445 babies saved from abortion thanks to free ‘Bella’ movie, popcorn
GREEN BAY, Wisconsin, January 12, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com)
– A pro-life organization has a novel strategy to reach out to a woman
who is thinking of aborting her baby. The plan consists in handing out a
‘night at the movies’ that includes free popcorn, candy, and yes, a
free DVD. The strategy has already saved the lives of 445 babies, says
the group.
Bella HERO,
a non-profit organization, views it as their mission to provide for
free what they call the “powerful life-changing” film Bella to any
pregnancy care centre that wants it. The program, launched in 2008 by
Jason Jones, the producer of the awarding winning film Bella, has as its
goal to give the pro-life movie to any woman with an unplanned
pregnancy so as to help her in making what the pro-life organization
calls “the most important decision in her life.”
P.E.I.'s Abortion Problem: So Much for the Coat Hanger
"For weeks now, national news organizations have been breathlessly
covering a handful of abortion advocates referring to themselves as
“reproductive freedom fighters” and their fight to bring abortion access
to Prince Edward Island. The Guardian, the Globe and Mail, The National Post,
and the CBC are all eagerly quoting every word uttered by the abortion
advocates, excited to finally have protestors on the “pro-choice” side
of the issue with things to say. However, CBC News inadvertently
published an article citing complaints from these Prince Edward Island
abortion advocates which interestingly debunks two of the abortion
movement’s central claims."

Saving some is not a compromise
Why is it that this year alone over 80 laws have been passed in the
United States restricting abortion and yet in Canada we have not been
able to pass one law in over 20 years? It is easy to dish out the
blame: It’s our secular society! The Supreme Court! Our gutless
politicians! Pierre Trudeau! Stephen Harper! The evil mainstream media! …
and so on. But an honest analysis will reveal that at least part of the
problem lies with us – the pro-life movement in Canada. Read the rest of the article
‘loneliness,’ ‘fatigue’ now criteria for euthanasia in Netherlands
UTRECHT, Netherlands, October 24, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Royal Dutch Medical Association (KNMG) has released new guidelines for interpreting the 2002 Euthanasia Act
that now includes “mental and psychosocial ailments” such as “loss of
function, loneliness and loss of autonomy” as acceptable criteria for
euthanasia. The guidelines also allow doctors to connect a patient’s
lack of “social skills, financial resources and a social network” to
“unbearable and lasting suffering,” opening the door to legal assisted
death based on “psychosocial” factors, not terminal illness.
The June 2011 position paper, titled “The Role of the Physician in
the Voluntary Termination of Life” concludes that the “concept of
suffering” is “broader” than its “interpretation and application by many
physicians today.”
Included in a broader interpretation of suffering would be “disorders
affecting vision, hearing and mobility, falls, confinement to bed,
fatigue, exhaustion and loss of fitness,” according to the authors.
