Dear readers,
There has been a heavy emphasis on Canadian news for the past few days, but for good reason. Be assured that all the crucial international developments are also a priority while we are covering the astonishing Order of Canada development that has put the abortion issue high in the public consciousness again in Canada.
There has been an unprecedented response to the story that arch-abortionist Henry Morgentaler was appointed to receive the highest national civilian award. Campaign Life Coalition, the political arm of the pro-life movement in Canada has performed yeoman service on the issue, providing news of the appointment to media and key stakeholders a few days prior to the official announcement.
With that lead time many of the life and family groups, church and civic leaders were primed to respond to the official announcement on Canada Day. Phones at the Governor General’s office have been clogged for the past two days, emails and faxes have poured in. As you’ll see in today’s news a petition drive has been launched just this evening and a protest outside the Governor General’s headquarters has been set for July 9th.
Kudos to Campaign Life Coalition which launched LifeSiteNews.com a dozen years ago, and kudos to all of you and the other organizations who have taken action on this matter raising the right to life debate in Canada to a prominence we have not seen in many years. Keep up your prayers and hard work, sign and promote the online petition, write those letters to the editor, contact your MPs and remember LifeSiteNews.com when deciding where to make your donations. Also, for those of you with Facebook accounts, be sure to join our Facebook group, "Fans and Friends of LifeSiteNews.com", that was launched today.
For Life,
