Following the private member bill M-312, which was introduced by MP Stephen Woodworth to explore the question of when human life begins, many of the mainstream news media have renewed their focus on the abortion issue.

CTV News is asking it's audience: Should the government re-open the abortion debate? and the CBC is asking: Should Canada reopen the debate on when human life begins?

MELBOURNE, Australia, November 23, 2011

An Australian mother expecting twin boys was told by doctors one of the babies had a serious congenital heart defect and she decided to have him aborted. She had already named her two boys; however surgeons on Tuesday tragically killed the healthy twin by a lethal injection into the heart. The mother then had an emergency caesarean section and the sick child was terminated in a three-hour operation.

The Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne would not confirm details, but said in a statement: "The Royal Women's Hospital can confirm a distressing clinical accident occurred on Tuesday.This is a terrible tragedy and the hospital is deeply sorry for the loss suffered by the patient and her family. We are conducting a full investigation and continue to offer the family and affected staff every support."

Hospital sources said the ultrasound clinician performed the procedure because "she looks at ultrasounds all day". Nevertheless, she made a mistake which had fatal consequences for two baby boys and left a family heartbroken.

The Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne apologized by claiming that “the ultrasound clinician checked three times before the “termination” because she didn't want to make a mistake. But if the hospital said it had followed correct procedure, then how on earth could this happen? Was the mother pressured into aborting the sick child rather than letting nature take its course?

This horrific accident once again underscores the fact that there is no such thing as a “safe abortion” which is really nothing but a thinly veiled euphemism for the murder of an innocent child.

The Herald Sun now believes the family is considering legal action against the Hospital.

A B.C. woman, Gloria Taylor, who suffers from ALS is asking the B.C. Supreme Court to overturn Canada's laws and grant her wish to a doctor-assisted suicide.

Following the article on the CBC News website, the broadcaster is asking in a poll if "Canadians should have the legal right to an assisted suicide". If you love life as much as me, please vote no in this CBC opinion poll. 

Tomorrow, November 8th, Mississipi voters will be called to vote on Amendment 26 to the U.S. Constitution, also called the "Mississippi Personhood Amendment". It would define life as beginning at the moment of fertilization, effectively outlawing the abortion procedure.

In an interview with The Christian Post, "Yes on 26" Executive Director Brad Prewitt said that the amendment dealt with issues beyond the abortion debate. “Personhood is bigger than your typical pro-life versus abortion,” said Prewitt, who added that it was “not just saying no to abortion, but yes to life.”

Planned Parenthood, who vehemently opposes the "Mississippi Personhood Amendment", is using misinformation and scare tactics to fool Mississippi voters into believing that if they voted yes to Amendment 26, all birth control would subsequently become outlawed. However, nothing could be further from the truth. This lie has been thoroughly debunked by the "YesOn26" campaign.

Bill C-510, An Act to Prevent Coercion of Pregnant Women to Abortion, also known as Roxanne’s Law, was deemed by The Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs as not designated as non-votable on October 19^th. This passing of this very important stage means that the bill, which will criminalize the act of coercing or attempting to coerce a woman into having an unwanted abortion, will proceed to its first scheduled hour of debate at Second Reading on Monday, November 1^st. This powerful, pro-woman and pro-life bill is named in honour of Roxanne Fernando, who was violently killed by her boyfriend after refusing to abort their child. C-510 was introduced by Winnipeg MP Rod Bruinooge. Mr. Bruinooge said the bill would only make it a crime to “coerce or attempt to coerce” a woman to have an abortion against her will. The Prime Minister’s Office was quick, however, to squelch any thought they would support C-510. “The government will not support the bill,” Harper spokesman Andrew MacDougall said in an interview. “Our Conservative government will not initiate or support any legislation that opens the abortion debate.” Because of the importance of this bill, 4 MY CANADA, a Christian Evangelical organization, is calling upon all Christians to stand united during two days of prayer and fasting (Sunday and Monday) to plead God's divine favour on MP Rod Bruinooge and the debate that is taking place in the House of Commons on Monday, November 1st. Below is a video that was aired on 100 Huntley Street, a Christian TV talk show, which explains the issues at stake, featuring interviews with MP Rodney Bruinooge and the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC).

This is a powerful new video on YouTube which raises awareness regarding the humanity of the (yet) unborn child. The video, in very simple terms, highlights the four ways the unborn child is different from a human being already born, and goes on to explain how these do not justify the killing of the unborn. It ends with a call to stand up for the unborn who cannot speak for themselves.
