Watch out Pro-lifers!

Pro-Choicers aim to censor Pro-lifers. First we had the case at the University of Calgary trying to shut down the Pro-life Campus Club for what was deemed "graphic images"
Eight members of the Pro-life Campus club of the University of Calgary may face expulsion for displaying "graphic images" on campus.

Eight members of Campus Pro-Life have been ordered by the university to attend separate hearings next week for what the school has labelled a “major violation” of the non-academic misconduct policy for defying orders from campus security at an April 8 rally.

“We shall not abandon the unborn child to be murdered,” they stated. “We shall not desert the single mom in crisis. We shall not allow the evil of abortion to remain unexposed. We shall not be intimidated by the threat of force. We shall not be scared by the threat of expulsion. We shall not back down from the stand we have made.”
“If they are to punish us, then we are content to let history revile them for their suppression of liberty,” they added. “If they are to punish us, then let the blood of the unborn child be upon their heads. If they are to punish us then let the pain of the suffering mom be upon their conscience.”
“So let the university do whatever action their twisted worldview sees fit, for we fear not the judgment of tyranny,” they concluded.

Now the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (ARCC) wants to criminalize Pro-life activism in response a bill to ban coercive abortion introduced by CPC MP Rod Bruinooge.

OTTAWA, Ontario, April 20, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada (ARCC) has responded to Conservative MP Rod Bruinooge's purposed bill to ban coercive abortion, unveiled in a press conference last week, by calling instead for a ban on “coerced childbirth,” and even suggesting that Canada outlaw pro-life activism.

“The entire anti-choice movement has been trying to force women into pregnancy and motherhood for decades, by working to outlaw or restrict abortion,” said Joyce Arthur, ARCC's coordinator, in a Monday press release. “Perhaps we need to protect women from this coercion by criminalizing anti-choice activism!”

This is unbelievable! Is there nothing these people would do in order to shut the pro-lifers up? It's OK for them to have their say but it's "criminal" for anyone to have an opposing view. See something wrong with that picture?
To me abortion means the killing of a baby. Tell me that's not wrong. Yet speaking out to save the lives of those little ones is wrong. Something just doesn't jive here. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Update: It's been a tough week for pro-choicers

More Good News That The Media Should be Talking About

Once again news that the media is neglecting to report in lieu of the non-story soap opera that has been consuming the National Media in Ottawa. This is the story they should be talking about. It's a a positive story that is good for our economy. The good news stories lately about our economy is something they should be boasting about.

Investors pick Canada

Investors are pouring more money than ever into Canada, drawn by earnings growth that almost equals China's and shares trading for 17 per cent less.

International funds pumped in $2.7 billion in the past year as analysts forecast companies in the Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index will boost profits 42 per cent and pay the best dividends relative to global equities on record. The market value of Canadian stocks has risen the most among the 15 biggest nations this year. Prices rose 2.8 per cent and the Canadian dollar is up 3.6 per cent

It's proof the Harper government has steered us through the economic storm fairly well and investors are finding Canada a a safe haven in which to invest Our economy is stable and doing better than most. Our currency is strong. Our deficit and debt even though too big in my opinion, is still a lot less than in the US, UK, Greece, Japan, etc. So I say to investors, keep on investing. Good for us, maybe not so good for other jurisdictions though.

Why is the media not widely reporting this? Another case of I suppose, if they can't find a scandal in it to try and tar the Harper government with, they'll ignore it. Also because it's not a Liberal or a Coalition of the Losers government that is responsible for creating the environment in which investors want to invest here. A Liberal or Coaltion of the Losers government would have actually been a disaster for investors.

I would hope the media would give credit where credit is due but not holding my breath.
