Mary Talbot wants justice for Olivia - renew bill C-484
Below is Mary Talbot's message of April 9, 2010 she sent to the members of the Olivia's Justice Group on facebook.
Dear Friends, I'm sorry to have taken so long to say how truly grateful I am for all your support leading up to the appeal March 19th. I hope you all got the message that the appeal was dismissed and that the appellant will now have to serve his life sentence. I felt Olivia's presence in the court room and I know that she is comforted with these results.
I am going to ask more from you now. It is the effort to renew the Bill C-484. I still strongly believe that Olivia's beautiful baby boy was also murdered. Though there will not be justice here on earth, we need to see our justice system recognize that Baby Lane's life was also taken and that the killer deserves to deal with the consequences. We have to do this for our future Mom's and their babies. We will be working now towards that end.
I will post more information as it becomes available.
With my heartfelt appreciation to all.
Mary Talbot

Some Limits Needed
My sister's letter in the Ottawa Citizen today

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,
