TORONTO, September 24, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A full-page ad set for publication in the National Post Saturday presents the chilling comparisons between court decisions that allowed slavery, the subjugation of native Americans and women, the holocaust against the Jews, and abortion.
Under the heading, "Sometimes the most important lessons take the longest to learn", the Toronto Right to Life sponsored ad lists a succession of court decisions that have denied the personhood of various sectors of humanity with atrocious results. The ad text related to each decision is:
* "In the eyes of the law... The slave is not a person." Virginia Supreme Court decision, 1858
* "An Indian is not a person within the meaning of the Constitution." George Canfield - American Law Review, 1881
* "The statutory word 'person' did not in these circumstances include women." British Voting Rights case, 1909
* "The Reichsgericht itself refused to recognize Jews... as 'persons' in the legal sense." German Supreme Court decision, 1936
* "The law of Canada does not recognize the unborn child as a legal person possessing rights." Canadian Supreme Court - Winnipeg Child and Family Services Case, 1997
The ad presents Canadians with the graphic truth that "In the absence of a law, abortion is permitted through all nine months of pregnancy" adding that "Every day 300 unborn babies die by abortion in Canada."
