Articles for Month: December 2008

By Kathleen Gilbert INDIANAPOLIS, December 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The group responsible for an undercover exposé of a Bloomington Planned Parenthood clinic’s disregard for Indiana law has just today released more footage, revealing nearly identical behavior in an Indianapolis clinic. The pro-life student group known as Live Action Films went to the Georgetown at 86th Health Center, where UCLA student Lila Rose posed as a 13-year-old seeking an abortion after having relations with her 31-year-old “boyfriend.” Rose first told a Planned Parenthood staffer that she was 13 and wanted an abortion but didn’t want her boyfriend to get in “trouble” because of […]

RE:  Exclusive Report Summary: Twenty Years of Eugenic Abortion at Ontario Catholic Hospitalhttps://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/dec/08121112.html   As a practising Roman Catholic and the mother of five children who lost 3 children, one nine hours after birth, another 24 days after birth, and the last one in my arms at 7 months, I just could not read this entire article without crying.  And coming from a Catholic hospital, it is three times more repulsive.  I condemn this behaviour.   Peggy Kelly – Greely, Ontario  ____________________________________ This is the unauthorised and direct taking of innocent life (God alone can authorise it). In other words, this act […]

The hospital's claim that it is not performing sterilizations is based upon a false definition of sterilization says diocesan representative

Bishop Alfeyev lamented the position of the Christian West, "which pressures the Third World and the Islamic world to accept contraception, abortion and sterilization."

By Kathleen Gilbert December 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Anti-euthanasia groups in Canada and Oregon are calling physicians, caregivers, and concerned citizens across the world to “Take the Pledge” to pursue genuine care for even the most dependent patients, and never to consent to assisted suicide. Take-the-pledge.com, created by The Physicians for Compassionate Care in Oregon and the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, provides links to several anti-assisted suicide groups and invites caregivers and other visitors to make a pledge that reaffirms the duty to “do no harm.” Rather than providing assisted suicide, by signing the pledge the signer affirms, “Whenever I help […]

By Ellen M. Rice VILNIUS, December 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews) – An amendment that the Lithuanian Parliament added to its protection of minors statutes last week says that “public information that agitates for homosexual relations” causes “a detrimental effect on the development of minors” and “defies family values.” The story was largely ignored by the English speaking press, but the UK’s homosexual news source, Pink News, states that the homosexual rights group Tolerant Youth Association (TJA) believes the law will ban homosexual websites, films such as Brokeback Mountain, discos, exhibitions, demonstrations and other public events.  The law is set to be […]

By Ellen M. Rice BUDAPEST, Hungary, December 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) — Yesterday Hungary’s Constitutional Court struck down Parliament’s Domestic Partnership Act, which gave legal recognition to unmarried and same-sex partnerships, because the Act diminished the importance of true marriage. The Domestic Partnership Act, passed by parliament in 2007, was meant to give any couple the same rights as those enjoyed by married couples.  It gave heterosexual and homosexual couples next of kin status, taxation benefits, health care, inheritance, social security, pension and shared property rights.  It was set to take effect on January 1, 2009. The Hungarian Court says the […]

By Kathleen Gilbert NEW YORK, December 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Homosexual couples in much of New York who have been “married” out of state can now list both their names on children’s birth certificates.  While New York law does not allow same-sex unions to be called marriages, the new birth certificates follow Gov. David Paterson’s initiative to revamp New York law to extend more privileges to homosexuals.  In May, Paterson issued a directive to state agencies ordering them to respect out-of-state homosexual “marriages.” The state Health Department agreed to the change Friday in compliance with the lawsuit of a Canada-“wed” […]
