No Justice for Unborn Canadian Deliberately Killed Without Mother’s Consent

MONTREAL, May 14, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A man who killed his baby by slipping the mother, his girlfriend, toxic drugs is facing sentencing for aggravated assault against the woman. No charges have been filed for the death of the baby. A Quebec court judge is struggling with whether jail time is warranted.  The court heard a recorded conversation between the woman and estranged boyfriend Gary Bourgeois, in which she said she would have preferred that he had he physically assaulted her. “I’d much rather have the physical scars than the emotional ones,” she said, as reported by The Canadian Press.

WESTMINSTER, May 14, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A 14 year-old British girl, after finding herself pregnant, was advised by a school counsellor to have an abortion, also counselling that it would be unnecessary to contact the girl’s parents.

Stopping the Spread of HIV/AIDS through Abstinence

FRONT ROYAL, Virginia, May 12, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Population Research Institute (PRI) has noted that the Catholic Church in Africa, because of its opposition to condoms, is often accused of contributing to the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa.  However, PRI argues the opposite is true.  “The Catholic Church has played a major role in containing the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa,” contends Steven W. Mosher, president of PRI. “Without its message of sexual abstinence before marriage and fidelity in marriage, the epidemic would have been arguably worse, not only among believers but among the general population.”“But the Church no longer […]

Mother Refused Abortion While Fighting Breast Cancer: Dies at 82

One of those daughters would not be alive today if it had not been for her mother’s faith and courage.

OHRI scientists led by Dr. Michael Rudnicki, Senior Scientist and Program director at the OHRI and Professor at the University of Ottawa, have now dispelled that notion.

China Admits its Girl Shortage Caused by One Child Policy is a “Major Threat”

Currently there are 117 boys for every 100 girls in China—13 million more boys than girls under the age of nine. The Chinese have traditionally favoured boys over girls, because a man can better take care of the parents in their old age, as well as carry on the family name. This custom has led to unbridled female infanticide and the selective abortion of female children. With a continuation of the current policy, by 2020, the gender discrepancy […]

The IES measures the degree to which someone avoids thinking about an event, as well as how frequently thoughts of an event “intrude,” or become conscious—both are indications of how strongly a trauma has impacted a person emotionally.  The […]

United Church of Canada to Endorse Same Sex “Marriage” at Supreme Court

May 4, 2004, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Canada’s largest non-Catholic Christian denomination is arguing in favour of homosexual “marriage”. The United Church of Canada has issued a media release which says, “Christian morality and religious principles require that same-sex couples have access to the same marriage rights as opposite-sex couples.” Couching the argument in terms of “rights” creates common cause with homosexual activists who assert that there is no fundamental difference between homosexual partnerships and normal marriage. The United Church is seeking intervenor status with the Supreme Court in the upcoming hearing on same sex “marriage” that is scheduled for October. The […]

U.S. House Approves Permanent Marriage Penalty Tax Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 4, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The U.S. House of Representatives approved by a wide margin a bill to permanently implement the marriage penalty tax cut, exempting married couples from an unfair higher taxation rate.  The bill, “The Marriage Penalty Tax,” permanently enshrines a tax-cut supported by U.S. President George W.

The controversy has surrounded the United Methodist Church’s General Conference this past weekend over the appointment of an openly homosexual woman as pastor of a Seattle church.

EDINBURGH, May 3, 2004, (LifeSiteNews.com) – As many as four hundred girls, some as young as 14, have been sterilized by doctors in Scotland at public expense, without their parents’ knowledge.

Court Revokes Ontario Film Board’s Authority to Censor Pornographic Films

TORONTO, May 3, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Ontario Superior Court Friday rescinded the Ontario Film Review Board’s authority to censor films.
