CALGARY, AB, Apr 22 (Lifesitenews.com) – The Alberta College of Physicians is to decide tomorrow if it will limit the prescription of chemical abortions to centres where surgical abortion facilities are available. It seems that, due to the absence of a law on abortion, no restriction exists against doctors prescribing chemical abortion pills from their own offices. Three years ago BC abortionist Ellen Wiebe requested permission to experiment with administering the cancer-fighting drug methotrexate and the ulcer-fighting misoprostol to women to procure abortions (M&M abortions). After publishing her success with this RU-486-type concoction in the 1996 Canadian Medical Association Journal, […]

DENVER, Colorado, Apr 22 (Lifesitenews.com) – Out of the same state which rocked the world with reports of the recent high school massacre comes a study showing the benefits of using the brains of aborted fetuses to treat Parkinson’s patients. A research team from Denver Colorado has published the results of their study into the macabre procedure noting that each Parkinson’s patient treated required the use of four dead babies. The glowing reports of the success of the procedure are marred by the blood of the babies sacrificed to the god of convenience and science. The announcement was made yesterday […]

OTTAWA, Apr 21 (Lifesitenews.com) – On the recommendation of Canada’s police chiefs, the Canadian government is contemplating decriminalizing the possession of small quantities of illegal drugs including heroin. According to the National Post, the government may announce next week a proposal which would allow “anyone convicted of simple possession of narcotics [to] simply sign a guilty statement and pay a fine, without having to go through the court system. They would not have a criminal record.” Insiders say that the reason for the suggestion relates to the incredible difficulty police incur attempting to prosecute drug charges in the courts. Julian […]

PRINCETON, NJ, Apr 21 (Lifesitenews.com) – Editorials from Toronto (National Post) to Washington (Washington Times) are lambasting Princeton University for their decision to grant a tenured professorship to legal-infanticide advocate,  Dr. Peter Singer. The media attention comes thanks to a pro-life group of Princeton students fighting the Singer appointment. The group is headed up by Christopher Benek, and calls itself Princeton Students Against Infanticide. The group says Mr. Singer advocates parents being permitted to kill their disabled infants up to 28 days after birth. Singer, a radical animal rights advocate who has equated human and animal life, is set to […]

VICTORIA, BC, Apr 21 (Lifesitenews.com) – A new study published in the Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology confirms previous research that associates cohabitation prior to marriage with a sharp increase in the likelihood of divorce. It also shows that marriage tends to be delayed by cohabiting couples. According to today’s National Post, Professor Aheng Wu of the University of Victoria has found that “women who have lived with a man out of wedlock are 80% more likely to eventually divorce or separate than are women who have never entered into a live-in relationship, while men who have been in […]

TORONTO, Apr 21 (Lifesitenews.com) – Michael Izzotti, a practicing pharmacist and the President of Pharmacists for Life International – Canada, told LifeSite yesterday that the manual used by pharmacists confirms that “the pill” causes abortions. Izzotti read out various segments of the “Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties” that indicated that the so-called contraceptive pill acts in three ways, one of which is to weaken the endometrium (the lining of the womb) thus preventing implantation of the conceived child. Izzotti told LifeSite that “altering the endometrium has no other purpose than to prevent the implantation of an already conceived (fertilized) child […]

LONDON, Apr 20 (Lifesitenews.com) – Much to the dismay of Planned Parenthood, a prominent English researcher has warned that dismissing links between the pill and breast cancer is premature.  Professor Klim McPherson of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine writes in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health that “recent research suggesting only a slight risk from the pill may be too simplistic.” McPherson asserts that since women now take the pill at earlier ages, and for longer periods,  the early studies are insufficient. Evidence suggests the risk of breast cancer may increase with early use of the […]
