Abortion laws need changing

Jan. 28 marks 25 years of unrestricted abortion in Canada.

Jan. 28 marks 25 years of unrestricted abortion in Canada. In striking down the 1969 law, that at the very least had some semblance of protection, the Supreme Court of Canada said that it is up to Parliament to determine at what stage human life in the womb should be protected.

Since then, over three and a half million babies have lost their lives to abortion, fully paid for by tax payers’ money.

British Lord David Steel’s 1967 abortion act permitting abortion up to 28 weeks of pregnancy recently said that he never envisaged there would be so many abortions, close to 200,000 a year. He is advising Ireland not to legalise abortion. The pro-abortion’s shout – ‘my body, my choice my reproductive right,’ contradicts reality.

Abortion is not liberating women. Men can shed responsibility of fatherhood and   vice versa, if they want the child, they have to fight in court.

Women are coerced into submitting to abortion. A refusal can cost them their life due to domestic violence. Women are mentally and physically damaged relationships and families are broken.

Canada prides itself in being a democratic country, yet on the protection of the most defenceless it is on par with North Korea and China, with the most atrocious human rights records. The time is now to remedy this grave injustice.
