Linda Gibbons, Canada’s prisoner of conscience

For doing what you see in this video, disobeying a 1994 “temporary” injunction by continuing to protest the killing of the unborn, Linda Gibbons has spent 8 years in jail.

Here is a video of the latest arrest for her “crime”:

 

Canada’s lack of legal limits on abortion is a disgusting example of apathetic tolerance for evil. Persecuting a 69 year old who has the temerity to mildly protest the unfettered killing of the unborn is shockingly twisted. It shames Canada, Canadian law and Canadian citizens who, through their taxes, are paying for a travesty of justice that would find itself more at home in the KGB than a civilised society.

How many police officers does it take to arrest one 69 year old grandmother?

Six, including a deputy sheriff. In fairness to the police officers, she was armed with a pretty menacing placard.

From here:

TORONTO, August 4, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – LifeSiteNews reporter and managing director Steve Jalsevac was live-blogging and taking photos from the Mogentaler abortion mill on Hillsdale Ave in Toronto this morning as pro-life activist Linda Gibbons was arrested.  Gibbons has spent 8 of the last 14 years in jail for breaking a 1994 ‘temporary’ court injunction which forbids pro-life presence outside various abortion centers in Toronto.

Gibbons arrived at the Morgentaler abortion mill this morning shortly before 9am and was arrested just after 11am.  As is her normal practice Gibbons paced back and forth silently in front of the mill carrying a sign with a live baby’s photo reading: “Why Mom When I have so much Love to Give”.

She spoke to several women entering the centre to offer them aid to carry their pregnancies to term.

Six police officers took part in the arrest, including the sheriff and deputy.  Gibbons was read the injunction and led to the squad car peacefully.  While in years past she sat immobile allowing the officers to carry her to the vehicle, the 69-year-old grandmother walked with them this morning.

 

 

Belligerent atheists promoting death and misery as usual

From here:

Wisconsin officials are reviewing a complaint that the official state website links to an anti-abortion group with religious ties.

The organization is called Care Net, a faith-based group that caters to pregnant women.

The Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation says by linking to the site, the state is advertising evangelical ideals. Group president Annie Laurie Gaylor wants the link removed.

The link in question can be found here, and it points to this site, whose aim is:

As the largest network of pregnancy centers in North America, Care Net is committed to expanding access to the life-saving services and support provided by our local centers and to reaching the hurting and broken with the hope of Jesus Christ.

We work to accomplish this goal by promoting our network of centers and the Option Line call center, preparing our local centers to effectively serve their communities, and partnering with existing centers or like-minded ministries to plant new pregnancy centers in underserved areas.

As you can see, pretty sinister.

I have little doubt that if today’s coterie of benighted God haters had lived in the 19th Century, they would have vigorously canvassed to prevent William Wilberforce end slavery – because he was an evangelical Christian who had no right imposing his Christian perspectives on a secular parliament.

Political cowardice on abortion

From here:

Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak appeared to shy away from his previous anti-abortion position Monday, saying he doesn’t plan to re-open the issue if he wins the Oct. 6 provincial election.

When he was running for the PC leadership in 2009, Hudak’s representatives told the Association for Reformed Political Action he is pro-life and had signed a petition calling for the defunding of abortions and to support doctors who don’t want to perform the procedures.

But Hudak seemed reluctant to confirm he had signed a petition when asked about it by reporters Monday.

“I may have signed a petition from my riding in that respect, but listen, let me be clear: we are not reopening this debate,” said Hudak. “Just like the federal Parliament, we would not be reopening that issue.”

By not reopening that issue, Hudak has placed political expediency – the will to power – above confronting the greatest evil present today in Canadian society.

In the struggle to preserve civilisation, that puts Canada somewhere behind Russia.

Pathetic.

Doctors claim abortion is safer than having a baby

From here:

Pregnant women should be told that having an abortion is safer than having the baby, according to medical chiefs.

The advice, which would be given to women considering terminations, has caused anger, with anti-abortion campaigners accusing doctors’ leaders of forcing an “absurdly liberal agenda” on women in a vulnerable situation.

The draft guidance from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists is for all doctors, nurses and counsellors advising women contemplating terminations.

Of course, there is a 100% fatality rate for the babies.

March for Life Canada Expects Biggest Turnout Ever

From here:

The organizer of Canada’s National March For Life, Campaign Life Coalition, is predicting that, with the help of a massive turnout from Ottawa area Catholic schools, 20,000 people will participate in this year’s annual pro-life march on May 13th, 2010……..

This year’s National March for Life theme is “Abortion – a Crime Against Humanity.” Events will begin on Wednesday, May 12, 2010, with the march beginning with a gathering on Parliament Hill at noon on Thursday, May 13, 2010, followed by the Youth Conference on Friday May 14.

But will the mainstream media notice?

Lethal injections: cruel for murderers, fine for babies

From here:

For the second time in three years, executions have been stopped in Tennessee as judges ponder whether supposedly benign lethal injections actually can cause excruciating pain…….

In lethal injections, a series of three chemicals is used — a barbiturate to make the inmate unconscious, a paralyzing agent to prevent seizures and involuntary gasps of pain, and finally a poison to stop the prisoner’s heart.

Sad to say, judges are not extending their agonising on the humanity of executing murderers by lethal injection to the similar execution of unborn babies – who don’t even merit the benefit of anaesthesia – by the ghouls of the abortion industry.

From here:

The abortion industry is certainly prolific in its ability to find new ways to destroy human life.  And each “innovation” puts more women at risk.

Notorious abortionist, James Pendergraft, now performs a new method of late-term abortion in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The procedure is called a “fetal intra-cardiac injection.” Using a sonogram, the abortionist guides a spinal nettle through the woman’s abdomen into the unborn child’s heart and injects poison or air to stop the baby’s heart from beating. Once the abortionist kills the baby, he leaves the woman on her own to visit her personal doctor or a hospital emergency room to have the now-dead child delivered.

The most shocking 4-minute abortion debate you will ever see

From here:

CBR’s shocking, graphic video juxtaposed a soothing video produced by the Northland Family Planning Centers, a late-term abortion chain of 3 mills in Michigan, with the reality of abortion.

CBR’s video got such a huge initial response, CEO Gregg Cunningham decided to take some time to remaster it to grotesque perfection. CBR is calling this video “the most shocking 4-minute abortion debate you will ever see.” CBR may be right…
