BY LifeSiteNews.com By Tim WaggonerCHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I., July 8, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In the wake of Dr. Henry Morgentaler’s induction into the Order of Canada, the Premier of P.E.I. has affirmed that his government will not revisit the province’s abortion policy.Current policy forbids abortions from being performed in the province, but states that the P.E.I. government will cover the cost of an abortion if the woman procures it in a hospital in a different province and under the recommendation of two doctors.Despite criticisms from pro-abortion organizations, the Chronicle Herald has reported that Premier Robert Ghiz has maintained that he has no plans of re-addressing the province’s policy on abortion because of its "controversial" nature.Hemke Vanderzwaag, president of the P.E.I. Right to Life Association, says she is proud of the province’s no-abortion policy. "We don’t think it is correct that we have abortion at all because God created life and we are not allowed to kill it," she said.The only reason P.E.I. is able to prohibit abortions from being performed on its soil is the 1989 defeat of Kim Campbell’s C-43 bill, which was calculated to prevent no-abortion policies, according to abortionist Henry Morgentaler and a 12-page memo from Campbell to physicians.Father Alphonse de Valk, editor of Catholic Insight and a veteran of the pro-life movement, told LifeSiteNews.com that the controversial abortion bill would have prevented the province from prohibiting abortionists from killing children on the Island’s soil by permitting physicians, and even nurses, to perform abortions in their own private offices. "Kim Campbell’s protocol for the physicians was wide open abortion practice," said Father de Valk. In the past, Morgentaler has ruthlessly attempted to impose abortion on PEI, suing the province because he was forbidden from killing unborn children in his clinics. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/no-abortions-on-pei-soil-says-premier/
