Hearing Held on Pro-Life Intervention in Morgentaler Lawsuit against NB

April 9th, 2004 Court of the Queen's Bench denied Coalition for Life and Health intervenor status, more information to follow in next update.


Yesterday Judge David Russell, of the Court of Queen’s Bench in Fredericton, heard the application of the Coalition for Life and Health to participate in the case of Morgentaler vs. New Brunswick. Morgentaler is suing over the province’s refusal to fund abortions at his Fredericton facility.

David McMath represented the Coalition, which encompasses a number of provincial and national organizations including NB Right to Life, Focus on the Family and the Catholic diocese of Saint John. Anne Derrick, representing Henry Morgentaler, argued against the application. Nancy Forbes, representing the Attorney-General of New Brunswick, took no position.

Judge Russell reserved judgment on the application. There is no deadline for his judgement. Coalition coordinator Peter Ryan said, "Our best guess is that likely we will have the judgement within a month. I am hopeful that we will be accepted as an intervenor."

Among the evidence the Coalition wants to use is testimony from 47 Canadian women who have had abortions, including 9 from New Brunswick. Of the 47, 5 have had a total of 11 abortions at Morgentaler facilities.

The Coalition believes the case could be a watershed with respect to Canadian abortion rights. It considers Morgentaler’s lawsuit as a vehicle for establishing a constitutional right to public-funded abortion on demand.

"At the heart of Mr. Morgentaler’s position is a glaring contradiction, says its coordinator Peter Ryan. "On the one hand he says abortion is a matter of choice, which suggests it is an elective rather than medical necessity. But then he argues ending any unwanted pregnancy is indeed a medical necessity, so he can access public funding that is not available for electives."

“A Pro-Family, Pro-Life Citizen’s Political Duty”

I was having a friendly political discussion with someone in my former place of work. My colleague, I thought, took a position of standing for true Christian principles, so I was surprised when he told me what party he had voted for, or was going to vote for. I said, “But that party is pro-abortion,” My colleague said, “That’s doesn't’t affect me.” (That was the substance of our discussion.) The party I was referring to was (and is) aggressively pro-abortion. I was disturbed that my friendly colleague did not acknowledge a political duty higher than looking after his own interests.

In Canada right now a new party is forming. The new Conservative Party as yet is essentially unformed. Its positions will be determined by the make-up of the party members. Prospective candidates at the local and national level are in the process of signing up as many supporters as possible. BC Parents and Teachers for Life does not endorse the new Conservative Party or any other. But for those who see an opportunity to preserve a place for social conservatives in this party, and who are members or plan to become members, it is going to be very important that they get out and vote knowledgeably for local candidates who support pro-family, pro-life views. In selecting a national leader, it is also going to be very important that they support someone who will stand up for their values and for social conservatism in that party. One candidate for the Party’s national leadership has already declared in no uncertain terms that she supports “gay marriage” and is known for being “pro-choice” (pro-abortion). In this writer’s opinion, we need to question any local candidate’s commitment to sound principles if he or she supports Belinda Stronach. This does not mean that we should attack a candidate personally. His or her personal morals may be impeccable, but if the candidate does not, in practice, acknowledge the importance of sound public principles, we need to look for someone else.

Not all of our readers feel that the new Conservative Party is one they should support, but the principle that this article is intended to enunciate is this:
If we are going to vote, whether for a candidate seeking a nomination, or in the next national election, we need to be sure that we are giving prime importance to that candidate’s positions on public moral issues. The positions taken by our representatives and their willingness to stand up for moral principles will affect our children and children’s children, and the welfare of our whole nation.

Study Claiming No Link between Abortion and Breast Cancer "Corrupt, Biased and Horrible"

LONDON, March 26, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A study published in the Lancet Journal Friday suggests there is no link between abortion and breast cancer. "What we can truly rule out is an increased risk (of breast cancer)" said Dr. Valerie Beral the co-author of the study which purportedly examined 53 studies in 16 countries. However, Dr. Joel Brind, a foremost expert on the topic told LifeSiteNews.com that the study published in Lancet is easily refuted.

Dr. Brind, a professor at Baruch College, spoke with LifeSiteNews.com about the Beral study saying it was "very badly done" and "very vulnerable." Beral, a professor at Oxford, has for years focused research on attempting to deny a link between abortion and breast cancer.

Dr. Brind explained that the researchers excluded studies which did not suit their agenda which was to deny any link between breast cancer and abortion. For example, said Dr. Brind, "they excluded studies in some cases saying that the original authors could not be located." Following that logic, said Dr. Brind, "We ought to consider going back to assuming that the sun revolves around the earth since it sure looks like that to me, and we have looked all around the university of Krakow in Poland and we cannot locate Dr. Copernicus so we should throw out his data."

While the study claimed to use better studies only and exclude what it deemed unreliable studies it failed to provide a compelling reason for denying the validity of the rejected studies. Karen Malec of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer explained, that Beral rejected studies using women's self-reports of abortion histories (retrospective studies) based on a theoretical problem called "report bias". The theory, which several scientific teams have debunked, declared that healthy women lie about their abortions more often than do breast cancer patients. Conveniently for Beral, rejecting retrospective studies allowed her to eliminate 28 major studies, all of which report risk elevations among women who choose abortions.

Brind told LifeSiteNews.com that the Beral team, even when it did calculate retrospective studies, used a biased selection process for studies, eliminating many studies showing strong links between abortion and breast cancer, but at the same time violating their own selection criteria to include studies, even unpublished (therefore not peer reviewed) studies showing no link.

Overall, said Brind, the Beral study is "a horrible piece of work." Brind told LifeSiteNews.com he would be submitting a letter to the editor of the Lancet pointing out the "very misleading" aspects of the study.

Hundreds of newspaper articles around the world trumpeted the study, but Brind wondered how much coverage would be given to his letter debunking it.

Campaign Life Coalition list Abortion Statistics for Nova Scotia Year 2002

The number of abortion in Nova Scotia paid for by the taxpayers has fallen to a six year low of 1,874. The decline may well be a reflection of decreased population of women of child bearing age. To be noted also from the statistics is the closing gap between live births and deaths. It has been predicted that the year 2004 will be the year when they will cancel out.

Census Bureau: World Population Slowing to Dangerous Levels

A report released Monday by the Census Bureau shows that world population growth is slowing to dangerous levels. In its report, "Global Population Profile: 2002," the Census Bureau notes that the 74 million people added to the world's population in 2002 were significantly fewer than the high of 87 million people added in 1989. The growth rate was a meager 1.2 percent, down from the high of 2.2 percent in 1963.Ê Census Bureau projections suggest that the level of fertility will drop below replacement level before 2050. "It's time for the population control movement to call off the dogs," responded Steven Mosher, president of Population Research Institute (PRI).Ê "The population explosion it predicted never happened. "As birth rates fall into the cellar, it's time for the U.S. government to stop spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars each year on programs designed to lower the number of babies born even further," said Mosher.

Patients in the vegetative state are always human

In a definitive statement on the treatment of patients described as being in a persistent vegetative state, Pope John Paul II said medical personnel "cannot ethically justify abandoning or interrupting basic care, including food and hydration, of a patient." The pontiff said such a death by starvation and dehydration "is truly euthanasia by omission."

Important News from the Coalition on Abortion-Breast Cancer

Dear Friends:

Research being published in the British journal The Lancet on Friday
purportedly examined 53 studies in 16 countries on the abortion-breast
cancer link. Studies using women's self-reports of abortion histories
(retrospective studies) were said to be corrupted. Why? Scientists
declared that healthy women lie about their abortions more often than do
breast cancer patients. This is a theoretical problem called "report bias"
which several teams have shown does not exist. It just so happens that there
are 28 retrospective studies, all of which report risk elevations among
women who choose abortions.

I'm providing an article about the latest National Cancer Institute study,
Mahue-Giangreco et al. 2003. The article shoots down report bias theory and
provides a far more reasonable theory.

Scientists are "cooking the books" in order to disparage the abortion-breast
cancer link. Their efforts are not only grossly unethical, but they're also
anti-woman.

Sincerely,
Karen Malec,
Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer www.AbortionBreastCancer.com


ABORTION-BREAST CANCER NEWS HEADLINES

For 13 years, the abortion industry and its supporters in government,
science and medicine have used a phantom theory called "report bias" to
dismiss over two dozen epidemiological studies supporting abortion as one of
the causes of breast cancer. They've done this even though the explanation
for the abortion-breast cancer (ABC) link makes good biological sense and no
scientist dares to challenge it.

One study reporting a link between abortion and the disease used medical
records - not women's reports of abortion histories - for its data. That
ruled out any chance of report bias. Its researchers found a statistically
significant 90% risk elevation among New York State women procuring
abortions. [1] Even so, abortion supporters in the cancer fundraising
business maintained that the ABC research was invalid. Why?

Twenty-eight studies used women's reports of their abortion histories.
Cancer fundraising businesses claimed that women's reports are unreliable.
What they were saying was that women agree to join studies exploring the ABC
link, but then they decide to lie about their abortion histories. The
cancer establishment has offered varying explanations why 28 studies found
that breast cancer patients are more likely than healthy women to have had
abortions.

Promiscuous Plague

Author: Karen Testerman
Source: The World and I
Date: 2004-03-20


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are the single greatest health threat affecting our youth. A girl is four times more likely to contract an STD than she is to become pregnant, and a young mother has on average 2.3 STDs.

We are facing a plague of massive proportions, a plague made more sinister because it attacks not only adults but our youth. What is this crisis? It is a pandemic of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that is encouraged by a message of "safe sex" and an adult population that acts as if self-control and traditional morality are outdated and without value.

Society focuses on the increase in out-of-wedlock and teen births. Meanwhile STDs tear through our youth and adult population at alarming and deadly rates. Pregnancy is seldom fatal (except for aborted babies), but the STDs of today are. They are "not your father's" STDs, which were few and easily cured with penicillin (see sidebar).

In the 1960s, syphilis and gonorrhea were the two most prevalent STDs; today, there are more than 20 and some have as many as 80--100 strains. Despite the fitting publicity that the deadly epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune disorder syndrome (HIV/AIDS) commands, according to research at the University of New Mexico, human papilloma virus (HPV), not HIV, is the most common STD transmitted today.

What is the magnitude of the problem? According to recent testimony before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, "Three to four million STDs are contracted yearly by 15- to 19-year-olds, and another five to six million STDs are contracted annually by 20- to 24-year-olds."

Perhaps the most tragic aspect of this plague is the role adults play in it. Failures by grown-ups are the primary cause of the pandemic among our youth. Adults are failing our children by promoting a fatal message about sex: both in education and in actions. Youth are allowed to believe that there is such a thing as safe sex outside of marriage and that any sexual practice is acceptable as long as the participants are smiling.

Marketing sex

Billboards, TV, magazines, movies, and catalogs promote the message that sex is the way to be cool, to fit in, to solve life's challenges. Today, the initial onset of sexual activity is occurring at younger ages, while couples delay the decision to marry or prefer cohabitation. Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician and author of Epidemic: How Teen Sex Is Killing Our Kids, reports that half of all students in the ninth through twelfth grades have had sexual intercourse. Additionally, the average age for the onset of puberty in girls has dropped from 12 to 10.

There are physical and emotional consequences of engaging in sexual activity outside of marriage. Unwed childbearing costs American taxpayers $29 billion a year in social services, lost tax revenue, and the consequences of delinquency and poverty among teenage parents. These teens will enter adulthood disadvantaged and will convey this disadvantage to their children.

In 1960, 15 percent of teen births in the United States were out-of-wedlock. More recently, despite the reduction in teen pregnancy, the out-of-wedlock birthrate was 78 percent among teens, according to the National Center for Health Statistics (2000).

Meanwhile, the No. 1 indicator of poverty in our nation is single-parent households among 15- to 19-year-olds. Ninety percent of these young people will never attend college. Eighty percent of women who choose to parent while they are teens will live at the poverty level for 10 years or more.

Linda Waite, professor of urban sociology at the University of Chicago, and Maggie Gallagher, affiliate scholar at the Institute for American Values, have found that children born to unmarried mothers are more likely to die in infancy. Boys raised in single-parent homes are twice as likely to commit a crime that leads to incarceration by their early thirties.

Adolescents raised by single parents or stepfamilies are more likely to engage in sexual intercourse and to be sexually active at an earlier age, according to Dawn M. Upchurch, professor at the UCLA School of Public Health. None of this takes into account the impact of postabortive trauma or the emotional trauma of making tough decisions to allow adoption so that the child will have better opportunities.

The data are stark, but the true disaster is the damage wreaked by STDs. A girl is four times more likely to contract an STD than she is to become pregnant. Today, it is likely that a young mother has on average 2.3 STDs. Syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, chlamydia, hepatitis A and B, HIV, and HPV are the most common. Many of the viral STDs have multiple strains.

Sexual Russian roulette

A leading risk factor is the number of sexual partners. Vital health statistics directly link this factor to the early onset of sexual activity. Consider the teen who has sex with 6 people, each of whom has 6 partners. According to Dr. Meeker, this means that 36 people have been exposed to disease.

Marcel T. Saghir, coauthor of Male and Female Homosexuality: A Comprehensive Investigation, cites the magnification of this problem in the homosexual community, even among those who define themselves as monogamous. The average such relationship among homosexual males lasts less than three years. Despite attempts to portray their choice for living as normal and healthy, homosexuals are in the highest risk group for several of the most serious STDs.

Evidence from the National Cancer Institute that smoking shortens a person's life by 7--10 years led to a multibillion-dollar lawsuit by state governments. However, despite numerous studies that reveal homosexual relationships can reduce male or female lives by 10--30 years, tolerance and political correctness reign.

As even homosexual supporters and the media admit, the increasing pressure to accept homosexual practices as mainstream is dramatically affecting our society. According to the New York Blade News Reports, gay men are in the highest-risk group for several of the most serious diseases, including STDs.

Instability and promiscuity are characteristic of homosexual relationships. Even the Gay Lesbian Medical Association agrees with mainstream reports that, despite decades of intensive efforts to educate, HIV/AIDS continues to increase among the homosexual community.

According to another homosexual newspaper, the Washington Blade, HPV is "almost universal" among homosexuals. HPV, often asymptomatic, is believed to be the causative vector of cervical cancer in women. It can also lead to anal cancer in men.

Add to this the confusion about what constitutes sexual activity. Is it just penile penetration of the vagina? Does oral sex count? Is heavy petting to be included? What about practices of homosexuals? Common wisdom seems to promote the idea that these questions are irrelevant, as a condom can prevent the passing of bodily fluids, and thus HIV/AIDS.

Beyond bodily fluids

Sadly, this misconception leads to even more danger, as the passing of body fluids is not the only way to contract these diseases. Even a properly used and defect-free latex condom will not completely protect against all STDs. Any genital contact can cause an infection! Genital warts are the common name for HPV. The most common and contagious of STDs, HPV is passed by skin-to-skin contact. It is the leading cause of cervical cancer and in its cancerous form does not exhibit any symptoms.

Alas, most of our sexually active, infected youth do not know they have a disease. Some viruses can lie dormant in the body for up to 30 years before symptoms develop. Ninety percent of those infected with chlamydia exhibit no symptoms and receive no treatment.

According to abstinence speaker Pam Stenzel, the statistics of this disaster are staggering, especially among our youth. Every day in America, 12,000 teenagers contract a sexually transmitted disease. How many is an acceptable loss?

The American Medical Association recommends that sexually active girls be tested for chlamydia every six months. Why just girls? Aren't boys infected as well? Yes, men carry the infection, but as is often the case, girls endure most of the consequences. Stenzel points out that the female reproductive system is open; scar tissue builds up on the cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries as a result of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) from the chlamydia infection.

With a single chlamydia infection, there is a 25 percent chance of sterility. With a second infection there is a 50 percent chance of sterility. If there is a third infection, it is almost certain that the girl will be sterile--all due to PID.

This is why, some people reason, we should promote a dual message and sell teens on abstinence with "safe sex" as a backup. The dual message approach says that abstinence is best, but if you choose to engage in genital contact, use some form of contraception, usually condoms. This comprehensive message indicates that our youth are no more than bundles of uncontrollable hormones--that they are no more than mere animals. Many public school sexuality education programs instruct youth in the proper use of condoms and contraception. The information given is that condoms significantly reduce the chance of STD infection.

In reality, even if a condom is used 100 percent of the time, a sexually active young person is at risk to contract STDs including gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. Even when used, a condom fails to prevent pregnancy 12 percent of the time, according to the Maryland Center for Mental and Child Health. Despite faithful use of the condom, the person who engages in genital contact is not immune from contracting an STD that spreads through skin-to-skin contact.

It is time that adults cleaned up their act and encouraged youth to aspire to achieve the goal of being responsible, thinking people. Young people need adults who will trust them enough to give them the information they need to make good choices.

Knowledge is power

Young people need to know that sex without boundaries is deadly. There are consequences when engaging in genital contact outside the bonds of marriage. Young people need to know that both parties should wait until they make a lifelong commitment to one another in marriage to have sex. Within marriage, they have a better chance to be healthier, to attain a higher level of education, to be financially secure, to be happier and enjoy sex more, but only if that sex is with their marital partner.

The only way to protect against STDs that can have lifelong, physically and emotionally painful consequences is to abstain from genital contact outside of marriage. According to the University of Chicago research in Sex in America, researchers report that when a marriage is intact, the couple almost never have sex outside their marital relationship.

Promiscuous sexual practices, whether heterosexual or homosexual, are highly costly to Americans. The health of present and future generations is in jeopardy. The idea that avoiding pregnancy or homosexual behavior is enough is dangerous. This attitude completely ignores the possibility and consequences of exposure to STDs. Add to this the disease of substance abuse and emotional trauma due to abortion, depression, anxiety, and subsequent problems, and it is clear that one should avoid promiscuity at all costs.

Despite the rhetoric, everyone is not doing it! Over 50 percent of our youth are not engaging in genital contact with one another. Given the information, our young people are capable of making informed decisions. Once we realize this, we can give them (and society) a future without this plague.

The promiscuous plague has many facets. Messages in the media, peer pressure, alcohol, and drugs all influence teen sexual behavior. The biggest influences, of course, are parents. The actions of young people reflect what adults transmit. This is done through how adults behave and what is communicated as acceptable. By allowing the media to undermine morality, the plague is fostered. By engaging in dangerous sexual practices, the plague is encouraged.

More important, by abdicating parental responsibility, the plague is promoted. A recent survey of teens conducted by L.B. Whitbeck, professor of sociology at the University of Nebraska, found that parents have the strongest effect on a teen's decision whether to have sex. Parents influence the attitude of their teens by their own marital status, their attitudes, the amount of supervision they provide, and how involved they are with their children.

Ultimately, the most effective inoculation against this plague is effective parenting. Certainly parenting would be made easier if the entertainment media reduced their hard sell of "anything goes" sex and schools truly taught nonmarital abstinence and credited our youth with the ability to use good sense. If given the opportunity, teens can and will make good choices. Our next generation needs to know it is okay to say no!

Viewing "The Passion of the Christ" Motivates Man to Confess to Murder of Mother and Unborn Child

RICHMOND, Texas, March 26, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A Texan man has confessed to killing his 19-year-old girlfriend after seeing Mel Gibson's the Passion of the Christ. The man, who carefully planned the murder to make it appear a suicide, reportedly repented of the slaying and confessed to police. The woman's body was found by her mother in January. The medical examiner later ruled her death a suicide. The man is alleged to have killed the woman because he didn't want the burden of caring for their child which she was carrying. Seeking redemption, he turned himself in to police March 7th after viewing the movie.

The Passion of the Christ surpassed $300 million in domestic box office sales this week, not including more than $32 million grossed so far internationally.

Meanwhile in Russia, Russian Orthodox Church leaders are predicting that the Passion will bring many viewers closer to God. The Passion opened in theatres in Moscow Thursday.

"For those who know little about Christ, but want to know more, for those who are not used to going to church on a regular basis, this film may really become a revelation and help them become closer to God," Bishop Yegoryevsk Mark, deputy head of the external liaison department of the Moscow Patriarchate, told the Interfax news source on Thursday.

"Its purpose is to break the atrophy of human insensitivity and to get through to people's hearts," Bishop Mark said.
