New FOI reveals even less evidence for abortion bubble zone

Remember I told you about the police reports at 65 Bank St. for 2014 to June 2017? There were 64 incidents in 41 months. That's 1.56 incidents per month. Of those 64 incidents, there were no injuries and no charges laid.

Today I received more information from the police reports. This time for 2010-2013. There were 113 incidents in 48 months. That's 2.35 incident per month. Out of those 113 incidents, there were--once again--no injuries and no charges laid.

This means that in the most recent period (2014 to June, 2017), the number of police reports have actually decreased by 33.6% from the previous three year period (2010 to 2013).

So why do we need a bubble zone at all?

Also remember that the abortion bubble zone law is a direct result of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson who discriminates against pro-life people. Watson initiated this law. Watson also took down our pro-life flag at city hall during the March for Life. Watson also refused to respond to my repeated requests for an explanation for why our March for Life was rerouted so 100 masked thugs could divert 14,000 peaceful people.

I guess we could call Ottawa the abortion capital of the world:

• No protection for life and no protection for the rights of those who defend life
• Justin Trudeau is the most pro-abortion federal leader ever
• Kathleen Wynne and Patrick Brown are the most pro-abortion provincial leaders ever. I guess you could say two for the price of one
• And now we can add Jim Watson as the most pro-abortion mayor ever

China and North Korea have nothing on Canada. How embarrassing.

Pro-life man is called to do God's will

A lovely testament to Life. This man, Paul Caron, witnesses daily at the Morgentaler abortion clinic in Ottawa.

His sign reads "Why must the child die?



Thanks to Donald Andre Bruneau--who is also a staunch witness to life--for the video.

Abortion: doesn't protect children

Paul Lauzon took this video at the Ottawa abortion clinic at 65 Bank St. in Ottawa. It's how we dispose of aborted children in Canada. In plastic pails hauled off in the back of a truck. This is what is on the truck: "Stericycle Protecting People. Reducing Risk."

Kind of ironic. Abortion does anything but protecting and reducing the risk to very small people.

Where does Stericycle go and what is done with the remains of these slaughtered children? Unknown.

March for Life 2015 - more pictures

I know this is a bit late, but a friend of mine took a lot of pictures at the March of Life this year.

I've only posted a small percentage of them below.

Starting at Parliament Hill, down Elgin St., over to Bank St. and finally going past the Morgentaler abortuary at 65 Bank St.

 

Reproductive Justice in NB - not for the unborn

Morgentaler's old Fredericton clinic to reopen as private abortion facility

Medical abortions done in Ottawa

I've done some further digging into the three Ottawa clinics that will do medical abortions.

All I've been able to come up with is the Shirely E Greenberg Women's Health Centre at the Riverside Hospital, the Morgentaler clinic on Bank St. and The Ottawa General hospital Civic campus.

No surprises there.

I have a feeling there are more clinics (as opposed to hospital settings) that do medical abortions in Ottawa. I'll keep looking.

Abortion gets priority over all other health problems

New Brunswick Medical Society calls for abortion access plan

"The New Brunswick Medical Society is calling on the provincial government to develop a plan to make sure there are no barriers to access abortion in the province, but says the contentious two-doctor rule isn’t the problem." 

The recent closure of the private Morgentaler Clinic in Fredericton has led activists to call for the repeal of regulation 84-20 of the New Brunswick Medical Services Payment Act. It stipulates that abortions are paid for only if they are performed in one of two approved hospitals after being deemed medically necessary by two physicians. 

"It's the same as any other health issue,” said Dr. Camille Haddad, the society’s president-elect. 

Haddad says any procedure requires a referral from a family doctor and a consultation with a specialist.

"It's a decision between those two people, a family doctor and the woman, and the specialist and that's it,” he said. (all emphasis mine)

I currently have a pre-cancerous skin problem on my face. I've seen my GP multiple times about it. She has now referred me to see a dermatologist and I have to wait five weeks for an appointment. Do you think I can just waltz into the dermatologist's office without a referral? Of course not. Do you think I can just waltz into his office without waiting those five weeks that I have to wait? Of course not. What about my access to a dermatologist?

Why do women expect to have access to an abortion--a completely discretionary procedure--without having to see any doctors at all? Why do they expect (I should say demand) this and I have to follow the defined process just like everyone else?

There are access problems and wait times for all medical procedures in Canada. Our health care system is sick. I just can't figure out why the abortion procedure always gets such special treatment over every other health issue.

Thanks Premier David Alward

Protests and crowd-funding can’t prevent N.B. Morgentaler clinic from performing final abortions

I think what the government is doing in New Brunswick is very courageous. The Morgentaler abortion clinic is closing, and the government won't budge.

"...By law, a woman in New Brunswick who wants an abortion covered by medicare must have two doctors certify in writing that it is medically necessary and the procedure must be carried out by a specialist in one of two approved hospitals. Once the clinic closes, those two hospitals will be the only facilities in the province where abortions will be provided...

...The government has consistently held by its position that there is no need for change because women will still have access to abortions that are medically necessary and approved by two physicians."

New Brunswick, like all provinces, has jurisdiction over their own health care. They deem what is medically necessary and what isn't. They have put in place the criteria regarding medical necessity for abortions, and are sticking by it.

Other provinces could do the same. If they weren't so gutless. Which they are. They'd prefer to run with the pro-abortion herd, instead of asking themselves what is better for our society and our children.

Thank you Premier Mr. David Alward for having a mind of your own and not blindly joining the pack.

Maybe you'd like to thank the premier. I will.

Challenging the extremes

Thank goodness we have a national pro-life group (weneedaLAW.ca) that is always active, on the move, stirring things up, and telling us what they're doing while they're at it.

For instance check out Faye Sonier's legal perspective on the closing of the Morgentaler clinic in New Brunswick.

At the end of the piece Faye has a line that should make the pro-abortions flinch:

"Those who lament the closing of this abortion clinic call themselves "pro-choice." Indeed, "choice" is the governing principle of their movement. "My body, my choice" is the best known slogan. Perhaps they do not realize the conundrum. For if abortion is truly a personal choice, how on earth can it also be medically necessary?"

Indeed. So how do the pro-abortions reconcile "choice" with "medical necessity"? They don't. Because if you choose to have an abortion, then what could be medically necessary about it? And if an abortion is medically necessary, there isn't really a choice at all, is there? Just don't confuse the pro-abortions with the facts, I guess. They might get a headache.

Take action by sending this email to government officials in New Brunswick and Ottawa.

And We Need a Law has also done a great position paper on gestational abortion legislation. It is a logical, coherent and moral analysis on the state of abortion legislation in Canada:

The difference between Legal, Decriminalized and Regulated abortion, & why we support Gestational Limits

The paper ends with a challenge to those who don't agree with gestational legislation, inviting them to explain why:

"...gestational limits would not legalize abortion because it already is legal. We've also argued that saving some does not condone the death of those we cannot yet save. And we've tried to show that all pro-lifers already support legislative efforts that will protect only some children (in this case, the children of poor mothers). 

We want to conclude with a challenge. If you think we are wrong, please address these points one by one and explain why. Be specific. Please show how abortion in Canada is, in any sense, not already completely legal right now. Show how a gestational limit that will protect only some differs morally from a defunding effort that will protect only some. And explain why those who saved Jewish children weren't condoning the death of their parents (who they couldn't save), but today when we try to save some pre-born children (via a gestational limit) we are supposedly condoning the death of the children we aren't able to save.

The truth is whatever you say it is

This is truly frightening. Ruth Farquhar in the Sudbury Star on the closing of the Morgentaler clinic in New Brunswick:

"The New Brunswick government is clearly, from a legal standpoint, in violation of the Canada Health Act. According to a letter addressed to federal Minister of Health Rona Ambrose from NDP Health Critic Libby Davis and NDP Critic of the Status of Women Niki Ashton, "under the Canada Health Act, the provincial and territorial health insurance plans are required to provide coverage for their residents for all medically necessary hospital and physician services. Abortion services have been determined to be medically necessary by all provincial and territorial health insurance plans." And of course, they ask the minister to intervene."

A legal standpoint? What is she talking about? There is no violation of the Canada Health Act (CHA) here.

Why am I reminded of that saying, if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth, and you will even come to believe it yourself? (frequently attributed to Dr. Josef Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda or to Adolf Hitler himself)

Ms. Farquahr quotes these MPs who think that the CHA requires that abortions must be publicly funded because they have been "deemed to be medically necessary by all provincial and territorial health insurance plans."

Does Ms. Farquahr think these MPs are some kind of expert on the topic? Because they are not. In fact, Ms. Ashton and Ms. Davies are wrong. And Ms. Farqhar is perpetuating this falsehood by repeating it in her article.

You see, the CHA leaves it up to the provinces to decide what is and what is not "medically necessary." And New Brunswick, through Regulation 84-20 of the Medical Services Payment Act, has "deemed" abortion not to be a "medically required" service "unless the abortion is performed by a specialist in the field of obstetrics and gynaecology in a hospital facility approved by the jurisdiction in which the hospital facility is located and two medical practitioners certify in writing that the abortion was medically required."

To say that all provinces have deemed abortion to be "medically necessary" is clearly not true.

I have no problem with an open and honest debate about the public funding of abortion. In fact, I along with many others would love to have a debate on how our health care dollars should be spent and whether abortion should take priority over say, the drug kalydeco for cystic fibrosis, avastin for people with brain tumours, the PSA tests for men, certain eye exams necessary to prevent blindness, and psychologist services--to name only a few unfunded medical treatments in Ontario.

What makes abortion so noble, that it should be paid for with scarce tax dollars when people who need life saving drugs are not paid for?

Yes by all means let's debate what our tax dollars should cover, and what they shouldn't cover. But it must be an honest debate. No one--no matter what their views on abortion are--should resort to deception to make their case.

Closure of Morgentaler clinic is great news

MP Niki Ashton isn't happy that the Morgentaler abortion clinic in New Brunswick is closing.

Too bad for Ashton. Too good for preborn babies.

Ashton says that:

"This is a matter of life or death for women across the Maritimes...There should be no place in Canada where a woman's health is compromised because of a failure to provide access...More over, by imposing these restrictions it compromises women's health...Now these women no longer have access to health services that other Canadians have access to. It is time to address the gender inequality that exists when it comes to health care services available in Canada."

It always amazes me how the pro-abortions equate abortions with health care. What exactly, is healthy about killing human beings? Abortion is not a medically necessary procedure. It's not medically necessary for the woman, and it's not medically necessary for the child.

In most cases abortion is psychologically, emotionally and physically harmful to women. In 100% of the cases, abortion is fatally harmful to the preborn child.

And because abortion isn't medically necessary, it should never be funded by taxpayers. New Brunswick has it right.

Any money saved from the closure of Morgentaler's clinic, could be put to far better use supporting crisis pregnancy centres, including beefing up adoption support.

I'd like to see the rest of Canada follow suit.
