FREDERICTON, NB Dec 4 (LSN)  Henry Morgentaler, the father of abortion in Canada, pleaded with doctors in Fredericton last month to agree to commit abortions at his abortuary. No physicians have taken up his offer to train them in the practice. Therefore abortionists must be flown in to the abortion mill two days a month, hampering business for Morgentaler.  While New Brunswick funds abortions in hospitals, the province has denied funding to abortuaries. On Tuesday, the Canadian Medical Post reported that Morgentaler hopes to find local abortionists to staff his abortuary so that the government would be pressured into funding […]

JERUSALEM, Dec 4 (LSN)  Itai Arad, 49, died Oct. 5 at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital, one day after being disconnected from life support. Arad, who had Lou Gehrig’s disease, won a court case in 1996 when Tel Aviv District Court Judge Moshe Talgam ruled in a landmark decision that Arad had the right to choose the time of his death.  After hospital staff at one hospital refused his request to end life support, Arad was moved to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital where Dr. Avinoam Reches, agreed to disconnect Arad from life support with the approval of the hospital’s ethics committee.

NEW YORK, Dec 3 (LSN)  Ads aiming to indoctrinate teens with pro-abortion propaganda are turning up in the US. The ads for the abortion industry have followed the trend of other business ads aimed at youth using provocative language and photos. The Pro-Choice Public Education Project (PEP), a group of abortionists and their supporters, commissioned the radical DeVito/Verdi advertising agency. They are aiming to raise over $6 million for the advertising campaign scheduled to be seen in college newspapers, on billboards, on local television stations and cable networks.  The Washington Post described some of the ads as:  “a downtown waifette, […]
