"Once you have contraception and legalized or widespread abortion, birthrates fall; nations collapse; young people follow their parents in the abuse of sex; increasing numbers live together without the benefit of marriage," he said.
Click “like” if you are PRO-LIFE! Technology has revolutionized the way the world sees the unborn, opening a window in the womb that proves beyond a doubt the humanity of the preborn child. No wonder the abortionists will do anything to make sure that abortion-bound moms aren’t given access to that technology. A new video making the rounds shows twins in their mother’s womb pushing and shoving for space. The amazing video was captured on a cinematic-MRI while researchers at Imperial College London’s fetal care center were studying a rare blood disorder that can affect twin pregnancies. The video has […]
I have a lot of sympathy for the people who have been frightened into supporting the euthanasia movement, something that is very popular among the aging Boomer generation.
“The state is using its vast police powers to harass, persecute, and undermine one of its citizens to further an obvious political agenda,” his lawyers claim.
“OK, so I’m supposed to learn geometry from a lady who never graduated college and wasn’t smart enough to use condoms?” asked a spokesperson on CBC’s The Current.
The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition is seeking to intervene in the appeal of a B.C. court case that found Canada's law against assisted suicide unconstitutional.
Court cases for Linda Gibbons and Mary Wagner are slowly making their way through the courts as the two women separately face charges for recent incidents of pro-life activism. Gibbons actually has two streams of cases on the go.
To cut porn out of your life once you have welcomed it in is no easy thing: for many it requires hard work, constant vigilance, and sometimes-dramatic action.
"The assisted suicide lobby is doing everything possible to have EPC rejected as an intervener, even though we intervened at the lower court," said Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director of the EPC.

The mainstream media in Quebec is reporting that the development arm of the Canadian Bishops Conference is in crisis, possibly even on the brink of collapse.
In his senior year Eric Dompierre was almost barred from playing because he was 19 - past the legal age for high school football. But then the media got interested in his story.
It took three years of testing by a specialist at University College London to confirm that Alyce’s near-fatal experience was caused by her contraceptive pills.
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will allow abortion advocates to pressure the U.S. to liberalize its domestic abortion laws or policies governing foreign aid for family planning.
Only in Hollywood is conversion to Christianity compared to a drug-induced “meltdown.” Everybody’s now familiar with the news that the “half man” on CBS’s Two and a Half Men joined a Christian church in Alabama and released a video where he calls the sitcom “filth” and urges viewers to stop watching. As Matthew Archbold at Creative Minority Report put it, it appears the half man “is now a real man.” I don’t want to make any claims about the authenticity or longevity of Mr. Jones’ conversion, and I don’t know anything about the church he’s joined up with. I pray […]
In an interview with LifeSiteNews, the archbishop denied reports that the Costa Rican bishops have retreated on the issue of public school sex education.
The state may stomp on our freedoms; it may demolish our churches and ban our soapbox diatribes. But as long as the home remains unscathed, there’s still some last vestige of liberty.
Virtually Silent Film about Carthusian Monks a Surprise Hit in Germany by LifeSiteNews.com By Hilary White BERLIN, February 9, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A virtually silent film about silent monks in an ancient French monastery is proving a surprise hit with German audiences, the BBC reports. With no dialogue, no script or voiceover and only Gregorian chant as background music, Into Great Silence is an unusual documentary of the daily lives of the Carthusian monks of Le Grande Chartreuse. The Catholic Church’s most rigorous religious order, whose foundation originated in this extremely remote area high upon the French Alps back in […]
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released abortion statistics for calendar year 2009. The news was good for pro-lifers as the CDC statistics indicate the number of abortions decreased by approximately 5 percent between 2008 and 2009. Overall, the abortion rate has been declining fairly steadily since the early 1990s, but has leveled off somewhat during the current decade. Furthermore, some research indicates that the incidence of abortion increases when the economy slows down. As such, this reported decline in the abortion rate was somewhat unexpected. Unsurprisingly, most of the mainstream-media coverage of the abortion decline was quick […]
FOX News recently published an article entitled “The War on Men,” and its message seems to be gaining a lot of traction. The point of the article is a rather simple one: Men have been told to stop being men, women are surpassing them in education, salary, and career (making them feel inadequate), and because women have been “angry and defensive” a la Naomi Wolf, men feel displaced, aimless, and less inclined to marry. Consequently, many men have simply opted to take advantage of the Sexual Revolution and engage in recreational sex while generally abandoning marriage and ceding the ‘field […]
The Kwantlen Student Association said that the creation of Protectores Vitae “is clearly against our own standing policy on Abortion and a Woman’s Right to Choose.”
Obama’s “Safe Schools” Czar Dreamed of “Promoting Homosexuality” to Schoolchildren by LifeSiteNews.com By Alex Bush June 11, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Kevin Jennings, who was appointed by Obama to be the assistant deputy secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools inside the Department of Education, has always been interested in promoting the homosexualist agenda to schoolchildren. Jennings, cofounder and executive director of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), told attendees at a GLSEN conference over a decade ago that he looked forward to the day when promoting homosexuality in schools will be seen in a positive light.

Novak Fed Up with Vatican Newspaper: “We asked Rome for Bread they Give us Stones” by LifeSiteNews.com By Hilary White NEW YORK, May 26, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A recent string of “star struck teenage” articles praising US President Barack Obama by the Vatican daily newspaper is scandalizing Catholics around the world, according to a prominent American conservative commentator. Michael Novak, a US Catholic writer, philosopher and diplomat, wrote on the website of the National Review magazine today that the editors of L’Osservatore Romano have failed to grasp either “the full threat Obama poses for the American Catholic conscience” or the […]
HOMOSEXUALS DECLARE WAR ON BOY SCOUTS by LifeSiteNews.com UNITED STATES, Aug 23 (LifeSiteNews.com) – American homosexualist activists were probably not expecting to lose their battle against the Boy Scouts in the Supreme Court in June. Instead of abiding by the ruling, which allows the Boy Scouts of America to reject homosexuals as troop leaders, they have launched a grassroots battle against the organization, this despite the negative impression the campaign gives about the priority homosexuals place on access to children. At the recent Democrat National Convention, a group of Eagle Boy Scouts there to take part in opening ceremonies was […]
Eye-Witness Teacher Says Safe Schools Czar Present at “Fistgate” Conference by LifeSiteNews.com By Peter J .Smith BOSTON, December 14, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – New details on President Barack Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” Kevin Jennings have emerged, as an eye-witness has finally broken her silence and says that Jennings was present at Tufts University during the infamous “Fistgate” scandal, and says that he bears personal responsibility for the event. Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit reports that a Massachusetts teacher – who remains anonymous out of concern for herself and her family – told him that she saw Jennings in 2000 at the […]
Europe’s Most Popular Long-Term “Contraception” is Abortifacient IUD by LifeSiteNews.com By Hilary White ROME, October 30, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A recently released study has revealed that the abortifacient Intra-Uterine Device (IUD) and the hormone-releasing Intra-Uterine System (IUS) are the most popular forms of long-term birth control in Europe among the over-30s. Published in the European Journal Of Contraception And Reproductive Health Care, the study evaluates the use of long-acting reversible contraceptives, and notes that younger women who want children later do not use the long-term methods as much as older women. However, the study noted that 10 per cent of […]
The morning of her birth, when Mom and Dad returned home from the hospital, rather than the excitement of a new baby, they had empty arms and the duty of selecting a coffin and arranging a funeral.
Canadian Doctors Group Worried Palin Example Could Pressure Some Women to Not Abort Down’s Child by LifeSiteNews.com By Thaddeus M. Baklinski TORONTO, September 10, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – U.S. vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s loving and highly-publicized acceptance of her Down’s syndrome child Trig has at least one prominent Canadian doctor worried that her example may lead to mothers shunning abortion after diagnosis of Down’s syndrome. According to the Globe and Mail, Dr. Andre Lalonde, executive vice-president of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), is worried that Palin’s decision to give birth to Trig, despite knowing about his condition, […]
When asked if gay students should be "less identifiable," in the words of CBC, Schaffrick reportedly responded that “for their own benefit... it would be helpful.”
“We have to ask why the abortion-related deaths of 12 women are buried in the very last table of the report and unremarked on in the news,” said one pro-life leader.
In January of 2005, Mitu became pregnant. Upon hearing the news, her husband was initially very happy. Until he learned she was pregnant with twin girls.
The Church is “more easily persecuted” when she is divided by Catholic faithful who support “a major political party [with] intrinsic evils among its basic principles," says the papal nuncio.
You may think I’m setting you up for a spoof, but no. Planned Parenthood brings new meaning to the term, “Black Friday,” doesn’t it? [HT: reader Anne] Reprinted with permission from JillStanek.com
Once again, this year Planned Parenthood has tweeted out a link to their article “Talking Turkey,” which provides their fans with “8 Easy Steps for Discussing Reproductive Health and Justice at the Holiday Table.” It’s a pretty nauseating read, not least because of the fact that Planned Parenthood apparently can’t think of anything other than abortion and contraception in conjunction with Thanksgiving. But probably the most revealing part of the whole article is this little gem of advice: “Debating when life begins or whether or not abortion is federally funded may get you nowhere.” Instead of debating when life begins, […]
The province's Auditor General is calling for increased oversight of homeschooling families, saying the government “has no way of knowing ... whether all these children are being educated properly, or at all.”
Dear Friends of Priests for Life, I take this occasion to wish you and your family all the blessings of a Happy Thanksgiving. By my travels throughout the nation, I have visited so many of you in your homes and communities, and there are many more that I will visit as my travels continue. I wish I could visit with each of you personally again today, as we all thank the Lord for so many blessings. My Mass of Thanksgiving Day will be offered for you. In a particular way, we should thank the Lord today for the call to […]
Happy Thanksgiving! In total, Rich and I will celebrate the holiday three times by Saturday! Last weekend we combined business with pleasure, flying to Dallas to tape an episode of Life Dynamics’ Life Talk (more on that later) and then celebrating an early Thanksgiving with daughter Daena, son-in-law Andy, and baby Levi. Our time together was made even more special because Andy’s parents Peter and Michelle were also there, having flown to the U.S. on November 13. You will recall Andy is from New Zealand, and his mom and dad had never met Daena or their first grandson. So we […]
Catholic Diocese Sponsors Homosexual Youth Group that Accepts Sodomy, Cross-Dressing by LifeSiteNews.com By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman SALTILLO, Mexico, July 9,2008 (LifeSiteNews.com)- Bishop Raul Vera of the Diocese of Saltillo is sponsoring a homosexual youth group that accepts sodomy and cross-dressing, holds “Gay Pride” festivals, and openly affiliates itself with the pro-abortion group “Catholics for the Right to Decide”, LifeSiteNews has learned after an investigation of several months. Bishop Raul Vera, is reportedly aware of the group’s activities and approves them. Vera is also an open supporter of the State of Coahuila’s “civil union” legislation for homosexuals. The organization, called the […]
The report suggests “removing cost as one barrier to the use of the most effective contraceptive methods,” such as the IUD and Norplant, which induce abortion.
You know you’re on to something good when the liberal media starts begging you to shut up. “The abortion debate is over, so shut up,” declared The Province’s editorial board on Wednesday. Apparently they’re riled by the fact that some 20 pro-life petitions have been filed in the House of Commons since Member of Parliament Stephen Woodworth’s motion was rejected on September 26th. “Anti-abortionists need to get this through their skulls: the debate is over and you lost,” the editors write. “Women long ago won the right to have control over their bodies, and the choice about whether and when […]
Porn "so undermines your life, your walk with Christ and your beliefs," says Josh McDowell. "My fear is that many pastors are not addressing it because they're involved in it."
Schiavo Case Unpacked: Lies, Jesse Jackson, Aretha Franklin and “Terri-ism” by LifeSiteNews.com Special Commentary to LifeSiteNews.com by Anita Crane It’s easy to see why lies can be so tempting. For those intent on having things their own way regardless of the cost, lies are useful because they can injure and destroy people. They are especially useful when propagated by journalists; because under the guise of journalism, lies have an air of legitimacy, enabling them to influence untold millions. Michael Scherer broke Salon.com’s Dec. 7 story on Michael Schiavo’s project Terri PAC, the political action committee he formed “with the hope […]
Last week, a number of media outlets including Slate and the Huffington Post were eagerly promoting a new study about women who were denied abortions. Researchers at the University of California San Francisco are conducting a “turnaway” study where they track the experiences of women who were unable to obtain abortions due to gestational age of their unborn child. The preliminary results indicate that women who were denied abortions were more likely to be suffering from both stress and economic hardship than women who were able to obtain abortions. However, the mainstream media is missing several important details. Women were […]
Mark Regnerus’s response to his critics shows more clearly that instability is characteristic of same-sex relationships and that stable same-sex parented households are virtually non-existent.
Do the tragic deaths in Ireland of Savita Halappanavar and her pre-born daughter Prasa really make a case for legal abortion? Many across the world are coming to that conclusion but overlooking an important piece of information recently reported in The Irish Times and The Guardian: an autopsy revealed that Halappanavar died of septicaemia “documented ante-mortem” and E.coli ESBL. Countless news reports are only talking about the septicaemia (i.e., blood poisoning), but few are discussing E.coli ESBL, which, incidentally enough, can lead to, you guessed it, septicaemia. Just what is E. coli ESBL? An antibiotic-resistant bacteria (not to be confused […]
Organizers had teamed up with socialist groups and homosexuals who are opposed to gay "marriage," and religious expressions were banned from the event.
A nationwide rally drew an estimated 200,000 protesters in Paris according to organizers, with tens of thousands more attending rallies throughout the country.

Ballot Question 2 (assisted suicide) was defeated in Massachusetts on November 6 by a vote of 51.1% to 48.9%. This is a huge victory considering the fact that the polling in June 2012 indicated that 68% of the people in Massachusetts supported assisted suicide and only 19% opposed it. The assisted suicide referendum was defeated because there were many people who worked together to oppose assisted suicide from different perspectives. There were three main groups who opposed Question 2 and there were several others who influenced the outcome of the vote. The Committee Against Physician Assisted Suicide raised significant money. […]
Study Shows Canada’s Universal Daycare Plan Has “Strikingly Negative” Consequences by LifeSiteNews.com By Terry Vanderheyden TORONTO, February 2, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A newly released study of universal daycare as already offered in Quebec has revealed some serious dangers. The authors report, “We uncover striking evidence that children are worse off in a variety of behavioral and health dimensions, ranging from aggression to motor-social skills to illness,” according to a summary issued in December by the National Bureau of Economic Research. “We analyzed the impact of Quebec’s program on work choices, family functioning and children’s well-being and found some positive and […]
The tragic death of Savita has opened the floodgates of pro-abortion outrage. Facts don't matter. The only thing that matters is legalizing the killing of unborn children.
Fr. Lamoine told LifeSiteNew.coms that the final decision to delay confirmation was made by the boy himself -- and that his support for gay "marriage" would have precluded him from receiving the sacrament.
“A lot of the times people are told it’s just a blob of tissue," said Human Life International Regional Director of French-speaking Africa George Wirnkar.
“We send our kids to Catholic schools so that the teachings of our faith can be affirmed. Instead, we sadly find them being undermined," said Ottawa Catholic parent.
For the first time in its history, a UN agency has declared access to contraception “a human right” and calls on nations of the world to fight “cultural barriers,” as well as legal constraints, that cause women to forgo the use of birth control.
John Whitehead, founder of the Rutherford Institute, told LifeSiteNews, “For the government to use" the FACE Act "the way some agents are using it is illicit and wrong.”
Brian Rushfeldt, Executive Director of Canada Family Action, said he believes that mandatory kindergarten is nothing short of a state takeover of parenting.
Promoting “genderless parenting” contradicts what the facts show us both about the harms of single parenthood and the benefits of having a mom and a dad.
This week I’ll be making a return trip to speak at my alma mater, UBC. This upcoming engagement has brought to mind an encounter I had with a philosophy and pre-law student at that same campus just a few months ago. The young woman was justifying abortion from the perspective of abortion advocate Judith Jarvis Thompson who argues that even if the pre-born are human persons, they do not have a right to use another person’s body without consent. Given that this argument continues to be raised by some who support abortion, I thought it would be helpful to create […]
With the US election consuming everyone's attention October 29 - Nov. 6, some dramatic LifeSiteNews stories have not yet received the attention they deserve. They are must reads. The accompanying videos are exceptional and should be shown at all pro-life, pro-family meetings.
The photojournalist behind a documentary on a Christian organization that drills wells for the poorest of the poor in Guatamala says he is “grateful” after LifeSiteNews (LSN) financially supported his documentary.
I’ve been there. Not Todd Akin. Not Richard Mourdock. And certainly not their critics who sanctimoniously imagine that they know what pregnant sexual assault victims really want and need.
Apparently, hysterical tears and anthropomorphic reproductive organs have taken the continent by storm. I didn’t understand it in 2008, and I don’t understand it now.
Funny how when you start denying reality you end up getting yourself all twisted up on logic and language. If you deny that the unborn child is a person, you call the child a fetus. But at what point does a fetus become a baby? Can you justify calling a child at 8-months gestation a fetus while you call one born a month premature a baby? And if you hold, as Canada’s Criminal Code does, that the child only becomes a baby once it has proceeded from its mother’s womb in a living state, what do you call a dead […]
Pro-homosexual and pro-abortion groups are vehemently opposing the nomination of a pro-life Catholic as the new EU Health and Consumer Protection Commissioner.
Pence Amendment Fails, House Votes to Increase Tax Dollars for Planned Parenthood by LifeSiteNews.com By Kathleen Gilbert and Peter J. Smith WASHINGTON, D.C., July 24, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – After unexpectedly passing the House Rules committee late yesterday, an amendment introduced by Congressman Mike Pence to strip Planned Parenthood of its taxpayer funding under Health and Human Services “family planning” (or Title X) funds, has failed. Today the House of Representatives rejected the Pence Amendment to defund Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, by a vote of 183 to 247. Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) had submitted the amendment to an […]
Those who care about women and girls must continue to press with persistence until forced abortion and gendercide are eradicated from the face of the earth.
“When you look at the disproportionate number of black babies...killed by abortion, obviously, it’s a failure in public policy, but it’s a failure within our communities," said Rep. White.
It’s no secret that abortion supporters use language in curious ways. A “baby” becomes a “fetus” or a “blob of tissue” or the “products of pregnancy” and then back to a “baby” in the blink of an eye. One of the best examples of this is found in the book What to Expect When You’re Expecting. On pages 42 and 43 we find information about prenatal diagnosis and we are told that in case of fetal abnormalities there are two options: to continue the pregnancy or to terminate the pregnancy. Oddly, however, in the paragraph about continuing the pregnancy, we […]
In a statement published in 30 languages, Vatican spokesman Fr. Lombardi said that under gay "marriage," there is no reason not to legalize polygamy and polyandry.
The Elliott Institute has just published a powerful article titled ‘My Rape Pregnancy and My Furor Over Social Myths’ by Deana Schroeder, a member of the Ad Hoc Committee of Women Pregnant By Sexual Assault (WPSA). She recounts the story of being drugged and raped at 17 and then, after becoming pregnant, being persuaded to have an abortion by family, counsellors and doctors who ‘intended the best’ and ‘wanted to help’. But the result was to add ‘more layers of trauma, self-doubt, grief and guilt’ to the trauma of the rape itself. Schroeder argues that ‘they had total confidence in […]
Following the results of last week’s election, here comes the inevitable renewed call to oust pro-life principles from the Republican Party platform. I almost want to tell the GOP to go ahead. Are pundits really that stupid? Never mind the 2012 Gallup poll, which showed the percentage of pro-”choice” Americans at a historic low… Do Republicans really want to compete with Democrats for the 41%, leaving the 50% to wander off to a third party? This would be our only option. The real problem for the GOP establishment is its players fall into one of three camps: terrified of the […]
My mother died on Sunday, 28th of October. She was 90, and had been completely dependent for 18 months. By progressive standards, her life was completely useless.
Russian Demographic Situation Worsening – Abortions Outstrip Births by LifeSiteNews.com MOSCOW, August 24, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Financial pressures are pushing Russian women to abortion at a much higher rate than was previously thought. For the first time, Russian abortions have exceeded births and the rate shows no sign of slowing in the perennially unstable Russian economy. The economic situation for most in Russia is dire, and, says Vladimir Kulakov, vice president of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the birth of a first child can push young couples into poverty. With a population half the size of the US, in […]
Third “Window of Life” for Unwanted Babies Inaugurated in Poland by LifeSiteNews.com By Thaddeus M. Baklinski CZESTOCHOWA, Poland, January 14, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The “Window of Life of Blessed Edmund Bojanowski” was inaugurated in the city of Czestochowa during the Feast of the Holy Family of Nazareth last week, by Archbishop Stanislaw Nowak. The “Window of Life” is a place where mothers who do not want to or cannot provide for their children, can anonymously and safely bring newborns in order for them to be cared for and placed for adoption. The window established in Czestochowa, in the convent of […]

Louisiana Ultrasound Law Challenged in Federal Court by LifeSiteNews.com By Peter J. Smith BATON ROUGE, Louisiana, August 9, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pro-abortion advocates have filed suit in federal court against the state of Louisiana over the “Ultrasound before Abortion Act” signed last month into law by Gov. Bobby Jindal. The law requires abortionists to perform an ultrasound on a woman at least two hours before she undergoes the induced abortion of her child, and before she is put under any kind of anesthesia. Abortion facility employees must also follow a detailed script prescribed by law, offering pregnant mothers the opportunity […]
I’ve previewed the first episode, and this show is a going to be ground-breaking. A description: Surrender the Secret is a new reality television series that will premiere on Knock TV beginning January 22, 2013, on the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. A description: Surrender the Secret tells the real-life abortion stories of 5 women, and follows them as they go through post-abortion recovery. Together, these brave women embark upon a healing journey using an 8 session bible study specifically written for women who have had an abortion. See how they work through different healing exercises which help them […]
I feel God pulling at my heart stings to tell the truth about abortion. I want to reach those who feel they have no other choice than their “right to choose.”
Fr. Michael Tegeder said Archbishop Nienstedt should “prayerfully consider stepping down from his office” for defending his Church's teachings on the family.
If you want to see who the real extremist is, Ann Coulter, come on Fox News with me, look me in the eyes and tell me how you think my birthmother should have been able to abort me.
America's re-election of a virulently pro-abortion president will resound internationally, not least of which in America’s closest ally and cultural counterpart.
The controversial Canadian bill has been dubbed the “bathroom bill” by critics, who say it would give men a legal alibi to use women’s bathrooms and showers.
Cardinal Sean O'Malley said, "for our brothers and sisters confronted with terminal illness, we can do better than offering them the means to end their lives.”
“This is a big day for gay women in America, and...all communities who aren't the typical straight, white, wealthy men elected to Congress," said a lesbian activist.
Well, hey now, there’s still a bit of justice in the land. In 2005 pro-life activist Steven Lefemine, pictured right, sued the police department of Greenwood County, South Carolina, for stopping he and his band of 20 pro-life activists with Columbia Christians for Life from displaying graphic images of abortion at a busy intersection. Police maintained the group was creating a disturbance after receiving several complaints. When police threatened him again at another protest, Lefamine sued in 2008 on the basis that his First Amendment right to free speech was being violated. Lefamine won his case in federal district court. […]
Attempting to convince students that anyone who judges someone because they are sexually promiscuous is bad, this “Sextra Credit” video portrays being a slut as a very desirable thing.
A Conservative Party MP has accused the government's Charity Commission of attempting to suppress Christianity after the group denied charitable status to the Plymouth Brethren, telling the Brethren that their religion is "not necessarily for the public good".
So what made it possible for tyrant Obama to get re-elected despite overwhelming evidence that he is a danger to the nation? For what it's worth, the following is my opinion.
Redefining marriage will “reduce” marriage to being only for “sexually-intimate companionship,” disconnecting the institution from its biological and societal functions, argues Julian Rivers.
Dear pro-lifers, don’t give into a spirit of surrender and defeat. Let the results of last night give us courage to become bolder in our advocacy for the unborn.
He was 47. The other man was 41. The latter man would go on to live for 53 more years, because of the former man who went on to live for only a couple more weeks. Maximilian and Franciszek faced a brutal situation reflecting man’s inhumanity to man, but it was soon redeemed as a moment reflecting man’s humanity to man, all because of a choice. In July 1941, both Maximilian and Franciszek were prisoners in Auschwitz I. One of their inmates disappeared and the Nazis sought to retaliate by selecting 10 men to face death by starvation to deter […]
I have two huge pet peeves about the way politicians, commentators, and people in general talk about abortion in the public sphere. Well, actually a lot more than two, but two that have bothered me recently and often. First, politicians seem to have a habit of saying things like, “I believe life begins at conception” or “I believe abortion kills a baby and is wrong.” You’re probably thinking, What’s wrong with that? Sounds good to me! The problem with this is that those two statements are not a matter of subjective belief. They are scientific fact. I don’t really care […]
I wished to myself when I woke up this morning that we had a prophet like Isaiah to help us understand what is happening. Then, of course, I realized we do have Isaiah. And we have history. We have the cycle of the Israelites to teach us, and the cycles of great human civilizations. Ancient cultures like Egypt, Rome, and Greece all eventually collapsed because the people gave themselves over to idolatry and sexual debauchery. Among followers of the God of the Bible there may be a similar cycle, but there is always a remnant that holds fast to Him, […]
IVF Technique May Pass on Genetic Defects to Children by LifeSiteNews.com By Thaddeus M. Baklinski SAN DIEGO, California, March 1, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An advanced form of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment is being overused and may pass on infertility and other genetic defects to the next generation, the doctor who pioneered the technique has warned. The method, called ‘Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)’ involves injecting a single sperm cell directly through the wall of the egg and depositing it inside. However, abnormal sperm, that would normally fail to penetrate the egg, can fertilize the egg because of this procedure, thus increasing […]
Congratulations to the: Committee Against Physician Assisted Suicide, Second Thoughts and No on Question 2 for defeating the assisted suicide ballot Question 2 in Massachusetts.

John Kelly, from Second Thoughts was always focused, Rasky and Thomas Dwyer, Ann Fox and everyone who worked to defeat Question 2. The success of this campaign was achieved through the many perspectives that were represented in opposition to assisted suicide (Question […]
The most pro-abortion president in American history has won re-election 2012 election. Barack Obama hit the magic 270 electoral votes mark not much past 11 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday. Though pro-lifers are disappointed, grieved and even angry, we must remember that our call to LIFE and prayer has never changed. This isn’t a time to spew negativity or fight with natural weapons. Never have we needed to pray as we do in this critical hour. No man is our answer apart from Jesus, and He wasn’t the least bit surprised. Before the foundation of the world, He knew we’d re-elect […]
“Our work to defend the lives of the most vulnerable and to promote human dignity is not dependent on an election,” said Live Action President Lila Rose.
Desperate to win their first statewide victory with voters, homosexual activists have outspent supporters of traditional marriage in every state where the issue appears on the ballot.
Homosexual activists hope that President Obama’s recent endorsement of same-sex "marriage" will influence voters to support gay nuptials in a statewide vote, a victory they have yet to win.
When discussing the candidates and the issues at stake with your family and friends, there are five things that you should make sure they know about President Barack Obama.
I just, like everyone else in the pro-life movement, am possessed of a sick, twisted, pathological desire to stop people from having fun, carefree, no-consequences sex because I am mean and hate everybody.
A rereleased video from 2007 that shows a clearly incensed Mitt Romney giving Iowa Newsradio WHO talk show host Jan Mickelsons an off-air piece of his mind has “become a viral sensation,” garnering over 1.8 million hits in just five days. Romney, then a presidential candidate in the 2008 election cycle, took offense to questions during the interview about his Mormon faith and converting from pro-abortion to pro-life. Headlines since yesterday are focused on how “testy” Romney became about the tenets of Mormonism. My take-away was, “Wow, this guy is passionately pro-life”…. Romney later said he did not know he […]
MPP Glen Murray and former Education Minister Kathleen Wynne are the only two persons so far who have announced their intention to run for the leadership of the Liberal Party to replace Dalton McGuinty.
The radical lobby group Stonewall is facing criticism over the award from the government and major corporate backers are threatening to withdraw support.
News reports are noting only one item of interest from President Obama’s campaign stop in Cincinnati yesterday, one of the “precious few” he has left before tomorrow, Election Day. And that is a pro-life heckler who “totally hijacked” the rally, followed by another. As a result, “Barack Obama was totally thrown off his game.” No justice, no peace. Let that reminder of the gravity of this election stick in the minds of voters going to the polls tomorrow.

Last Monday, David Frum wrote an essay for CNN.com titled “Let’s Get Real About Abortions.” Frum chides pro-lifers for placing too much emphasis on legally restricting abortion while neglecting the material needs of women facing crisis pregnancies. Frum does not favor banning abortion and his concerns about the state of the modern conservative movement in the United States are well documented. However, it is still disheartening to see a conservative commentator spout tired liberal talking points about how generous social programs are an effective strategy for reducing the abortion rate. Now Frum is correct that the incidence of abortion is […]

Champagne socialist full of bubbles: Maurice Strong profits from pushing leftist ideas by LifeSiteNews.com By Lorne Gunter Friday 18 July 2003 “Economic growth is not the cure; it is the disease.” That is Maurice Strong’s take on what is wrong with the world, today, and what is the greatest threat to the environment. Everything that is wrong can, in Strong’s mind, be traced to three sources—industrialization, wealth and free markets. I’d add a fourth—Christianity—except Strong never quite comes out and blames it for the world’s ills. He merely hints at it with statements such as “We are all gods now, […]
