Nova Scotia : Province Of The Dead

Nova Scotia has had more babies aborted than the populations of Bedford,Sackville and Truro combined...


Julie Culshaw writes:

Sixty Thousand and counting! That's the number of babies that have been aborted in the tiny province of Nova Scotia between 1970 and 2004. For some reason, this doesn't even appear on the radar of any of our political leaders and, if you tell them, they simply ignore the statement. Yet, they are concerned with creating jobs, providing health care, looking after seniors' care, programs funded by grants, on and on, without ever once considering that all of these things require tax-payers to fund them.

With fewer and fewer people actually being born, where do they think these taxes are going to come from? I heard an alderman last week saying that we had to do something in this province to attract Maritimers to return here, to reverse the flow of workers to central and western Canada searching for work. Never is there a mention of the declining birth rate and one simple thing that could be done to help reverse that: strongly advise women against abortion.

Hello? anyone paying attention to the number of births in the province? Stats Canada shows that in 2007, there were 8868 babies born in Nova Scotia with approximately 1700 abortions for the same year. Nova Scotia is the province with the second highest percentage of elderly people, as those who should have babies aren't, and the percentage of the population that can actually have babies is decreasing...

Love Conquers Pain

A moving commentary on the death of David and Samantha Cameron's son Ivan, who died suddenly after a short , challenging life is posted here by Bruce Anderson.

(David Cameron is the Leader of the Opposition in the UK.)



'Love Conquering Pain' is a Christian theme, not understood easily by non-believers, and that lack of comprehension is the reason for the British Parliaments' inability to acknowledge the supremacy of life over convenience, desire, fear, or cost.

Without Love, human life does not have any 'inherent' value, and is totally vulnerable to the whims and ambitions of politicians.

R.I.P. Father Richard John Neuhaus

Fr. Richard John Neuhaus passed away this morning.

Joseph Bottum, Editor "First Things"

.....I weep, rather for all the rest of us. As a priest, as a writer, as a public leader in so many struggles, and as a friend, no one can take his place. The fabric of life has been torn by his death, and it will not be repaired, for those of us who knew him, until that time when everything is mended and all our tears are wiped away...

Pete Wehner

...The death of Father Neuhaus is a terrible blow. Not for him, who is now united with his Savior and his Redeemer, in whom Father Neuhaus placed all of his trust and all of his hope; but for us, who have lost one of America's leading public intellectuals, a man of profound wisdom and learning, and a great champion for the unborn. It was Father Neuhaus, along with his dear, long-time friend George Weigel and just a handful of others like Michael Novak, who not only championed the pro-life cause for so many years, but who gave the rest of us both the grounding and the vocabulary to speak on this issue...

Steven Ertelt, Editor "LifeNews.com"

...His influence was so great on the president [Bush] that his catch-phrase of "welcoming unborn children into life and protecting them under law" became Bush's standard line any time he referenced pro-life matters.

That influence was noted as Time magazine, in 2005, hailed Father Neuhaus as one of the top 25 most influential religious leaders in America. Bush, himself, credited with Neuhaus as "helping me articulate these [religious] things.”...

John Allen

...To Catholic insiders, however, it was Neuhaus’ writing rather than his political activism that made him a celebrity. From the pages of First Things, the unapologetically high-brow journal he founded in 1990, Neuhaus kept up a steady stream of commentary on matters both sacred and secular....

...Over the years, even people who disagreed with Neuhaus’ politics or theology would devour his monthly essay in First Things, titled “The Public Square,” for sheer literary pleasure. His combination of epigrammatic formulae and occasionally biting satire often reminded fans of English-language Catholic luminaries of earlier eras, such as G.K. Chesterton or Cardinal John Henry Newman...

I became aware of Fr. Neuhaus one summer when my mother received five years worth of 'First Things' issues. I read every issue cover to cover, saving 'Public Square' for dessert! Through his magazine I came to know how much more there was to know about my faith, and was introduced to many solid thinkers both Protestant and Catholic.

I thank him for expanding my Christian world and improving my library, but most of all I thank Fr. Richard John Neuhaus for his loving service to the Lord, his strong voice of reason and his love for all mankind - especially the unborn.

Not spilt like water on the ground,
Not wrapped in dreamless sleep profound,
Not wandering in unknown despair
Beyond thy voice, thine arm, thy care;
Not left to lie like fallen tree;
Not dead, but living unto thee.

(Sir Joseph Barnby, 1871 - Burial Hymn)

The Dead Zone

LifeSiteNews

The Australian Parliamentary Group on Population and Development has been slammed by Queensland Senator Ron Boswell for holding to Nazi-style eugenic ideology on the abortion of disabled children.

“This revisiting of eugenics principles is repugnant to a society that prides itself on the contribution of all,” Boswell said.

The pro-abortion group had made a submission, signed by 41 Australian MPs, to the parliamentary committee that is examining the issue of abortion in Australia. The group said paying women a Medicare rebate for second-trimester abortions would save the government about $180,000 a year, due to the high costs of caring for handicapped babies who are allowed to be born.

Removing the abortion rebate, the group said, would place “emotional, physical, mental, and financial stress on families, denying women and couples the right to decide if they are equipped to raise a child with disabilities.”

According to Christian Today, so far 7 of the MPs whose names were affixed to the submission have disowned its statements about abortion and handicapped children.

Boswell heavily criticised the submission, saying that its “underlying premise” is based on eugenic principles that governments should prefer to kill the disabled rather than support them. He said it holds that “some lives are worth less than others because they will cost too much to support.”

“This is the kind of thinking that was typical of the Hitler regime. They set themselves up as judge of who deserved to live and who deserves to die.”

In the period leading up to the Second World War, the Nazi government of Germany began to implement its eugenics policies, meant to “cleanse” the German people of undesirable “racial traits.” This meant in practice the killing of those children, and later, adults, considered by the state to be genetically defective. Thousands of children and adults who suffered from mental and physical disabilities were starved and gassed to death and killed by lethal injection.

More recently, the utilitarian eugenics movement has gained popularity in scientific circles that propose to eliminate undesirable traits by killing those unborn babies, and, increasingly, newborns, who are found to be genetically deficient. Utilitarian philosophers and bioethicists like Princeton University’s Peter Singer, openly advocate for the killing of disabled children in the womb and as newborns.

Currently the abortion rate for babies with Down syndrome is estimated to be as high as 95% in many Western countries, indicating that modern utilitarian eugenics is already being implemented on a widespread scale.

(Is it that the original settlers were condemned criminals and they're trying to keep the genetics 'pure'....or do they just want to keep most of the Australian land mass totally unpopulated?)

"Dying Of Hopelessness"

Ottawa Citizen:

... a non-religious case to be made against assisted suicide, and it gets stronger the closer one looks at the Oregon experiment, as a team of Oregon psychiatrists recently did. Beginning in 2006, the psychiatrists started interviewing patients who wanted to make use of the assisted suicide legislation. They discovered that one in four patients had undiagnosed clinical depression.

In most places, people who express a desire to die are evaluated for depression, and receive treatment for it. In places where assisted suicide is practised, such patients might instead receive a fatal dose of barbiturates. The researchers discovered that in 2007, not one "of the people who died by lethal ingestion in Oregon had been evaluated by a psychiatrist or a psychologist."

This secular case against assisted suicide is that assisted suicide discriminates against the sick and disabled. If an able-bodied woman tells her family that she's suicidal, they will surely intervene with psychiatric help. But if a wheelchair-bound woman with Lou Gehrig's disease tells her family the same thing, they might assume, based on social prejudices about disabilities, that the request was a sensible one...

"Suicide Is A Human Right"

Along with the right to kill a child, the right to shelter, the right to food, the right to an honest wage, the right to extra rights if we're gay or female, the right to own property (do we still have that one?) and the right to life itself. Wait a minute, cross out LIFE. We don't have the right to LIFE.

If we don't have the right to LIFE itself, I guess the other 'human rights' aren't going to cause any self-concerned, secular humanist too much grief. Fewer people, fewer demands on our humanity. More time for myself. Progress.

In the name of 'progress' we are telling people who aren't up to scratch, that we don't mind if they 'off' themselves. Its a 'win-win'. They don't have to 'suffer' through their problems towards a solution or a dignified death in God's reconciliatory time, and we don't have to care about them after they're dead. 'Win-win'. In fact, they have a 'human right'(read OBLIGATION) to kill themselves. They don't have the 'right' to be born, but they have a 'right' to kill themselves. We're consistent. We go for death at both ends. Since that's our goal, it only makes sense that we should make it as easy as possible for those selfishly demanding defectives to 'choose' to employ their right of self-annihilation. Let's give them drugs. We don't want to have to clean up anything, do we.

(Note to self: Do not seek medical care in Europe!)

The truth is, we don't have the right to create or destroy life. LIFE is God's domain. Entirely. Today's society will reap the rewards of ignoring lessons from past
degenerates. We're going down. Sounds apocalyptic, and what could be more apocalyptic than the murder of 45,000,000 + Americans in the last 35 years? (OOOOOOOBama....15,000,000 of those were black!)

Election PS - If you're with Obama, don't like babies or Americans anyway, please go to Europe for the very best of socialist healthcare. They are your kind of people. (Maybe you could go now....?)

Canada loses...

It was predictable, since none of the parties has any idea about what makes a worthwhile issue (ARTS!!?). Harper is in as PM. WHOOEE! Nothing will change in my area of interest, since it is profoundly NOT his area of interest, being annoyingly about politically incendiary things like freedom and the value of a human life. But then, how could one expect a quintessentially CANADIAN PM to be a deep thinker on matters of life and death? Canadians are secular to the core. Its all about surviving for another day, what's good in my life, and patting myself on the back for sending smiley face messages on facebook, liking artists and paying taxes like a good citizen who doesn't want to think about LIFE AND DEATH!(I like artists too- just not more than LIFE itself!)

Meanwhile, back in the trenches, the 'annoying' people out there who have faithfully voted conservatively to protect their families from a degenerating society, are spending their time ACTUALLY fighting for freedom, and for HUMAN LIFE. And having copious numbers of children. Sooner or later the numbers will be in our favour. People who talk about LIFE AND DEATH with their kids, end up with 33(and counting) grandchildren (like my parents). These future Canadians, if not jailed and persecuted by gov't agencies or force fed filth in public schools (although an impressive number of them homeschool...) these people WILL change Canada in a way HArper can't even conceive (pun). They will win the battle to FREE CANADA and PROTECT HUMAN LIFE. Canada will be finally a great and wonderful country, instead of a 'Euro' wanna-be.

I'm looking forward to that day. I'm taking care of my health in anticipation. I know MY grandchildren will care whether I LIVE OR DIE. (I know I will have copious numbers of them...) and I know something a great many Canadians don't- God loves kids, and He has already won!

Obama's Priorities - NOT PRESIDENTIAL

Obama's priorities seem a little more like those of a lobbyist for radical left ideology than like those of a president...

LIFE - Palin, DEATH - Obama

Sarah Palin speaks in Johnstown, Pennsylvania :

..In this same spirit, as defenders of the culture of life, John McCain and I believe in the goodness and potential of every innocent life. I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child?

When I learned that my son Trig would have special needs, I had to prepare my heart for the challenges to come. At first I was scared, and Todd and I had to ask for strength and understanding. But I can tell you a few things I’ve learned already.

Yes, every innocent life matters. Everyone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to contribute to the world, if we give them that chance. There are the world’s standards of perfection … and then there are God’s, and these are the final measure. Every child is beautiful before God, and dear to Him for their own sake...

...It’s hard to think of many issues that could possibly be more important than who is protected in law and who isn’t – who is granted life and who is denied it. So when our opponent, Senator Obama, speaks about questions of life, I listen very carefully.

I listened when he defended his unconditional support for unlimited abortions. He said that a woman shouldn’t have to be – quote – “punished with a baby.” He said that right here in Johnstown –“punished with a baby” – and it’s about time we called him on it. The more I hear from Senator Obama, the more I understand why he is so vague and evasive on the subject. Americans need to see his record for what it is. It’s not negative or mean-spirited to talk to about his record. Whatever party you belong to, there are facts you need to know...

King of Death - Canadian Hero

Barbara Kay:

Abortion czar Dr Henry Morgentaler will be receiving his Order of Canada in a quiet little ceremony in Quebec City today. The typical OC is inducted in Ottawa amongst his or her peers. So it is fitting that Dr Morgentaler's should be in Quebec, where the abortion rate is double that of the rest of Canada, and therefore the least likely place in Canada to draw a large protest. Ah well, just one more symbolic displacement from the centre of Canadian life for the peripatetic abortionist.

Dr. Morgentaler was born in Poland. By coincidence CNN has been running a series this week, Eye on Poland, which offers "wide-ranging reports on this complex country tackling a time of transition; from Warsaw to Sopot, to Gdansk, Krakow and Lodz." The series has much to say about the country' history, economy, political progress, arts and so forth. But thanks to information I received via Vancouver medical researcher Brent Rooney, who focuses on premature risk factors, here is a little known fact about Poland that is unlikely to be aired on CNN: Since 1995, Poland's extreme preterm birth rate (XPT) per 100 live births has plummeted by 98% ...

...While the Polish XPT rate has dropped by 21% between 1980-2006, the U.S. preterm birth rate has escalated by 44%. The reason for Poland's "preemie miracle" can be found in the induced abortion rates for the corresponding years. In 1989 Poland instituted a very restrictive abortion law. In the next four years induced abortion rates went down by 98% per 100 live births. Opponents of the law predicted a health disaster. But not only did the preterm rate decrease, maternal mortality also declined by 41% according to studies reflecting rates from 1995-97, while infant mortality decreased by 25%. You can check out the uncontested research link between "prior first trimester induced abortion" as an "immutable medical risk factor associated with preterm birth" here.

...................................................................

So Thanks Dr. Morgentaler. You are certainly a hero of women's health in Canada. I can certainly understand why the Governor General went out of her way to support your honour as a Canadian hero. I can certainly understand why the media has made such an effort to promote your heroic deeds.

NOT. Most Emphatically NOT!!

In all of Canadian history, no man has been MORE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CANADIAN DEATHS than Dr. Henry Morgentaler. The King of Death. Canada's most prolific mass murderer. Champion of baby deaths and women's sterility.

The ORDER of CANADA retains NO WORTH. And Canada is a dupe of genocidal proportions.
