In a paragraph in yesterday’s report on the death of former Catholic Register editor Larry Henderson, statements in the Register on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and a call for withdrawal of support at the time from the Ontario Tories were incorrectly attributed to Henderson.
The statements were in fact made in ads from Campaign Life (now called Campaign Life Coalition) that Mr. Henderson agreed to publish in the Register at the time.
The paragraph has been replaced in the story with the following:
The Globe and Mail today reported that Henderson caused a “furor” by accepting paid ads in 1981 from Campaign Life that asked Ontarians to not vote for the Ontario Tories in the provincial election. Campaign Life complained that then premier Bill Davis and his party were major supporters of Prime Minister Trudeau’s proposed Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which the pro-life organization strongly opposed.
The Globe, implacably opposed to the Register’s pro-life stance, noted
that the prophetic ads from Campaign Life warned the Charter would result in abortion-on-demand, homosexual “marriage” and adoption and the
loss by women of financial support from their husbands.
