Abortion org. granted millions from Trudeau spreads lie about late term abortion in Canada

Abortion org. granted millions from Trudeau spreads li

'The Trudeau Government immediately stop funding an organization that peddles lies about abortion in Canada.'

September 1, 2022 (Campaign Life Coalition) – A Canadian abortion activist organization, which has received over $12M in grants from the Trudeau Liberal government over the past two years (here and here), has been caught spreading misinformation about abortion on its website.

Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights, a top Canadian pro-abortion organization — which also goes by the name Planned Parenthood Canada — falsely claims on its website that the latest an abortion can be committed in Canada is at 23 weeks and 6 days gestation.

“No providers in Canada offer abortion care beyond 23 weeks and 6 days. When they are beyond 23 weeks and 6 days, many Canadians end up having to travel to the United States to access services with little guidance or support from their governments,” Action Canada’s website states.

This claim leads visitors to the website to believe that late-term abortions of preborn children, who could survive outside of their mothers’ wombs, do not exist in Canada. This misinformation, unfortunately, has not remained confined to the pro-abortion website. It has also been disseminated by media outlets that have uncritically used this misinformation in reports without first checking the facts. For instance, a report from CTV earlier this year outlining the legal status of abortion in Canada not only quoted Action Canada’s misinformation but linked to it as well.

The truth is that late-term abortions do happen in Canada and they happen regularly.

Late-term abortions can be committed in Canada because there is nothing legally to stop them from happening. In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada in the Morgentaler decision threw out the country’s 1969 law that governed when an abortion can be committed. The Court, at that time, tasked Parliament with creating a new law that would legally protect children before birth. An attempt was made, but such a law never happened. Because of this, abortion persists in a legal vacuum to this day, leaving the pre-born, throughout the entire journey of pregnancy, with no legal protection. This means that abortion is technically permitted throughout all nine months of pregnancy, even right up to the moment of birth. While various provincial medical governing bodies have abortion guidelines, these guidelines do not have the force of law behind them.

There are stories about late-term abortions happening in Canada in mainstream media.

In a 2021 article published in the Montreal Gazette, Lise Ravary, who identifies as “pro-choice,” wrote about late-term abortions happening in Canada. She anecdotally related the experience of a McGill professor at the faculty of law and of medicine regarding cases of late-term abortion. “One woman wanted a late term abortion because she had just learned that her fetus had a cleft lip, an easy thing to repair. The other was a student who ‘forgot’ to get an abortion because she was too busy with her classes. They both got what they wanted in the end,” she wrote. “It should shock every decent Canadian,” she added.

In another Montreal Gazette article, Charlie Fidelman wrote about a woman who aborted her baby in a Montreal hospital at 35 weeks. According to Fidelman in the 2016 report, the woman “who ended her pregnancy at 35 weeks says the experience was so painful that she will never speak about it in public again.”

The evidence for late-term abortions in Canada is not only anecdotal. Hard data proves that late-term abortions do occur.

Researcher and writer Patricia Maloney, who publishes at Run with Life, is the preeminent pro-life source for tracking late-term abortions in Canada. She not only tracks publicly available data and statistics in Canada on this topic, but she also receives exclusive information from government-controlled institutions that track this data. They provide her with exclusive information which she publishes on her website.

Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), a government-controlled institution which tracks Canada’s health systems, reported 10 pre-born babies aborted at 25 to 28 weeks of gestation in the 2019-2020 period. In the 2018-2019 period, there were 20 pre-born babies aborted at 25 weeks’ and greater gestation. The CIHI has also tracked late-term abortions for previous years, as documented by Maloney.

Jeff Gunnarson, National President of Campaign Life Coalition, said that it’s not surprising that abortion-promoting organizations would want to hide the fact that late-term abortions are happening in Canada.

“For some reason, the abortion industry is reluctant to tell the truth that late-term abortions are happening in Canada. Why? Perhaps they fear that if Canadians knew this truth, it might wake them up to the abhorrent nature of all abortions.”

Gunnarson said that it doesn't take a biologist to recognize the truth that these babies are humans and have their own brainwaves, beating hearts, and finger prints. “They have bodies that are different from their mothers’ bodies. They look just like already born babies,” he said.

Gunnarson is not the only Canadian leader to draw attention to late-term abortion. People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier, who is known to be “pro-choice," communicated to his supporters last July that “late-term abortions happen in Canada” and that he finds the practice “abhorrent.”

“Late-term abortion (in the third trimester) is akin to infanticide and should be prohibited,” he said.

Gunnarson is demanding that the Trudeau Government immediately stop funding an organization that peddles verifiable misinformation and which is relied upon by media outlets and legislators. He is concerned that such an organization could have serious, adverse effects on Canadian public policy decisions and legislation.

“Why aren’t Canadian media outlets checking their facts, holding Action Canada to account for spreading misinformation about abortion? What else may Action Canada be lying about? And worse still, why is Mr. Trudeau awarding millions of dollars to an organization that spreads such misinformation which can be potentially dangerous for public policy decision-making?”

“I call upon Prime Minister Trudeau and the Minister of Health, Jean-Yves Duclos, to immediately stop funding this organization, and others like it, that peddle misinformation about abortion,” he said.

Gunnarson said that Action Canada needs to be held accountable for its misinformation that masks the genocide committed against human children in Canada who are yet to be born.

“Action Canada cannot be trusted to tell the truth when it comes to abortion. It should not be the recipient of a single dollar of government funding,” he said.

Run With Life: Ottawa Citizen agrees to change policy regarding p...

Run With Life: Ottawa Citizen agrees to change policy regarding p...:

I think it's time we insist that newspapers use the word "pro-life" to describe us. Newspapers usually call us "anti-abortion". I took issue with this policy last week when I wrote a letter to the Ottawa Citizen after they changed a letter I wrote where I used "pro-life" to "anti-abortion".


I then contacted the Citizen and explained that I had a big problem with this change.

Then ensued a correspondence between myself and Christina Spencer, the editorial pages editor. She said they would review their policy of using the word "anti-abortion" instead of pro-life" after I explained how unfair this policy was to us, since we call ourselves "pro-life". And that, just like how editors call themselves editors and not "word-changers", we like to be called "pro-life" and not "anti-abortion".

In putting forth our position on calling ourselves "pro-life" I then explained:

"Cardinal Collins never used the word abortion in his homily. He used the words "Sanctity of Life", Gift of Life", "Cause of Life", "March for Life", etc. He also spoke about euthanasia and assisted suicide: our view is much broader than anti-abortion, it is about the sanctity of ALL life: 
"anti-abortion" is not what I wrote and definitely not what I meant. If it is the Citizens policy to use that word instead of the word we use ourselves--and the word I always use--the Citizen is manipulating my/our message. 
For someone to read my letter as it stands, who knows little or nothing about life issues, will believe that I/we call ourselves "anti-abortion" when this is simply untrue, misleading to readers, and unfair to us. 
Surely it is not the Citizen's goal to mislead/misrepresent their readers/letter writers? 
...another argument is this: It is one thing for the OC to use the word "anti-abortion" in articles written by staff members (and I don't agree with this either), but it is another thing entirely to change a letter that I have written to use the word "anti-abortion", when clearly the letter should be in my voice, not in the voice of the OC. And the same goes for Cardinal Collins: I was writing about what he said, it wasn't OC staff writing about what he said."
The Citizen has now agreed that:

"letter-writers should be given their own voices as much as possible, regardless of our other style protocols around the issue. As a result, I’ve gone in to our web file and updated your letter to use the term “pro life” where you used it."
I think this is very good news for us at the Ottawa Citizen. Now we need to educate other newspapers in Canada where this policy is practiced.

Following his ministry he will take some vacation with his family before returning to the seminary in Detroit this fall. God willing , Ruben will be ordained to the diaconate, September 2016 and to the priesthood, June 2017.

From LifeNews.com - Canadian Pro-Lifers: Prime Minister Should OK Free Vote on Abortion Bill

by Steven Ertelt
from http://www.lifenews.com/


In advance of a debate in parliament over a bill that would stop coerced and forced abortions on women, a pro-life group says Prime Minister Stephen Harper should reconsider his position.

Harper has said he will never reopen the abortion debate nor will he support this bill, but Peter Ryan, Executive Director of New Brunswick Right to Life, hopes he will change his mind as he did before.

“Right now the Prime Minister is saying his government – all the cabinet members, around 40 MPs I think – will oppose Roxanne’s Law even though many of them are pro-life, even though the prime minister should know better,” he said. “Why does he oppose it? Because he’s said he does not want the abortion issue to come up in Parliament.”

Ryan says he hopes Harper “has a change of heart as he did last April when he voted against a pro-abortion motion after initially indicating to his caucus that he would support it.”

The pro-life advocate says Harper doesn’t necessarily need to mount a public campaign for the bill.

“All he has to do is allow all his MPs – including cabinet members – a free vote, i.e. to vote according to their conscience. Is that too much to ask?” he said in an email. “Otherwise the bill will likely be defeated.”

Pat Maloney, writing  at the National Post, agreed.
“In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the country’s abortion law. But the court did say that Parliament has the right to legislate protection of the unborn,” Maloney writes. “Even though Mr. Harper would not support such a bill, he doesn’t have to. Bill C-510 is a private member’s bill, not a government bill. The purpose of such bills is to give backbench MPs from all parties the opportunity to bring forward legislation they believe in, independent of what’s on the government’s agenda.”

“Mr. Harper would get one vote — just like any MP — and he could vote as his conscience dictates,” Maloney added. for more on this article from LifeNews click here

Some Limits Needed

My sister's letter in the Ottawa Citizen today


http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Some+limits+needed/2560671/story.html

The Ottawa Citizen February 13, 2010

Re: Don't ignore reproductive rights, Feb. 11.
Columnist Elizabeth Payne writes that "This government can't talk about improving global maternal health without talking about access to contraception and abortion." I think that she assumes our sad Canadian reality of no abortion law is a good thing and should now be exported to Third World countries, too.
Most Canadians, including many who call themselves pro-choice, believe that there should be some limits on abortion. As did the Supreme Court justices in their Morgentaler decision in 1988 when they said it was up to Parliament to provide protection for the unborn. Parliament, sadly, continues to not heed the Supreme Court's advice.
Then in an astonishing display of irony, Payne writes that "For Canada to lead a G8 campaign promoting maternal and child health in the poorest parts of the world that ignores reproductive rights would be both counterproductive and paternalistic."
For Canadians to impose our any-time, any-reason, or no-reason, abortion realities to Third World countries, takes the notion of being paternalistic to new lows.Patricia Maloney,
