TORONTO, June 28, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – With the battle over Canada’s Same-sex Marriage bill C-38 coming to an end, LifeSiteNews.com interviewed Jim Hughes, president of the Canadian national pro-life organization, Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) and vice-president of International Right to Life. Hughes has been extremely active in the life and family struggles for over 25 years.
Hughes is asked questions about the connection between pro-life and defending marriage, his suggested response to MPs who vote for same-sex marriage, how much support should be given to those who vote against C-38, how he thinks Canada came to this situation of abortion on demand and same-sex marriage, why all recent Catholic Prime Ministers have supported radical changes, the role of the United Nations, why Canada has been so activist in these issues and what he has found to be the biggest obstacles to success.
Most notably Hughes emphasizes that lack of spiritual leadership is “way up there” on the list of obstacles he and many other pro-life, pro-family leaders have experienced in their struggles to defend life and family. He states “When I joined the pro-life movement I expected the Christian churches would be in the forefront of this battle against the killing of the unborn but instead I’ve found we’ve had to drag them kicking and screaming to the positions that they should take in all these different issues. That has been most disconcerting”.
