Emails reveal hurdles for patients seeking assisted deaths at faith-based facilities

Since when has it been considered mandatory that every hospital provides every medical procedure that a patient demands? This is really little more than an attempt by the promoters of M.A.I.D. to force faith-based institutions to provide procedures that conflict with the values upon which they have been founded and operated.

How the Canada Summer Jobs program became a freedom-of-religion controversy

There’s an article published on the National Post website that supplies a ‘play-by-play’ analysis of how we have come to the situation which led to my recent foray into the public forum. I bring to your attention the paragraph posted below this commentary. It should explain why I decided we had nothing to lose by my speaking out. When I read  ‘(N)o such organization will receive funding from any constituencies represented by Liberal MPs.’ , there really was no other option. Who knew that we would be punished for voting in a member of the government’s party in the last election?

Trudeau Doubles Down On His Commitment To End Funding For Pro Life Groups

I use the phrase “so-called” because, despite the common erroneous media narrative on this issue, if you look closely at the Supreme Court’s landmark decision, as laid out in  R. v Morgentaler,  you will see that   none  of the seven judges found that there was a constitutional right to abortion during all the nine months of pregnancy. That’s right. You read that correctly.  Zero out of the seven Supreme Court Justices concluded that on demand, unrestricted abortion was a constitutional right.
