"I call heaven and
earth today to witness against you. I have set before you life and
death, the blessing and the curse.
Choose life . . ." (Deut 30: 19)
Dear Friends of Life:
In 1969, the
Liberal Government of Pierre Trudeau passed the infamous
"therapeutic abortion law", DRAMATICALLY OPENING UP ACCESS TO
ABORTION. In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada took abortion out of
the Criminal Code, making it LEGAL FOR ALL NINE MONTHS of pregnancy.
Since then, it
has been proven over and over again that "ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR
EVIL TO FLOURISH IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING."
APATHY is the
most frightening enemy the unborn and other vulnerable people can
have. So apathy is what we have to confront and defeat.
INDIFFERENCE is a
difficult issue to overcome. It takes much sustained and
hard-hitting effort to shake the apathetic out of a comfortable
"someone else will handle it" outlook on the sanctity of
life. Complacency has no place in our communities when human life
is at stake.
