Print4 ONTARIO PRO-LIFERS CHARGED IN COURT
TODAY'S HEADLINES
St. Thomas, ON, Jan 19 (LSN) - Last week the court trial of John Bulsza, Rosemary Connell, Ann-Marie Tomlins, and William (Bill) Whatcott began. The four pro-lifers are being charged with publicly exhibiting a disgusting object, to wit: a dismembered aborted fetus and causing a public disturbance by exhibiting an indecent exhibition, to wit: a dismembered aborted fetus.
The charges stem from their participation in the "Show the Truth Tour", a pro-life demonstration which draws attention to the horrors of abortion. Participants in the demonstration displayed large 5 by 6 foot images of both healthy pre-born and post born babies, and aborted babies at various stages of development. They witnessed to the public the truth about abortion but strong opposition from specific individuals in the community led to the arrest and jailing (approx. 5 hours) of these four tour participants. The four accused pleaded not guilty to the charges and are arguing for freedom of speech and the right to inform and educate the public about the issue of abortion. In April the four defendants will be called to the witness stand.
Donations may be made to their defence - cheques made payable to Legal Defence Fund (in the memo portion of the cheques write "St. Thomas case"). Send to: Campaign Life Coalition 53 Dundas St. E. Suite # 305 Toronto, ON M5B 1C6
Back to TopAOL AND ABC SHOW ANTI-LIFE BIAS
WORLD WIDE WEB, Jan 19 (LSN) - America Online and ABC have both dedicated web space to highlight the abortion issue in recognition of the 25th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. And both sites offer a decidedly biased presentation in favour of abortion. America Online is publishing articles from leaders of national organizations that deal with the abortion issue and also providing for live events featuring notable public figures.
The articles are written by:
Wanda Franz, President, National Right to Life Committee Kate Michelman, President, NARAL Gloria Feldt, President, Planned Parenthood Federation of America Frances Kissling, President, Catholics for Free Choice Dr. Sig Linda Jacobson, Director of High Risk OB at OHSU
Taking a look at the articles, only one of the five authors presents a pro-life view.
Live events:
Kate Michelman, President of NARAL Wednesday, January 21, 2-3 p.m. Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ), the co-chairman of the House Pro-Life Caucus, and Representative George Miller (D-CA), the Minority Whip at Large and a staunch supporter of pro-choice. January 21, 5 - 6 p.m. Catholics for Free Choice and National Right to Life Committe meet to debate abortion rights on the anniversary of the Roe decision. Thursday, January 22, 6-7 p.m...
While two of the events are debates between a pro-life and pro-abortion figure, Kate Michelman of the notorious pro-abortion group NARAL is allowed a full hour of uncontested propaganda.

ABC's website offers an even more biased anti-life stance as it offers the following pages:
a) '"Better' Abortions Ahead." b) "The Pro-Choice Web Site." c) "Fewer Places for Abortions" d) "Ban Evokes Bitter Words." e) "Abortion and the Law"
Of all the stories only the final one has even a glimmer of pro-life sentiment with a comment from the National Right to Life Committee, however, the page features only one wav audio clip: Vicki Saporta of the National Abortion Federation.

"Any woman who is pregnant and in need and cannot afford medical help can come to us from anywhere, she can come to me personally," the cardinal told the 3,500 worshipers who packed St. Patrick's Cathedral yesterday.
In his homily Cardinal O'Connor drew attention to the 35 million unborn babies that have been "slaughtered" in the 25 years since the Supreme Court decision. Under the Cardinal's guidance the Archdiocese of New York has already has helped thousands of poor women avoid abortions. Women are offered free medical care, free hospital care, prenatal care and the option of keeping the baby or adoption.
