By Hilary White   OAKWOOD, Derby, UK, February 27, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In November 2007, LifeSiteNews.com reported that a Christian couple in Somerset, UK, was being forced to retire from fostering needy children on conscientious grounds after the local council imposed rules requiring them to discuss homosexuality with the children. Now a similar case is reported in Derby, in which the local council is being sued after rejecting an application from a Christian couple to assist foster children under ten years old.

By Hilary White   TORONTO, February 27, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pressure is mounting against the Canadian Human Rights Commissions. In recent days a federal court has criticised the Commissions for long-term incompetence and a Canadian Journalists’ group has come out in support of defendants Maclean’s magazine, Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant.   A federal court judge has lambasted the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) for taking 23 years to come to a conclusion in a case involving equal pay for female postal workers.   In 1983, the Public Service Alliance of Canada alleged that Canada Post’s mostly female clerical workers […]

By Thaddeus M. Baklinski   WASHINGTON, DC, February 27, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The US Senate has approved, by a 52-42 vote, an amendment to the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, sponsored by Senator David Vitter (R-Louisiana), which will prevent Indian Health Service (IHS) funds from being used to pay for abortions, except to save the life of the mother, rape or incest of a minor.   US federal funding of abortions has been restricted since 1976 under the Hyde Amendment, but the Interior Appropriations Bill, from which the IHS receives its funding, does not have a “Hyde provision.” “The federal […]

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman   MOROCCO, February 27, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Human Rights Watch (HRW), an organization that has long been committed to promoting homosexual behavior and abortion as human “rights”, has now targeted the government of Morocco.   The organization, working together with the “Moroccan Human Rights Association”, is “urging” the government of Morocco to repeal its laws banning sodomy. Under Moroccan law, those who are convicted of the crime can spend up to three years in prison. To pressure the government, HRW is gathering signatures for an on-line petition.   The campaign was initiated in response to the […]

By Hilary White   February 27, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An article in this weekend’s Los Angeles Times reports that more North American women are using inexpensive genetic tests to determine the sex of their children before birth. These tests may then become the determining factor in deciding for abortion.   The tests, which cost $300 or less, are often used to determine the sex of a child before birth. The LA Times reports that they have been found to be unreliable and more than a hundred women have launched suits against one Massachusetts company, Acu-Gen, over wrong results. Direct-to-consumer genetic […]

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman   BRAZIL, February 26, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The courageous journalism of Brazilian reporter Hugo Marques, published today for the first time in English by LifeSiteNews.com, opens a window to a dark vision of Brazil’s savage, pre-Christian past, and the horrifying future that awaits the Western world should it decide to fully implement the ideology of death that is increasingly supported by the global intellectual and political establishment (see article at https://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/feb/08022604.html).   As LifeSiteNews reporter John Jalsevac revealed on Friday, the world’s most prestigious bioethics journal is now openly endorsing the practice of eugenic infanticide, the […]
