Trudeau is wrong… abortion is not a right

Campaign Life Coalition President Jim Hughes is pictured in a 2015 photo speaking at the March for Life rally in Ottawa, Ontario.
In late September I wrote a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in which I expressed dismay at what I called some “very serious” fallacies he continues to spread regarding abortion.

Doctors group going to court to assert conscience rights

A screenshot from the Christian Medical and Dental Society website. The society is the first group to legally challenge the Ontario college of physicians and surgeon’s new policy which requires doctors with moral objections to refer for services like abortion and contraception.

The first legal challenge to a policy that would force Ontario doctors to refer for abortions against their conscience has been announced by the Christian Medical and Dental Society.

This time, the court hears the voice of the people

Brian Coldin, who, according to various media reports, owns a nudist resort in cottage country, was charged with public nudity after showing up in Bracebridge more than once wearing nothing but sandals.

It is all too common (and often exasperating) when the ground beneath us shifts on morality issues and common decency. It is easy to shake our head and say, “This sort of stuff wouldn’t have happened in the Canada I grew up in.”

These shifts occur for many reasons, from the silent majority saying nothing about the latest “Politically Correct” silliness to politicians bowing to the pressure from small, but effective, special interest groups. Sadly, the courts are also to blame by too often protecting the rights of offenders ahead of the rights of victims and the community at large.
