious food and physical activity; more exposure to pollution; more infections: more heart disease, diabetes, mental illness and cancer; smaller babies; and shorter lives. These health impacts of poverty are preventable. Eliminating poverty is the best medicine money can buy." -Dr. David McKeown – Medical Officer of Health, Toronto  "Poverty means not having. Not having the basics: good housing, education, childcare, transit, health services, dental care, and extra curricular activities. Not having the things that [...]

“Privately, UNFPA officers say they are in a bind, ’We have had a challenge making sure that when we communicate we are able to preserve women’s rights to abortion but at the same time say that sex selection on the basis of gender of the future child is incorrect because it amounts to discrimination. How do you hold on to this discrimination tag and at the same time talk about safe abortion and access to it? It has been a huge challenge for us….we are walking a tightrope.”  160 million missing women http://www.imfcanada.org/article_files/eReview_October_26_11.pd Women's rights are entitlements and freedoms claimed for [...]

We would like you to take the time to get acquainted with our youngest Canadians and we hope you enjoy learning about this amazing world which is hidden from our sight.

The [...]

"Crimes against humanity are not simply random acts of carnage. Rather, they are directed at particular groups of people, who have been so degraded and dehumanized that they no longer appear to be fully human or to merit the basic respect and concern that other humans command. Such crimes attack the very idea of humanity ‐ the conviction that all human beings partake of a common nature and possess an irreducible moral value. By implication, all human beings have a right, indeed an obligation, to respond ‐ to try to prevent such horrors from occurring and to redress [...]

On Friday November 11th 2011, The Ottawa University Medical Students for Life and the Ottawa Students for Life Club hosted a debate on "Should physicians provide or refer for abortions?"  The event had been planned for several months and at the outset both pro-life and pro-choice speakers were invited.  Stephanie Grey from the Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform accepted, but no one from the following list of well known pro-choice advocates responded. You have to say well done to Jovan Morales from the Atheist Community of the University of Ottawa at least he had the courage to stand up for his convictions. You can view the [...]

"On November 3rd the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada, which represents approximately 22 private abortion facilities, as well as abortion advocates, responded that they believe there is nothing to debate except about "how to eliminate remaining barriers to abortion care…." We have placed the web address at the end of our own press release in order for you to read just what the abortion industry has to say. The ARCC press release notes that "92% of Canadians don't want to make abortion legal again…." Now is that really accurate when the figure ARCC uses actually is listed under a [...]
