Human Rights Monument on Elgin Street

Abortion is the greatest human rights abuse of our day. Meanwhile, since 1988 there have been no laws in Canada restricting abortion. In Canada, tax-payers spend an estimated $80 million a year on this elective, medically unnecessary procedure. Over 4 million Canadian infants have died from abortion since 1969.

Here's an interesting quote from the first fetologist, Sir William Liley, on the irrreconcilable antinomy between fetology and the abortion ethic:

"Our generation is the first ever to have a reasonably complete picture of the development of the human being from conception. In 1930 the liberation of a human egg from the ovary was observed. In 1944 through a microscope was seen the union of the human sperm and ovum. In the 1950s the events of the first six days of life were described, those critical first steps in a prodigious journey.

For a generation which reputedly prefers scientific fact to barren philosophy, we might have thought that this new information would engender a new respect for the welfare and appreciation of the importance of intra-uterine life.

Instead, around the world we find a systematic campaign clamoring for the destruction of the embryo and fetus as a cure-all for every social and personal problem. I, for one, find it a bitter irony that just when the embryo and fetus arrive on the medical scene there should be such sustained pressure to make him or her a social nonentity."
