Gays disrupt hearings in Brazilian Congress on psychological treatment for homosexuality

BRASILIA, BRAZIL, June 29, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Homosexual activists disrupted a hearing on Thursday in Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies on proposed legislation to permit psychologists to treat homosexuals who wish to change their orientation, an activity currently prohibited by the country’s Federal Council of Psychology (CFP).

Obama Science Czar Envisioned “Planetary Regime” of Forced Abortion and Sterilization Program in Boo by LifeSiteNews.com By Peter J. Smith WASHINGTON, D.C., July 13, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Although President Obama’s choice for science czar received unanimous approval from the US Senate in March, little mention has been made of Harvard professor John Holdren’s career as a self-avowed “neo-Malthusian.” In that capacity Holdren has advocated compulsory population control in America, including forced abortion and the addition of sterilizing agents to drinking water, and the creation of what he literally called a “Planetary Regime” that would enforce such a program worldwide.

Triggers versus trauma

In the face of our cross country abortion debate game-changer, The New Abortion Caravan, abortion advocates finally got something right: our campaign is a trigger to a trauma, but not a trauma in and of itself.  In a Facebook message by the pro-abortion group “Radical Handmaids,” their post of news coverage of our project was prefaced with this: “TRIGGER WARNING.” Indeed, our images are a trigger, but just that—a trigger, a reminder. And lots of things act as a reminder to one’s abortion.  When my sister was six months pregnant, she was a trigger for post-abortive women who, had they […]

Ontario Bill 13’s two shocks Thursday

Today has been a shocker for Ontario parents and pro-family leaders and activists, especially those involved with the province’s huge Catholic school system. One shock was the passage of the Liberal government’s mad Bill 13. That’s the forced gay normalization in all schools bill camouflaged as an “anti-bullying” bill, which is now even worse after last week’s committee hearing amendments were added. The pro-gay amendments were added even though over 80% of presenters at the hearings spoke against the bill. Click “like” if you want to defend true marriage. The bigger shock, which is leaving many Catholic parents reeling, is […]

Pro-life, pro-family Canadians having a particularly tough time right now

Pro-life, pro-family Canadians are having a particularly tough time right now. At the federal government level they have a “Conservative” Prime Minister who continues to be unreasonably determined to shut down all debate in Parliament that might in any way bring up the abortion or other similarly contentious social issues. Harper’s support is starting to decline as even his die-hard social conservative supporters are losing hope that this PM will drop his intransigence and his suppression of caucus members who dare to be true to their consciences and to God. The nation could be in danger of a deadly political […]
