So, the feminists screaming "it's our body, it's our choice" still aren't happy with Canada having NO abortion laws, they want to be able to kill your breathing child. It is legal in Canada to kill a baby as long as it hasn't taken it's first breath. This is a disgusting situation.
Now our judges are taking it one step further. Killing your newborn, breathing baby, and throwing it into a neighbours yard like a piece of garbage, well that's okay too!
More than six years and two jury trials after 19-year-old Katrina Effert gave birth to a boy in her parents’ basement after a secret pregnancy, strangled him with thong underwear and tossed his body, wrapped in a towel, into a neighbour’s yard in Wetaskiwin, Alta., the Court of Appeal of Alberta last week sentenced her to time served for improper disposal of a body. With a suspended sentence for the infanticide, she is now “a quiet young woman going about her life,” and working in her mother’s hair salon, her lawyer Peter Royal said yesterday.
Imagine if she had strangled a puppy and thrown it away. The outcry would have been deafening. Secret pregnancy? Why not get a taxpayer funded abortion if you didn't want the baby? Feminists will tell you it is your choice, why no outcry that the girl carried the baby to term and then killed it?
"a quiet young woman going about her life"? What about the little baby boy, who was given NO chance to quietly go about his life? We are all horrified when we hear about an abandoned animal, but this woman gets off scott free from killing her live, kicking and breathing baby. I took two poisoned squirrels to an emergency vet clinic hoping they could be saved, and people in the clinic were shocked that someone was poisoning animals.
That little baby boy was just as defenseless as those baby squirrels but feminists, and society in general turn their backs because they do not want to appear politically incorrect. BullSh*t. That baby deserved the right to live. Our judges are out of control. This young lady, who still has her life, should have to pay for the life she killed. She could have had an abortion up until the baby was born, but she didn't, she chose to kill her baby after it was born. She is disgusting, may what she did haunt her all her life.
How can feminists justify her behaviour when abortion is totally unrestricted in Canada? She had no excuse for killing her baby, NONE!
Don't believe me? Let me enlighten you. First we have abortion, a very divisive issue, to kill or not to kill that is the question! Some think yes, some think no, but those who support killing actively suppress those who want to stop the slaughter, to the point of jailing those who would save the babies.
You can see how violent the anti-abortion protesters were. All they wanted to do was to bring the abortion debate into the light, but all those tough police officers stopped them from.......what? Displaying pictures of aborted babies? What is going on with this country? If university students can't be confronted with the truth about abortion, who can? I thought universities were the symbol of truth and discovery. My bad.
This is only the beginning. First they take over the universities then they go public with their distorted views on humanity.
Shorter Virginia Ironside: Most Adopted Kids Would Rather Be Dead, Anyway
According to author and columnist Virginia Ironside, most adopted kids would be better off dead. As would most children she considers “unfit.” In fact, she says, a “loving” mother would smother a sickly child with a pillow, because the “suffering” of being ill makes that life meaningless and not worth living. She made these vile assertions in defense of abortion while appearing on the BBC’s Sunday Morning Live during a discussion grossly entitled “Can abortion be a kindness?” First was her odious attempt to argue that abortion is a “loving choice” because some kids, in her mind, are unwanted. Her tunnel-visioned, sad excuse for a mind can’t seem to fathom that the children are always wanted by someone. You know, like people with hearts and compassion. ...... And I think that if I were a mother of a suffering child, I would be the first to want I mean a deeply suffering child I would be the first one to put a pillow over its head. I would with any suffering thing and I think the difference is that my feeling of horror suffering is many greater than my feeling of getting rid of a couple of cells because suffering can go on for years.
Go watch the videos of this disgusting "progressive". Seriously, you need to hear what she is saying.
In ancient Sparta, babies who were considered handicapped or in any way not perfectly healthy were exposed to the elements, left on a mountainside to die. Have to “purify” society and all! That was a long time ago and thankfully modern civilization has come a long way.
Modern civilization has come a long way? Sure, if you are a progressive, you have no problem with aborting perfectly viable babies because you might be inconvenienced and let's just use a pillow to get rid of handicapped babies, unless you are someone like Latimer, who did exactly what the "progressives" are calling for, he compassionately killed his 12 year old handicapped daughter, and the lefties went wild! He has spent more time in jail than some teens in Edmonton who took a golf club to a kid and killed him.
So, today, in this "enlightened" day, we have police arresting pro-life protesters, because the lefties can't stand the fact that killing babies is messy, and pictures might actually show just how messy it gets.
I applaud the pro-life students who took a stand today. It clearly shows that free speech is only free if you are a "progressive" and pro-death. Shame on this university, it just showed us all how sickening these institutes of higher learning have become. Reminds me of the U of Ottawa shutting down Ann Coulter, because they disagreed with her opinions.
Is there anyway that I can direct my tax dollars to only the universities I support? If they start losing tax dollars, they might start cluing into what their actual responsibilities are as leaders of higher education, and they might actually start allowing freedom of speech and expression to reign free on their campuses.
On Thursday, the March FOR Life will take place all across North America. Expect lots of news coverage by CBC and CTV....or not.
It is a celebration of life, not for death. Do the pro-choice people rally for abortion? Iggy can't even say the word abortion, yet he is trying to pound the Conservatives for their support of life. He needs to look at his MP's, they are the ones that scuttled his own bill. No money for abortions overseas.
I will be at the Edmonton celebration of life. I hope that the cold hearts of women who use abortion as a method of birth control, will melt towards their babies. Maybe if they listen to this youngster, they might change their minds.
She is a very brave young lady. Of course the fembots do not dare challenge her, because she is right. Abortion is wrong. It does not empower women, it makes them weaker. Feminists should be outraged that men are telling/forcing women to kill their female babies because they are considered to be nothing, while boy babies are precious and desired. Our society is sick.
Feminists are trying to pressure the government to support abortions in Africa, whether African women want it or not. They already have everything they could want in Canada, babies can be killed even as they are being born. I challenge any feminist to explain to me how this is right. How does killing a baby empower you. My body, my choice, is a juvenile response to a very serious and deadly problem.
So, go out there on Thursday, and celebrate life. Thank your Mother for caring enough about you to give you life. Pray for those who have chosen to abort their babies, the guilt must be enormous. Teach your children the consequences of having sex, especially unprotected sex. Sex for the sake of sex, is an empty vessel. Love and commitment is fulfilling and magical. A baby is not something to be discarded like garbage. Support life. Choose Life!
The governments initiative to help with the maternal and child health care in developing countries is an excellent idea, that the Liberals have used as a wedge in their "cultural war" to gain votes. This is disgusting.
First, the Liberals need to understand what "maternal" means:
Main Entry: ma·ter·nal Pronunciation: \mə-ˈtər-nəl\ Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French & Medieval Latin; Middle French maternel, from Medieval Latin maternalis, from Latin maternus, from mater mother — more at mother Date: 15th century
1 : of, relating to, belonging to, or characteristic of a mother : motherly 2 a : related through a mother b : inherited or derived from the female parent
Since the 15th century maternal has meant Mother. There should be no confusion about the definition, but it appears that lefties just don't quite understand what Mother means. It means you are the female who gives birth to a child who is your daughter or son. Hopefully everyone can agree on that point. Well....maybe not everyone.
Fried said Oxfam has seen many girls as young as 11 and 12 carry babies to term and suffer lasting heath problems as a result.
"Where it's necessary, abortion is a safe tool to save a mother's life," he said.
Fried, what an appropriate name! Fried needs to understand that if a woman aborts her baby, she is not, and will not be a MOTHER! So, an initiative to help Mothers and their children, (both already born and breathing human beings) has nothing to do with abortion. When these Mothers are just trying to keep their babies alive, they do not want some supposedly "charitable" organization shoving the abortion debate into their lives. These women want food, clean water and medication for the babies they already have. How much would it cost to have free clinics for these families?
If OXFAM does not understand this, they deserve no more of our money. United Way is another organization that supports abortion. They have smartened up and allow you to direct your donation to a specific charity. The worse offender is UNICEF. They used to have all the Catholic schools getting the kids to collect change at Halloween. Can you remember the last time you saw one of their donation boxes? They don't want you to know they had to stop the program, because Catholic schools stopped supporting them, over their support of abortions.
Funny how the news articles are all about mean old Conservatives, and the people most often quoted are pro-abortion. How about the 50% who are pro-life? Crickets!!!
Gwen Landolt, vice president of REAL Women Canada, praised the Conservative government's decision, saying that they clearly “realize that you don't impose the practices of the Western world on the developing world.”
Landolt told LifeSiteNews.com on Tuesday that the prime minister had effectively said that his plan’s purpose is to “help poverty stricken countries, and to help them is to help women with clean water and proper medical care and looking after children after they're born.
“But destroying human life is simply no solution to the problem, because women in the developing world – because of cultural and religious reasons – they like having their children. They want their babies.”
Hey, there's an idea, ask the Mothers what they need. If they say food, clean water, and education, then let's put our dollars into those important initiatives. Let OXFAM/United Way/UNICEF do the abortions on their donors dime. Everyone happy now?
The Liberals should be ashamed of their "culture war" that is hurting MOTHERS in developing countries. They were not happy just attacking our troops, while they themselves march with terrorists that our troops are fighting, they are glorifying Galloway for sh*t sake! They have now included Mothers in third world countries, who love their babies and want them to have a fair chance at life. Unfortunately, the Liberal/NDP/Bloc coalition are promoting abortion to Mothers who have seen more death in their short lives than we can imagine. It really is sick.
Here's an idea. ALL 308 MP's should be required to spend all of July in Africa, helping at clinics, digging wells, growing crops, and helping Mothers take care of their families. Maybe then, when they tell us that these Mothers really want abortions, we might believe them. Let them see what it means to have no power, no fuel and no food. I haven't even talked about political and military dictators who steal all the aid money. Or the NGO's that take 75% of the money given to their organizations. Or the pirates and terrorists who steal the food and then sell it to buy guns. None of that is on the Liberals radar, or the medias, those are not divisive enough, they don't promote the "culture war" that the Liberals have been carrying out for years.
Maternal means Mother. You can not be a Mother if you abort your child. It's that simple. Aid to Mothers and children, leave the abortion issue out of it.
Iggy made it to a high school in Saskatchewan to tell them to learn to speak French. I guess those rural kids should learn it while milking the cows, mucking the barns (Iggy has been in one!), and driving the tractors while planting this spring, because, well, they just might want to be a Supreme Court judge one day.
Oh, and forget about having that nasty gun handy if a bear shows up, especially if the gun isn't registered. The bear will report you to the nearest mortuary...oops police officer.
Could this guy be anymore out of touch than Dion eating a hot dog with a knife and fork? He is following the Graves strategy to a better more divided Canada, but it will be a Liberal Canada.
In his advice, Mr. Graves could hardly have been more blunt. “I told them that they should invoke a culture war. Cosmopolitanism versus parochialism, secularism versus moralism, Obama versus Palin, tolerance versus racism and homophobia, democracy versus autocracy. If the cranky old men in Alberta don’t like it, too bad. Go south and vote for Palin.”
What a nice Conservative ad this will be for the next election! They will even be able to use real tape showing that he stood by his words, until he realized the damage it would do to his company, EKOS. So far, I have it Rahim $0, EKOS $61 million, yes $61 MILLION.
I think Graves was truly blindsided by Kory because Liberals never think they are going to be held to account for their actions. Even here in Conservative Alberta, the Liberals spout endlessly about what is wrong with the Conservative government, and Conservatives just ignore them. I can't imagine what it is like in a non-Conservative province.
Is the media reporting on Graves? Are they following him to his cottage? Who is the media after? Helena of course.
Will Iggy continue to use Graves strategy, to divide Canada? I think yes. So far we have:
1. Abortion for developing countries paid by us. 2. Support of the gun registry. 3. French for judges. 4. Promoting "scandals". 5. Demonize our troops.
Alberta will be the whipping province, as per usual, because the Liberals have nothing to lose by demonizing us. They have no seats here, and no hope of getting any soon. This has been the case since Trudeau imposed the NEP on Albertans. The Liberals are counting on Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces to gain power again. Too bad that most of Ontario outside of the GTA is more Conservative than Liberal. Now that Danny has shut up, Newfoundland might go back to the Conservatives, and this could be the majority that is needed.
After watching the opposition in action against Rahim and how much power the committees have to force Canadians to their will, while hiding behind parliamentary privilege, we need a clear majority next time or a coalition will become a reality, and that will be a disaster for Canada. The committees already have a majority for the lefties, and that is why nothing is being done. The Afghan committee has still not gone to Afghanistan to see what is really happening, they are too intent on demonizing our troops for turning over Afghanistan prisoners to the Afghan government.
The Liberals are going to continue dividing Canada with their "policies" and it could mean the death of the Canada we know and love.
I know that recently gender selection has been an issue in the news. How sad that some babies are considered more precious than others. How sad that some women are so selfish that they consider their body more important than any baby they might have had, and that abortion is an option no matter what their situation. This is not the sixties anymore when an unwanted pregnancy was considered a stain on a young girls life. Where would the US be right now if Obama's 17 year old mother had aborted him?
"I wake up in the morning and I see her big smile and think, "I'm so happy I get to spend another day with you, I get to see what you're going to show me today," says her mother, Vicki McKenzie, 32. "Every day with her is a birthday for us."
A year ago, Vicki and her husband, Ian, 33, had no idea whether their baby was going to survive one minute out of the womb, let alone one year. In March 2009, at 30 weeks gestation, doctors at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa discovered the baby had a heart condition called critical aortic stenosis, which causes a narrowing of the main outlet valve in the left ventricle. Without treatment, the baby would likely die of heart failure before or during birth.
Everyday is special for this family. There was no, my body, my choice garbage. It was all about, my baby, whatever I can do to save her. They did everything they could to help this precious baby girl survive. I applaud them, and hope it all works out for them.
It really highlights the selfishness of women who think their bodies are more important than their babies. Remember how years ago it was considered okay to sterilize females who were mentally deficient because they might have mentally deficient children. We cringe about that now. We think we are so modern and sophisticated, that we have evolved as a society, when in fact we have regressed. Now we are not sterilizing the mentally deficient anymore, but we as a society are condoning the death of perfectly healthy babies because the mother doesn't want stretch marks, or the responsibility of raising a child on their own.
We are not more "progressive", we are regressive, and we should be ashamed that we are too scared of the radical left feminists to even enact a law that would protect babies after 20 weeks. Think about it, 20 weeks is over 4 months of pregnancy, this is not a blob of cells anymore, ask any mother who has heard their babies heartbeat, whether that is a blob of cells or a baby.
Feminists refuse to evolve. They chant "my body, my choice" like little robots without feeling, or a sense of what damage they do to society and themselves by not just condoning abortion but promoting it as a method of birth control.
When finally some politician has the balls to stand up for the unborn children that are being slaughtered, our society will be able to move forward. Right now the opposition is more concerned about protecting terrorists than they are about protecting our most precious resource, unborn babies.
Gender selection is not the problem, allowing abortion up until the point of birth is the problem. We should be ashamed as a nation that we allow that to happen. And for the feminists that will tell us that late term abortions are rare, well so too are women that are raped who get pregnant. I would like to see a study done on how many women who are raped actually get pregnant.
Let's be "progressive" and ban abortions. After all, we know how lefties love to ban stuff, and this would be one ban I could get behind 100%!
Hillary came to Canada and thinking that we still bow down and listen to the US, proceeded to stick her foot in her mouth, and make herself look like the "ugly American" we've all heard about but refuse to believe exists. Oh, except for lefties who are anti-American, unless it's Democrats in power.
Hillary is like a female sow (Status of Women) in the jewelry shop. She came, she saw sparkling Arctic ice and wanted it for the US. Then she saw our shining gems in Afghanistan and wanted them too. Finally, she saw Belinda in the reflection of her jaded glasses and wished her away by means of lecturing to Canada on how taxpayers should pay for diamond killing in Africa.
Or does she just not get this diplomacy idea? You do not come to a friends house and poop on their carpet, but that's what she did. Funny how Americans think she is so smart and Palin is so dumb, when it is actually the reverse.
Iffy, after his massive embarrassment in having his own MP's defeat his abortion bill, grabbed Hillary's support of abortion and ran with it, right into a gold brick wall. Obama, his idol, has signed a bill after being pressured, by his own Democrats, that specifically states that abortion in the US will not be funded by taxpayers money. Yet Iffy wants Canadians to pay for abortions in Africa, because Hillary said so?? How American of him!
Tom Clark was pressuring a Conservative MP about why we aren't going to stay in Afghanistan if both America and the UK want us to be there. Does Clark understand the hypocrisy of his question? Conservatives for the first time in history allowed ALL MP's in Parliament to determine if our troops would stay in Afghanistan, previously the government in power just decided without consultation, and the OPPOSITION told this minority government that we MUST get out FULLY in 2011, and that is what the government is doing. It couldn't be anymore clear than that. Since 2008 the PM has been telling all allies that we are out by 2011, yet Clark pretends that this is a surprise? Get real! CTV are such liberal toadies it's downright embarrassing.
Hillary is a perfect example of the Peter Principle, she is in way over her head. As your typical arrogant Liberal, I bet she didn't even realize that she was in a foreign country, and that she could not just spout off her opinions as if Canada was one of the 57 states Obama thinks he rules over.
I have never respected Hillary because she stayed with Bill. If she was the independent feminist woman she pretends to be, she would have left him in a flash. After her visit here, I have even less respect for her, because she has no understanding of what her statements about the Arctic, Afghanistan and Abortion meant to Canadians, and she couldn't care because Canadians have no power to elect her. She left behind a mess, and is too stupid to understand what she did. Feminists. Democrats. Blame Canada.
All quiet on the abortion front. If you didn't read the blogs, you would never even know that Iggy had blundered badly by listening to his far left feminists. Those ladies of the "pink" book, which of course is sexist just by choosing "pink" as their colour, think helping women and children in the undeveloped countries means abortion.
The lame media were quick to realize that Iggy had blundered and disappeared his comments. I had to search their sites to actually find the articles.
Late Tuesday, Liberal MP Paul Szabo said he was caught off guard by the announcement and claims Ignatieff doesn't have a consensus for the stand among Liberals.
"I am a pro-life MP and there are many of my colleagues in the Liberal caucus who will protect the unborn in their decisions as Parliamentarians, and should matters come before the House they will continue to act accordingly," Szabo told the anti-abortion website, LifeSiteNews.
I have had my disagreements with Paul Szabo, but he has earned my respect by being a staunch supporter of life. If I lived in his riding, I would vote for him. He is what the Liberals used to be, principled. Good for him!
Liberal Leader questions whether Conservatives will shy award from funding family-planning agencies
Family planning agencies that support abortion, are not helping women to plan FAMILIES! Unicef and United Way are off of my list of charities because they support abortions, not families. How can you have a family if you abort the baby?
At least the National Post is not hiding Ignatieff's comments.
“This has nothing to do with abortion, or gay marriage or capital punishment, in case those are going to be [Mr. Ignatieff’s] next arguments on this issue,” said Dimitri Soudas, the Prime Minister’s spokesman. “At the end of the day, maternal and child health is about saving lives of vulnerable children and mothers in the developing world.”
By bringing abortion into a discussion where it had not previously been, and then making it a key element, Mr. Ignatieff seemed to go much further, says Tom Flanagan, a University of Calgary political scientist and former campaign manager for the Conservative party.
“Of all the issues that you could possibly raise about women’s health, why would you start with abortion?” Mr. Flanagan says. “What kind of mindset is that that you have to start killing unborn babies in order to help people? It seems to be based on the now discredited theory that poverty in the Third World is based on overpopulation. I don’t think any serious scholar believes that anymore.”
Mr. Ignatieff was unavailable for comment
Every fiber in my body screams out at the horror of abortion. You can not candy coat it as only "cells", not if you have had those "cells" kicking you in the middle of the night. What is the most disturbing factor in the abortion issue is that it is women encouraging other women to kill their babies. How sad.
Feminists want to have balls and a penis, not equality. They hate having a womb and they want other women to hate their womb's as well. To bad they do not understand that a woman's power is the very fact that they can give life. Bringing a life into this world is awe inspiring, it is a sacred trust between the mother and child. For these feminists to think that women in third world countries do not want their babies is disgusting. They should be standing beside their sisters, not trying to impose their lack of morals on other women. Many of these women are Muslims or Christians who would be going against their faith by having an abortion, but immoral people need to bring moral people down to their level, so they can have company in their misery. Now you know why feminists are not fighting harder to protect women in Afghanistan.
Ignatieff stepped in it big time by trying to painting himself and his party as the party in favour of abortions. Go ahead, cater to the far left wing feminists in your party, it will not serve you well.
If her baby was pro-choice, it would be dead, but she is too stupid to realize that.
Free speech for them, but none for the presenter. Within 2 sentences of this pro-life speech, anti-free speakers rose up and disrupted a speech.
WHY? It was in support of death. Don't bother watching more than 2 minutes of the whole two hours. It was about some juvenile protesters subverting the rights of a speaker on pro-life. Anyone remember this photo?
Take my hand, not my life.
The parents did everything they could to save their baby. The baby reached out it's tiny little hand to grasp the surgeons fingers. This is a stunning and inspirational picture. A tiny little life is saved.
Those protesters on Youtube want death and their fifteen minutes of fame. They want women to choose, but not life. Abortion good, baby bad. I "suspect" like global warming is "maybe" happening, that most women who support abortion have had one themselves. A BABY is not a maybe happening in 2050. It is a fact, and lefties just can't handle facts. That's why they still scream about abortion, even though Canada allows women to kill their babies up to and including birth. Why are they protesting, they have EVERYTHING THEY WANT!!!!! These little hussies are free to have all the sex they want, and they can have all the TAXPAYER paid abortions they want. SO, why are they disrupting this lecture? Why do they need to even bother? THEY HAVE WON YEARS AGO!! If they want their baby killed at 40 weeks, it's legal in Canada, so why try to suppress free speech on the issue? GUILT!
We are the only developed country I know of that allows full term 40 week old babies to have their brains bashed in, sucked out and dumped into a bin. That is just so sickening that the pro-choice idiots don't want us to see it. They want us to think that abortion is just a minor inconvenience. Freedom of speech, only for these a&&holes, not for the actual speaker.
Funny McGill gets federal government funding, my tax dollars, to operate, maybe I should withdraw my tax dollars because I think this "institution" is in need of medical and educational reform. Free speech? My tax dollars say go ahead, speak all you want, just not on my dime. Oh, if you little McGill flakes don't like that, how about you come work in the oil patch in Alberta? HA!
These little "my body, my right to kill" idiots, think they have something to do with equality for women, when they themselves are advocating killing the most innocent of all, babies. They yell about seals being killed with a bullet, but, a human baby chopped into pieces, is okay with them. Sickos. Seriously, it has nothing to do anymore with woman's rights, they could have the baby and give it up for adoption if they wanted, but that is just too "inconvenient" for them. The ones who yell loudest are those who are most guilty.
Here is their evidence of why women need to kill their babies....
In Remembrance: Women Who Died from Illegal and Unsafe Abortions
Clara Bell Duvall Dec. 23, 1896 - March 27, 1929
Ruth Irene Friedl Aug. 24, 1901 - Aug. 21, 1929
Vivian Campbell December 12, 1925 - May 6, 1950
Geraldine Santoro August 16, 1935 - June 8, 1964
Rosie Jimenez 1950 - Oct. 3, 1977
Becky Bell August 24, 1971 - Sept. 16, 1988
Wow, so back in 1988 as the last example, a women died from a back street abortion. Ladies, it's 2009, soon to be 2010, time to find a new cause. Feminists are just sooo 1980's.
Look ladies, you have the PILL now, it is 99.98% effect at preventing pregnancy, or you have the Morning after pill...that you can take it the morning after if you aren't too lazy to get your sore butt out of bed. Are you too STUPID to understand the instructions? You have no excuse to have an abortion. This is not 1929 or even 1988, even if you get pregnant there is no social stigma anymore.
These McGill protesters are stuck on stupid, are they your children? Maybe it is time to cut them off of child welfare, parent style. They are so immature, they think they are important and making a point. They sadly have no point to make, except hate for a position they do not agree with. They silence free speech, and think they have won. What intellectual dumbbells, maybe McGill should rethink these students eligibility.
Next they will be protesting a bad mark from their professor. They are just that limited in their thinking.
This picture shows a massive protest today on Parliament Hill. Guess those Tamils don't get the message? Think again. This is a protest that the media forgot to cover.
Sadly only 18 MP's were brave enough to show their support. I applaud those 18 seeing as this Bloc MP shows you what they have to face in Parliament for their life stance.
She forgets to inform people watching that abortion in Canada is legal up to and including the actual birth. What a selfish little prig she is, it's all about her body and nothing about the baby. Her fellow Bloc MP is no better:
Bill C-484 would add an exception to the criminal code, ensuring that doctors will not face criminal prosecution if they help a person die who is at least 18 years old and who, after being given or refusing treatment, continues to "experience severe physical or mental pain without any prospect of relief," or suffers from terminal illness.
"The time has come for this Parliament to find a way to decriminalize medical assistance in dying, which is of such vital importance to those whose suffering can no longer be relieved except by this ultimate compassion," said Lalonde in introducing the bill.
Lalonde went on to observe that so far three countries in the E.U., and two U.S. states, have legalized assisted suicide. "Serious research into the application of this legislation and their very specific criteria clearly shows that the greatest fear expressed in this Parliament some years ago, abuses and the hypothetical slippery slope, has not in any way become reality," she said.
Funny, Lalonde has been battling cancer for over two years, so if euthanasia is such a big issue with her, why is she attempting to keep on living? Why is she fighting the very death that she wants for others? Or, is she pushing this because she is personally afraid of the pain of death and is too scared to do anything about it herself. Maybe she is trying to save her family from making that decision, and thinks forcing it on everyone in Canada makes it okay somehow? Could it be that she is Catholic, and knows that the Church says that suicide is a sin, and if someone else decides for her, she would be absolved?
We will have to start calling the Bloc the Culture of Death party, as they support both abortion and euthanasia. Sicko's.
All the death the Bloc supports disgusted me, so I found a wonderful video about babies. It made me remember those 2 o'clock in the morning kicks to my always full bladder. Watch how the baby responds to the Mom's touch. Can anyone watching that video still think that baby should be legally killed? Well it can be, right here in Canada, and we as taxpayers would pay for it too!
Our society is not worth saving when we are willing to kill our most vulnerable, the young, the old, and the sick.
So, this month is the United Way's big push for funds. It is the only charity that my work actively promotes. We can get payroll deductions taken off so that we can donate more and get it taken off in small amounts throughout the year. Problem is, the Catholic Church has actively told Catholics not to donate to the United Way because some of that money will go towards promoting abortions.
UNICEF's big push used to be at Halloween, do you remember kids with those boxes around their necks at Halloween, asking for change for UNICEF? Seen any of those lately? Thought not. WHY? Well UNICEF tries to make it sound like they planned the whole thing, but they refuse to admit it died because Catholic schools have stopped supporting their campaign. Funny how the public schools aren't taking up the slack.
Fifty-one years later, in 2006, following consultations with educators from all regions, UNICEF Canada has revamped its annual campaign to make it more engaging, educational and fun for Canadian kids, as well as more relevant, flexible and easy to implement for teachers. We have also been listening to the concerns expressed by teachers, schools and parents regarding the logistical and safety challenges of the traditional door-to-door coin collection.
Safety challenges? The kids are already going door to door for candy. What better time to also ask for donations. Too bad you are not listening to the Catholic schools concerns about your support of abortion. Stop listening to lefty teachers and supporting abortion, and you might get those little UNICEF boxes back next Halloween.
New York, Oct. 5, 2007 (C-fam.org/CWNews.com) - The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) has joined with the sponsors of a new drive to promote legal abortion, the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-Fam) reports.
Two charities that have cut off a huge source of funds by going against Catholic/Christian teachings. Seems like they are less interested in getting funding than promoting their own agenda's. Why would UNICEF and the United Way purposely set out to strangle their own organizations? Is a dead baby more important than a live baby that Christians would be willing to help? What is it with lefties and dead babies?
I actually found a way to donate through the United Way, you can donate to a specific charity like, Dogs With Wings, so that no money goes to organizations you do not morally agree with.
Morals, too bad these two charitable organizations have lost there way.
The MSM is in full cry again. NB Tory Lady has a link to an exclusive interview with PM Harper and Kevin Newman. Newman could have asked anything, what does he do? He shills for the Liberals by asking about the $1 million that has been added to the lawsuit against the Liberals. You can just about see stream coming from the PM, I bet that interview was cut short. Newman, you are a Liberal dolt.
I am sick of these lefty "reporters" using the power of the MSM to broadside the PM every opportunity they get. No wonder the PM will not pander to the Ottawa Parliamentary peanut gallery.
Now, I am told that females don't support the Conservatives. Well this female does, and any other strong minded female will feel the same. I have nothing but disgust for weak feminists who can't live their own lives without government interference, and expect abortion to be paid for, and we are supposed to like it, and shut up. These women are parasites and they give ALL women a bad name. The Supreme Court judge and the GG both have shown us how weak women operate. They break rules to get their way. Didn't the GG run to PM Harper recently for protection? Can anyone remember what that was about?
Feminists disregard women who do not agree with them, and try to silence us by yelling "my body, my choice". They ban pro-life groups from campuses, and cheer on bigots like Arbour. They sneer at stay at home Mom's, they want our children in state run, brainwashing, union day cares, and don't you dare spank your child, or so the Liberal senate tells us.
The lefty media supports them in all of this, they yell that funding for the SOWS has been decreased, the MSM fails to tell people the funding was actually increased. The money is going to real programs that achieve real results, instead of to feminist groups who have never been in a women's shelter, but they can write up a useless paper on feminist issues, as long as they are funded by the government, they have no idea how to actually fund raise, like the Liberals. They can't get out of the trough even though it is empty, they just sit there and oink for their Liberal entitlements.
Well feminists are like dinosaurs, soon to be extinct. Young women are not buying into their man-hating, baby-hating agenda. Women are finding out that they can have it all, family, friends and careers. I pity the feminists sitting in their cold apartments wondering why they are so dissatisfied with their lives.
What are the feminists afraid of, why are they so shrill about a bill that protects the unborn? Yes, I know they think abortion is threatened. Maybe it should be. Why can a woman legally kill her baby at any stage of her pregnancy, included up to 40 weeks?
Listen to this Bloq MP, she is willing to FORCE MP's to vote against this bill, she does not want a free vote, she wants a dictatorship. She DEMANDS that all MP's vote against the bill. She can barely spit out the word abortion, she never calls the baby a baby, it's some sort of alien blob that has invaded a woman's body, she will never admit that it is a human baby that gets killed. Wonder what her stance is on the seal hunt.
I think Demers was/is fighting some sort of cancer, but I'm not sure because her blog is only in French, so much for bi-lingualism. If she is, she should be the first person to champion baby rights. She is fighting hard to live, but she doesn't think babies in the womb should have those same rights. Shame on her.
The lefties cry about seals being killed, and then they turn around and demand that women have the right to kill their own babies. Guess if their abortions were carried out on the snow so we could see the blood and baby parts they might change their minds. Think the club used on seals is brutal? How about dismemberment, salt poisoning, or my favorite, scissors to the brain.
A perfect example of how sick they are, how disrespectful of even the concept of babies needing protection, is this little fraud.
The student, art major Aliza Shvarts, told several high-level Yale officials that she did not do the things she said she did in constructing the exhibit, according to a strongly worded statement issued by the Ivy League school and sent to FOXNews.com.
"The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body," said Helaine S. Klasky, associate dean and vice president for public affairs at Yale. "Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art. Her art project includes visual representations, a press release and other narrative materials."
Real or not, this student is seriously mental, and for Yale to call this "art" in any way, shape, or form is just sick. An art piece? ART? Proof that lefties are out of control more like it.
Personally, I think they know they are losing the fight, they know people are cringing at the thought of baby killing. They can yell "woman's right to choose" all they want, but young girls are not as stupid as the feminists think they are, and they are choosing life, over death. Just like Demers made that same choice for herself.
I was very tempted to show a picture of a seal being clubbed to death and an aborted baby all dismembered, but I couldn't do it.
International Women's Day, is a day for women to rally. CTVNews is complaining about how few companies have female CEO's, while women in Afghanistan rally for peace. For me, everyday is women's day. While we complain about equal pay, Afghanistan women just want their children to be safe to play.
Young women know a different Afghanistan than generations past - they can go to school and find work.
But neither they nor their elders know peace yet, and many said Saturday that is the only thing holding back the full advancement of women in Afghan society.
"When security becomes good, when it becomes safe and we feel we can leave our children outside, no bomb blasts, no kidnapping, nothing, that's when things will be better for women," said Rangina Farescshta, one of the women who attended a rally organized by the provincial women's council in Kandahar.
Funny how PM Harper welcomed female Afghan Parliamentarians to Canada, and not one article about it. Wonder why? HA! (there is no media bias, there is no media bias, there ....)
Meanwhile, back at home, what are our Canadian lefty female MP's busy doing? Voting against Bill C-484 to Protect the rights of the unborn. The threat of not being able to freely kill babies is more important to these rabid feminists than protecting them. Maybe they should switch places with the women in Afghanistan, might give them a bit of a different prospective on what is important. Not holding my breath on that one.
Those MP's are upset that the SOW's funding was increased, but only for real programs that deliver real results. No more advocates, researchers, or useless groups that produce papers and do nothing for actual women. If these groups are so important to women, let them fund raise, stop sucking off the public teat.
What have the feminists accomplished? What are they celebrating today? What can they be proud of doing for women?
The right of all women to have an abortion for any reason, at any time in their pregnancy. Wow, that's impressive. NOT!
Bill C-484, the Unborn Victims of Crime Act had some help in passing into committee, Liberals 27, NDP 1, Bloq 0, Ind 1, Conservatives 120. Not one of those Liberals, NDP or Independents were female, NOT ONE!
ALL Liberal, Bloq and NDP Females voted AGAINST, and one Conservative female. SHAME! They cry about having more women as MP's, well if this is what we get, no thanks.
These hardline feminists disgust me. Have they never had children of their own, never felt their baby kicking them late at night, never worried about the baby they were carrying, never had an ultrasound, never felt the pure joy of bringing a new little being to life? They have turned their backs on women who honour motherhood to support those that would kill their own babies. They are scared, shrill, and like to inform us that the debate is over. I pity their kids, if they have any.
If they were pregnant and attacked by some thug, and he stabbed and killed the baby they choose to carry, would they not mourn for that baby? Would they not want that little life to be acknowledged as a victim of crime? Are they so insecure in their own womenhood that they can not support women who have suffered horrible crimes against them and their babies? Are they so intent on killing babies that they can only see abortion as the issue? Why are they threathened by a bill that supports Mothers to be, and their choices? I thought it was my body, my choice? Where is the women's choice, when a man attacks her, and kills the baby she wanted.
How can all those female MP's justify voting against women who have suffered the worse crime they could ever suffer, having their baby killed, when they had made the choice to keep, nuture and love that baby. This is not about the sacred abortion cow, as clearly stated in the bill.
(7) For greater certainty, this section does not apply in respect of
(a) conduct relating to the lawful termination of the pregnancy of the mother of the child to which the mother has consented;
(b) an act or omission that a person acting in good faith considers necessary to preserve the life of the mother of the child or the life of the child; or
(c) any act or omission by the mother of the child.
This is about insecure feminists, who think they are the only ones who are right, and that choice is only allowed to women who choose abortion. Don't give me any of that going back to the days of coat hangers garbage, either, truely independent women have progressed beyond the 60's, it's time for the feminists to get a new message, the one they have isn't working anymore, and they know it.
Sisters? Not likely, when you only support some women, and not others, when you try to close down discussion on this bill because you FEAR it might lead to a restriction of abortion. Seeing as we have NO abortion law, and women can kill their babies even at 40 weeks, what are you scared of? SHAME on those female MP's who refuse to support ALL women, and their choices! You are not my Sister, you are not promoting equality, you are stiffling it.
Okay, feminists are always saying, if you are a male you have no right to tell me what I can do with my body. Ladies, do you understand that males are necessary if you want to become pregnant? Before all you feminists bash me for my comments, I just happen to be female, so, come one, take me on, you can't use the old, well you are a male so you wouldn't know how I feel line, it doesn't work with me.
The, it's my body, my right, also doesn't work with me, it's plainly just a very stupid statement. So, my body, my right; to cut off an arm if I want to? It's not medically necessary, same as abortion, but, heck, it's my body and if I want to get rid of an arm, I should be able to do so, and no law should stop me. What about that binding the feet thingy from way back, if I want to, I should be able to. What about the getting rid of some private parts that give me pleasure, it's not mutilation if I want it. Do you see how stupid the, my body, my right, my choice, agrument really is, how can you justify abortion, but want laws to stop female genital mutilation. It's okay to kill babies, but wearing a burka is a violation of my rights?
I thought feminists were the smart females in the herd, you know, those that go to university, have careers, do not let men dictate to them, are for equal pay, and protect women's right to kill their babies. Ladies, if you are the smart ones in the herd, why don't you know about the birth control pill, the morning after pill and condoms? Back in the 40's and 50's these did not exist, so we had a high rate of unwanted pregnancies and back street abortions, but that point is moot now, even if a young teen gets pregnant now, it's not looked down on as a BAD thing anymore.
Abortion is killing a baby, plain an simple, and there is no moral reason to do it, not in our present society. My body, my right, my choice, is as outdated as feminists, it's also totally selfish.
As a person, it's my body, but NEVER my right to kill a baby.
