TEEN ABORTIONS IN CALGARY SKYROCKET

CALGARY, July 24 (LSN) The number of abortions in Canada continues to rise with the country’s wide open abortion regime, especially among the most vulernable age group — teenagers. Even in supposedly conservative Calgary the number of abortions committed on teenagers has skyrocketed over the past decade,  reports the Calgary Regional Health Authority. The latest statistics show a doubling in the figure since the beginning of the decade: in 1997, 809 teenaged girls were aborted; in 1990 the number was 431. The total number of teens who had abortions last year in Canada is estimated at 21,000 — the highest annual number during the past two decades.  Michael O’Malley, president of Alberta’s Human Life Centre, responded to the figures with concern for the large number of women he sees who suffer from post-abortion syndrome, many of whom were pressured into procuring the abortion and who were deceived about the nature of the child they were killing. “It’s a guilt and a grieving that never goes away,” he said. “There are always reminders because everywhere you look there are children in the world.” Abortions are committed at two locations in Calgary: a hospital at the Peter Lougheed Centre and a private, freestanding abortuary, the Kensington Clinic, which opened in 1991.
