As a result, abortion is legal throughout all nine of pregnancy for any or no reason at all.

If you want to know how low the human race can go, go to youtube and watch the soul-shaking video of the little Chinese toddler Wang Yue being run over and then ignored as she lie bleeding the street. If you want answers as to how human beings can become so calous, so indifferent, so oblivious to the value of human life, you will need to do more than just click on a few websites. Some observers

Recently, a Kelowna radio show host discussed (or more accurately, strenuously advocated for) the effort on the part of the BC Liberties Association to challenge Canada’s legal restrictions on physician assisted suicide (PAS). During his show, he made a comment that was truly unsettling. After he described those who would qualify as candidates for assisted suicide, a caller mentioned the

The grisly events that were uncovered with the arrest of a Philadelphia “doctor” and 9 others (including his wife) ought to serve as a stark wake up call for all of us. Dr. Kermit Gosnell was arrested and charged with 8 counts of murder for practicing his rather unique method of abortion. Gosnell would induce labour in women who were 6-8 months pregnant, deliver their babies alive, and then

A letter to the editor that appeared in our local paper asked whether or not churches are relevant in today's social/political landscape. You can read the letter here and I offer my response below:By Marlon BartramI'm sure religion and church still play very important roles in lives of many people on an individual level, but as a force in society I would have to say it has indeed lost relevance.

How many times can one man be let down before you call him a fool? For years, social conservatives across Canada have supported Prime Minister Harper, all the while hoping that the other side is right and he does have a “hidden agenda” to advance pro life legislation and restrict the practice of child-killing in Canada. Well if he does have such an agenda, he is doing a great job of keeping it

There they were. Huddled away in the darkness, invisible to the rest of the world, completely dependent on another for survival. They relied on a long cord to provide them food and other necessities for life. Contrasted against the immenseness of the universe, even the Earth itself, they could be described as tiny, very tiny, even just small "masses of cells" or "clumps of tissue." Some of them

Killing GirlsA Harrowing Look at Abortion in Russia. Marlon BartramAfter viewing Killing Girls, an 80 minute documentary on abortion in Russia that follows the pregnancy experiences of 3 young women, one comes away with the sense that they have just witnessed an important film indeed. Director David Kinsella and the rest of his crew display obvious talent for film-making, presenting a dark

We have all heard of schools closing around BC (176 in the past 9 years according to the BC Teachers’ Federation) and school districts having to slash jobs and services in order to meet their budgets. Most recently, our own SD 23 announced that as many as 45 jobs will need to be trimmed in order to balance the books. The blame has been pinned on various things including insufficient budgets,

While in the Government Liquor Store at Mission Park, Kelowna I came across the publication entitled Pregnant? Did you know that alcohol can hurt your baby? With interest, I helped myself to a copy. I took note that the pamphlet is endorsed by “[t]he doctors, nurses, and midwives of BC”; more specifically, the BC Women’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. After reading through

In America, states that permit the death penalty will not execute a pregnant woman who has been sentenced to death. In states that have unborn victims of violence legislation, a killer of a pregnant woman can face two murder charges instead of just one. At the federal level, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 makes it a separate crime to injure or kill a fetus during an attack on a

Inspirational, moving, profound. Just a few adjectives that can be used to describe the 10th annual March for Life in Ottawa Ontario. An incredibly high percentage of youthful participants chanted "we are pro life, mighty mighty pro life" and "hey, ho, abortion's got to go" through the streets of downtown Ottawa. Father Frank Pavone and several Canadian MPs gave invigorating speeches during the

The U.S. Supreme Court decision to uphold the Partial Birth Abortion Act of 2003 is being hailed as a major pro-life victory across America, and even celebrated by those in the pro-life movement here in Canada.In reality, however, all the decision really does is prohibit one particular method of killing 2nd and 3rd trimester foetuses. That is, it is now illegal to pull an unborn infant from her

Perhaps the most definitive aspect of our national health program is that only those medical procedures deemed to be necessary are paid for with public funds. Conversly, all procedures that are "choices", or elective, are to paid for by the individual seeking that procedure. The most obvious examples to come to mind are body-enhancing procedures such as breast implants and other plastic surgeries
