children was permissible, but as out civilization has aged, it
seems that such acts were no longer acceptable by rational human
beings, so that in 1948, Canada along with most other nations in
the world signed a declaration of the United Nations promising
every human being the right to life. The World Medical
Association meeting in Geneve at the same time, stated that the
utmost respect for human life was to be from the moment of
conception. This declaration was re-affirmed when the World
Medical Association met in Oslo in 1970. Should we go backwards
in our concern for the life of an individual human being?
The unborn human is still a human life and not all the
wishful thinking of those advocating repeal of abortion laws, can
alter this. Those of us who would seek to protect the human who
is still to small to cry aloud for it's own protection, have been
accused of having a 19th Century approach to life in the last
third of the 20th Century. But who in reality is using arguments
of a bygone Century? It is an incontrovertible fact of biological
science - Make no Mistake - that from the moment of conception, a

counties, women who have a previous induced abortion have their
ability to bear children in the future permanently impaired. Rape is a detestable crime, but no
sane reasoning can place the slightest blame on the unborn child
it might produce. We have been told by the media that
the majority of Canadians wish to have abortion legalized but the
latest census taken by the Toronto Star in March of 1989 reports
that 35% of those polled thought that abortion was already easy
to obtain, 26% thought it too hard, 19% about right and 21% had
no opinion. Can we choose death for
another while life is all we ourselves know? Methods are being
developed to diagnose certain defects in the infants of mothers
at risk before the infant is born. No, repealing the abortion law does not
make it possible for every women to safely eliminate, what is for
her, an unwanted pregnancy. Should we really
leave the right to hijack as a personal decision only?
Those campaigning for further liberalization of the abortion
law, hope to make abortion available and safe for all who wish it
during a pregnancy. In
Canada as reported in the Canadian Medical Association Journal
(the Statistics from Statistics Canada), the complication rate
and this being for immediate complications of early abortion is
4.
Abortion on demand a women's right to choose not to continue
an unplanned pregnancy would prevent there being unwanted
children in this country, so we are told. It is a
permissive and frightened society that does not develop the
expertise to control population, civil disorder, crime, poverty,
even its own sexuality but yet would mount an uncontrolled,
repeat uncontrolled, destructive attack on the defenceless, very
beginnings of life. Nobody here or in
Canada, wants there to be unwanted children in this city, and in
this country, and also in this world. His whole heritage is forever fixed.
Patients now go into the office through the front door
instead of the rear. He swims, he grasps a
pointer, he moves freely, he excretes urine.
Those seeking repeal of the present abortion law will
rapidly point out that nevertheless, it is safer to have a legal
abortion than illegal abortions, safer for the women that is.
