NEW YORK, November 28, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Rev. William Sinkford, a black man who is president of the Unitarian Universalist Association, said “the struggle for gay civil rights is this generation’s great challenge, just as equality for blacks was the last generation’s”. This statement followed on the heels of the November 18 Massachusetts Supreme Court order to legalize same-sex marriage in that state. The Massachusetts court cited landmark laws that struck down bans on interracial marriage as a comparison for the same-sex marriage issue.  Conservative black leaders are incensed by the comparisons, stating that homosexual behaviour is a choice. Mychal […]

PARIS, November 28, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – French law was amended today to introduce penalties for crimes perpetrated against the unborn. The amendment creates a new offence – involuntary termination of a pregnancy, and includes penalties and prison time for acts that, through negligence or recklessness, kill an unborn child. Legislators say the amendment would have no consequence upon a woman’s access to abortion. France legalized abortion in 1975.  Current law has no provision for the unborn, as the fetus is not considered a person. Those who through medical error or by accident kill an unborn child are thus not currently […]

HALIFAX, November 28, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Abortionist Henry Morgentaler’s abortuary in Halifax closed yesterday to the joy of the pro-life group Campaign Life Coalition Nova Scotia whose members have faithfully picketed in front of the clinic every day it was open for the last fourteen years.  While Morgentaler’s staff now claim the closing is due to abortion being available at the local Victoria General hospital, the hospital was already doing abortions in 1999 when Morgentaler admitted that his Nova Scotia operations were not turning a profit.  In a press release, Campaign Life Nova Scotia welcomed the news that Morgentaler decided […]

OTTAWA, November 28, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Incoming Prime Minister Paul Martin has appointed Francis Fox, a former Liberal cabinet minister under Prime Minister Trudeau, to one of the most powerful positions in his Prime Ministers Office, that of principal secretary.  Fox’s former political career ended in disgrace in January 1978 when he resigned as solicitor general.  The Globe and Mail reports that Fox “confessed to the Commons that he had signed someone else’s name on a hospital document to help secure an abortion for a woman with whom he had been having an affair.”  Martin defended his appointment of Fox […]

SAN FRANCISCO, November 27, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera is seeking to have the city join Planned Parenthood in its legal challenge to the Partial Birth Abortion Ban.  The Chronicle reports that Herrera filed a motion in U.S. District Court on Tuesday asking to join the lawsuit on behalf of San Francisco’s Department of Public Health and its employees. Spouting the same rhetoric used by pro-abortion zealots who support the gruesome late-term abortion procedures, Herrera said “public health services would be compromised, potentially endangering the health and lives of the city’s neediest women,” with the legislation.  […]

WASHINGTON, November 27, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In and interview with the German magazine Bunte, Hillary Clinton, wife of former President Bill Clinton, said she would not run for President in the 2004 election.  “Well, perhaps I’ll do it next time around,” she said. Hilary Clinton is currently in the U.S. Senate and has shown herself to be as radically anti-life and anti-family as her husband.  She has openly supported homosexual ‘marriage’ and has spoken out against the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act which was signed into law by President Bush November 5.  Speaking of her husband during the interview, Clinton […]

CASTRIES, St. Lucia, November 27, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Only one week after St. Lucia Prime Minister Kenny Anthony cancelled parliamentary debate on his plan to partially liberalize the Caribbean island’s abortion law, the legislature approved the new bill allowing abortion. The new law allows abortion in cases of rape, incest or if needed to protect the “health” of the mother. Prior debate of the bill was cancelled by Anthony following the receipt of a 9,000-signature petition presented by Archbishop Kelvin Felix demanding that the legislation be shelved. St. Lucia is a country of 160,000 people, 90 percent of whom are […]
