TORONTO, September 29, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Late Saturday evening LifeSite posted Campaign Life Coalition’s evaluation of the Candidates for the Ontario provincial election. The first list put up earlier Saturday evening did not have the correct yes and no answers to the questionnaire due to a technical problem. Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) is urging Ontario LifeSite readers to pass on the evaluation information and web address to other pro-life voters. This will allow them to cast an informed vote based firstly on the issue of protection of human life.
With respect for life having declined immensely the past few decades, warns CLC, a deadly utilitarian attitude towards human life has entered into the culture and into our institutions, corrupting both. To have a society that accepts the obligation to help those in need is impossible without there first being a formal acceptance of the sacredness of every human being, born or unborn.
As the killing by abortion, infanticide and euthanasia continues and increases, it is unlikely that the plight of the poor, the vulnerable and the oppressed and other social justice issues will ever receive the actions they deserve. With human life becoming so devalued it is more likely that emphasis will increase to eliminate even more “unwanted” people than to help them.
CLC strongly emphasizes that the first social justice priority must be to have the inherent value of human life accepted and the right to life thoroughly protected.
Campaign Life Coalition urges all Ontarians to vote pro-life as their first priority. See the evaluations at http://www.lifesite.net/elections/provincial/Ontario/2003/
