By Kathleen Gilbert BERKELEY, California, October 28, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The University of California Berkeley campus erupted into a hotbed of controversy earlier this week after the Genocide Awareness Project set up an immense two-day display of graphic abortion images in the midst of what is considered one of the most liberal universities in America. The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform teamed up with the on-campus group Berkeley Students for Life on Monday and Tuesday to set up the large images of aborted children, juxtaposed with the images and words of President Obama.  The huge billboards quickly attracted curious onlookers and […]

Speaking tour organized by pro-homosexual, pro-abortion Call to Action and feminist Women's Ordination Conference

By Thaddeus M. Baklinski TORONTO, October 28, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Two Russian lesbians have travelled all the way to Canada to be “married” under Canadian law in order to try to force Russian authorities to recognize their union. Though homosexuality is not illegal in Russia, Russian law states that marriage can only be between a man and a woman. The couple is hoping to exploit a loophole in Russian law which does not specify the gender of those married abroad. Irina Fedotova-Fet and Irina Shipitko came to Canada with the help of the homosexual advocacy group Egale Canada, and were […]

Two polls commissioned by the conservative Club for Growth and Minuteman PAC suggest Hoffman has taken the lead over Democrat Bill Owens and Republican Dede Scozzafava in the contest for a district that has voted GOP since the Civil War. Despite Republican Scozzafava's extreme liberal views – pro-abortion, […]

By Hilary White LAGOS, October 28, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Ministers of health from West African countries are calling for the legalization of abortion. A statement from the Health Ministers from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), a group of 15 West African countries, said that member states should make abortion “safe” by legalization. They claim that legal prohibitions on abortion have contributed to high maternal mortality rates. Using the language common to international population control groups like the United Nations Population Fund, the ECOWAS ministers proposed a special summit of heads of state to discuss “maternal, newborn and […]

Dear Readers, The Gap event at Berkeley is an historically significant development. The Stupak comments at a Town Hall meeting appear to be alarming. He certainly seems to indicate that if his very praiseworthy efforts to stop the funding of abortion fail, then he would nevertheless vote for the bill. Does he not comprehend that many consider this would be a vote for government funded baby killing? Perhaps if he replaced the word “abortion” with “slavery” or “racism” or “rape” of a certain category of people, he would then understand concerns that the bill cannot be supported no matter how […]

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman STOCKHOLM, October 26, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Representatives of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches in Sweden are joining conservative Lutherans in denouncing the recent decision by the Lutheran Church of Sweden to conduct homosexual “marriage” ceremonies, reports the Catholic News Agency. In a joint statement Catholic and Orthodox church officials expressed “sadness” upon learning “about the decision by the synod of the Church of Sweden,” which is the largest religious organization in the country. “In our churches and communities, we will not unite homosexual couples since it is in complete contradiction with the tradition of the church […]
