Vancouver, February 7, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Dr. Dave Hepburn is a regular weekly columnist in Vancouver’s Province newspaper, a fairly large circulation newspaper by Canadian standards. In his Jan. 22 column, “When I was a fetus, I loved dill pickle ice cream”, the B.C. Physician penned a pro-life question and answer format on some of the most common misunderstandings about abortion. In Canada’s mainstream media, the presentation of such balance to the establishment media hostility to anything pro-life is almost unheard of.
Hepburn doesn’t hammer his readers with his views but instead tries to take them where they are and even add a little humour to his education piece. There is of course nothing remotely humorous about abortion but the journalist/public speaker physician adds some attractive twists to his presentation that might just be the thing to get Canada’s heavily propagandized public to at least develop a more open and fair mind on the issue.
Canada’s pro-life movement leaders have for decades emphasized thatÂa fair hearing in the media is all that they want or need. Then, as Dr. Dave indicates, the public can make up their own minds about exactly what they want to believe. So far, most Canadians haven’t been able to do that because they have been denied a fair and accurate presentation of the pro-life side by Canada’s media and by most of the educational and government institutions of the land.
