Loretta Westin, on Contraception and peace of mind:
For stress free contraception, don’t. Get married, learn about your body, practice NFP with your spouse. Be open to life.
Stress free.

Tamara M, on The conscience of a nation:
I think I want to vomit and/or cry, I’m not sure which one will come first though. How can she have so little respect for life, and for her own body? She seems very out of touch with reality, so consumed by her drive for ’self expression’ and ‘art’. I hope somebody refers her to a psychologist.

Marion, on Contraception and peace of mind:
60 to 70 percent of non-compliant hormonal contraception users feel worried. Which makes sense, as non-compliant use decreases the efficacy. If used as directed, then there should be no worry.

Nicole, on The conscience of a nation:
Interesting, I looked at the comments and found a lot of pro-choicers outraged at the display. Little by little there is room for unification really, if we keep finding these cases where the morality is blatantly clear. It’s so gruesome I can’t even think about it. I once saw a woman pull out a fetus from her brown handbag (at the York debate actually). This is so much worse.

Adlyn, on Ladies, do you know what your bodies can do?:
I completely agree with you about childbirth being part of a women’s dignity.

Loretta Westin, on Ladies, do you know what your bodies can do?:
“A mother is the most important person on earth. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any Cathedral — a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body”. ( Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty)

Frank Ruffolo, on Two types of abortion supporters:
In Webster’s American Dictionary it states conception is the act of conceiving; the thing conceived; the beginning of pregnancy.
In other words it ceases to be potential the moment a woman conceives because it is the beginning of pregnancy which is the beginning of life at conception. Life has begun the moment of conception and it can only be stopped if you kill it.
Abortions of the unborn are not killing potential but life itself after conception.

John R. Sutherland, on Two types of abortion supporters:
People use all kinds of definitions of when human life is to be legitimately acknowledged. For someone like Henry Morgentaler, it’s viability. For China’s government, it’s number (a maximum of one child). For some in the Indo-Canadian community, it’s gender (male). For pro-abortion activists like Joyce Arthur, it’s whatever a woman decides. For Canada’s government, it’s whenever the fetus in born. For those of the pro-life persuasion, it’s conception, although some would still accept abortion based on the cause of conception (rape and incest being seen as legitimate bases for ending life). All are arbitrary in some sense.
Clinton appears to fall into the Joyce Arthur camp. Obama is like most pro-choice people I know: “I haven’t thought about it very much, so I leave people to make their own choices and don’t impose mine.” Neither appears to have a principled position on the matter. Must be tough for pro-life Democrats.

Suzanne, on Celibacy U:
I watched the first five seconds of it. It’s just lame. I couldn’t go on. I’m all for celibacy. But this is just cheesy.

Dolores G. Mize, on A nugget from “A Demographic Winter”:
Being from the States, I just wanted to jump on and thank my nice Canadian neighbors for such a complete pro-life blog site as this one! Also wanted to mention that there is a really great company in Toronto called Life Cycle Books that produces all kinds of pro-life materials. They recently published my first book, “I Know I am Loved”. “I Know I am Loved” is a lovely gift for new or expectant parents. Tender prose and gorgeous black and white photography help make this a really memorable gift. Keepsake pages in the book for Mommy & Daddy to personalize make it a precious heirloom.
