“This means well over 3,000 people are killed by their doctors each year in Canada, which — if my math is correct — is more than 250 a month, more than 58 a week, and more than eight per day. Heck, that’s about one every three hours.
“The report says that about 1.12 percent of all Canadian deaths were caused by euthanasia, a number that is increasing every year. No wonder. Efforts are increasing to normalize lethal injection as a way of death — and soon we are likely to see the killable caste expanded in Canada to include children, people whose deaths are not “foreseeable,” those with dementia who asked to be killed in an advance directive, and perhaps, the mentally ill (as happens regularly in Netherlands and Belgium). “If 1.12 percent of our deaths in the USA were doctor-homicides, it would amount to nearly 30,000. “These statistics are stark, but they don’t tell the whole story. Because these radical policies have only been in effect for a relatively short time, we don’t yet know the moral costs of allowing doctors to kill sick patients or assist their suicides. I suspect decades from now, our posterity will shake their heads in disbelief that so many people once believed it was “progress” to pass laws which, by definition, deny the equal intrinsic dignity and sanctity of all human life.”And that’s not to mention the number of babies killed by abortion in Canada that no one is talking about. As courageously out-spoken Goderich & District Pro Life President Nancy Bartz tells us, “Canada has had NO abortion laws since they were struck down in 1969!”
“We, like the States, also have no laws requiring doctors to provide aid to any baby born alive after a botched abortion. No longer do we no longer regard the child in the womb as a non-person but even those babies who miraculously survive the abortion procedure and, on an average survive for about three hours, are also deemed non-persons with no rights and receive no care. We must rise to the call and make much of these horrific events!

“We all know that the most vulnerable, the pre-born, are the first to be eliminated, then the handicapped and the elderly. We must remember that people are created in the image of God and “We do not kill, We Care”, for the weak.” “According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, 766 babies were born alive after botched late-term abortions in Canada in the five years between 2013 and 2018 and presumably left to die. The actual number is assuredly higher than reported because these statistics do not include Quebec. If being born alive after an abortion is supposed to be the exception and there were over 766 of those—how many more successful late term abortions are performed in our country? What happens to those born alive babies?”Don’t ask Trudeau who is likely on his way to yet another staged photo op. Pro-lifers are worried that Canada, which follows its southern neighbour in so many things, will follow Sen. Jeff Merkley’s lead on putting saving kittens above saving babies. “March 14, 2019 (Family Research Council)-In one of the sickest ironies no one is talking about, (U.S.) Senate Liberals picked this moment—17 days after they voted to kill America’s perfectly healthy infants—to fight for the humane treatment of kittens.
“For sponsors like Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) the optics are nauseating. Here he is, arguing that America “must stop killing kittens.” when, three weeks ago, he stood in the U.S. Capitol and agreed with 43 Democrats that human beings should be put down. “The USDA’s decision to slaughter kittens after they are used in research is an archaic practice and horrific treatment, and we need to end it,” Merkley said with a passion that he and his colleagues couldn’t muster for a generation of perfectly healthy newborns. His Kittens in Traumatic Testing Ends Now—or KITTEN-Act— wouldn’t stop the research, but it would keep the animals from being destroyed.
“The KITTEN Act will protect these innocent animals from being needlessly euthanized in government testing, Merkley told reporters, “and make sure that they can be adopted by loving families instead. Does he even hear himself? They should be treated and adopted? That’s exactly what Americans have requested for living, breathing babies. Democrats said no. Killing a child is a “personal decision”, they said, and Congress shouldn’t get in the way."Meanwhile not just Prime Minister Trudeau but no one in Canadian Parliament is talking about the wanton killing of Canadian babies in abortion. Only a handful of MPs seem worried that “Canadian doctors are committing thousands of homicides in Canadian hospitals”. But thousands of pro-lifers will descend on Ottawa May 9, for the 50th March for Life on Parliament Hill. And for the first time ever there will be a rally and workshops in Toronto. This one-day event will coincide with Pro-Life marches across Canada. Average Canadians believe that “ALL human beings have an inherent right to life, regardless of age, degree of maturity, physical or mental capabilities, even though their Prime Minister and Parliament don’t. They believe ardently that “the right to life is the primary right on which all other rights depend, and should never be sacrificed for a lesser good”, and their numbers are dramatically increasing, Mr. Trudeau!
