Time to consider restrictions on abortions?
The Daily News (Truro), 23 May 2007
 

To stay silent about abortion will only allow the tragedy to continue and also the many problems that follow.

Why are our 13 and 14-year-old girls having abortions and what can we do to help them?

Why are our young boys sexually active and yet completely incapable of dealing with the results?

Why are we not giving more help to those women who have had abortions so that they are not upset with the pro life message and may continue to contribute with their talents to our society and, just as important, to get on with their lives?

Why are women having more than one abortion which leads one to speculate that this may be used as a form of birth control?

Why do we continue to have abortion on demand and yet every poll in the last number of years shows that the majority of Canadians favour some restrictions?

More than 65 per cent of Canadians want to see some restrictions placed on abortion access, according to Environics poll results over the past several years. (Life Canada News, January/February 2007 - NS Abortion Activists Threaten Lawsuit)

Why are we not demanding that our precious health dollars go to protect life?

Why are we ignoring the latest scientific discoveries about life in the womb?

Who and when defined abortion as a medical necessity?

In the last 10 years more than a million Canadians have been denied life.

Do we really have the right to remain silent about this?
