LifeSite news reported on January 26, 1998 that Not Dead Yet was a “pro-life” group. However, Steven Drake, national organizer of the group has asked for a correction, noting that “Not Dead Yet is a SECULAR group of disability activists opposed to the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia.  We have ‘no’ position on abortion or the death penalty and our members (since we don’t ask them)  probably have positions on the latter two that cover every conceivable hue. Not Dead Yet’s opposition to assisted suicide and euthanasia is based on a disability rights perspective and an understanding of the […]

TORONTO, Jan 29 (LSN)—Pro-abortion groups announced yesterday the creation of a new fund fund to encourage more medical schools to teach abortion procedures.  Abortion advocates are blaming anti-abortion violence for the decline of doctors willing to do abortions and the unwillingness of medical students to undergo abortion training. Campaign Life Coalition insists that the real reason for this trend is the dramatic advances in fetology and ultrasound technology in recent years. Medical students and practicioners are now more aware than ever that abortion is indeed the taking of human life and therefore something to be avoided.  Half of Canada's medical […]

NEW YORK, Jan 29 (LSN) – Lawrence Lader, director of Abortion Rights Mobilization, which oversees manufacture and distribution of the abortion drug mifepristone (RU-486), complained to the media this week that access to RU-486 is restricted due to lack of producers and distributors. “Every major drug company turned it down. Big-name people won’t touch it,” said Lader. His small New York pro-abortion group arranged for surreptitious production of 10,000 doses of RU486 and is providing it to 11 doctors around the country as part of a research project.  Bernard Gore, a San Francisco-Oakland abortionist who is taking part in the […]

OTTAWA, Jan 28 (LSN)—While pro-lifers bemoan the horrific Supreme Court Decision removing even the remotest protection for the pre-born, Henry Morgentaler revels about the success of his morbid cause. “I take great personal satisfaction when I think back on that,” says Morgentaler. “It was a very stressful time for me. When I look back on the accomplishments, I’m very proud of myself.”  Morgentaler has even dreamt up advantages of abortion which would strech the imagination of most pro-aborts. He asserts that, “Fewer unwanted children are being born, therefore there are fewer young males that commit crimes that have rage and […]
