Abortion is in the news again – much to the chagrin of those who like to keep their baby-killing quiet, publicly-funded and beyond criticism. It is more than twenty years since the courts bowed to Henry Morgantaler and his followers and introduced the universal right to abortion in Canada, making this country unique in the democratic world in having no laws whatsoever to protect the life of an unborn child at any time during pregnancy.The pro-aborts already feel threatened - and they have all the reasons for that: they know that their moral relativism is powerless against the truth, that their myths (such as "one body") have no chance against facts and that their euphemisms are meaningless. Babies don't "choose" to die, and "reproductive health" in their understanding means - no reproduction and no health.
...In those two decades almost 2 million babies have been killed in what is supposed to be humanity’s safest place, the womb. It has also cost more than one billion public dollars, in that the taxpayer is obliged to finance this elective surgery. In that same period numerous necessary medical procedures have been de-funded by governments that would not dream of removing a penny from state funded abortion, no matter how wealthy the woman who demanded the procedure.
The last twenty years have also seen a curious twisting of the debate around the issue and a monumentally successful campaign to marginalize pro-life opinion. Politicians are told that to even discuss the policy would lose them votes – though polls repeatedly show Canadians as being divided on the subject – and opponents of abortion, whatever their views on other issues, are portrayed as wide-eyed zealots.
The debate is already going on. So let's step up our efforts so that it couldn't be ignored.
