Recently, there came a great change in the political landscape of our neighbour to the South. The Republican Party lost its hold on Congress to a very radical Democratic Party.
How did this happen? The media seems to think that it has something to do with the voters disapproval of the War on Terror, or perhaps the recent scandals among Republican officials swayed voters. However, none are mentioning the sharp drop of support from those voters who identify themselves as Evangelical Christians. And while they have noted the fall of Ted Haggard, few are linking him to the election.
And yet, even before his sordid personal life came to light (effectively ending his ministry), he had delivered the Evangelical vote into the hands of their enemy, the Left wing of American politics.
In this devastating and insightful book, Dr. Charles McVety exposes the cause for which Haggard betrayed his political allies and how it is linked to the great falling away predicted in scripture.

Canada's most famous abortionist honoured
Dr. Henry Morgantaler with NDP Leader Jack Layton
By John Clarke
July 2nd, 2008
On July 1st, 2008, Dr. Henry Morgantaler was awarded the Order Of Canada. Morgentaler was the medical doctor who, in 1970, was convicted and served time in prison for performing illegal abortions on thousands of women. Restricting his practice exclusively to abortions since 1969, he has faced several trials, has had his medical licence suspended, has opened abortion mills across Canada, and was victorious in his 1988 trial, which spelled the end of all statutory restrictions on abortion in Canada. He was also the first president (and current honorary president) of the Humanist Association of Canada (dedicated to the proposition that belief in God is a superstition that needs to be eradicated).
Appointments to The Order Of Canada come from the Governor General of Canada. “The Conservative government is not involved in either deliberations or decisions with respect to which individuals are appointed to the Order of Canada,” said a statement issued Tuesday evening by a spokesman for Harper. “Rideau Hall makes these appointments based on the recommendations of the Advisory Council for the Order which is chaired by the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.”
Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean named Morgentaler to the Order of Canada Tuesday for his "services to women and for leadership in the fields of humanism and civil liberties." Previous appointees include politicians, philanthropists, entertainers, scientists, journalists, and others whom it is deemed exemplify the order's Latin motto, desiderantes meliorem patriam, meaning "they desire a better country." This comes from the Biblical passage Hebrews 11:16:
But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He hath prepared for them a City.
Many do not see Morgantaler worthy of the appointment. The Canadian Family Action Coalition has filed a formal request to terminate Henry Morgenatalers' Order Of Canada (Complete story). A statement from Thomas Collins, Catholic Archbishop of Toronto, said,
"Canada's highest honour has been debased. Henry Morgentaler has been awarded the Order of Canada. We are all diminished. A community's worth is measured by the way it treats the most vulnerable, and no one is more vulnerable than in the first nine months of life's journey. No person may presume to judge the soul of Henry Morgentaler, but it cannot be denied that the effect of his life's work has been a deadly assault upon the most helpless amongst us..."
The Catholic Church is one of a number organizations that treat women for the emotional trauma that results from abortion, others include the Canadian Christian Counsellors Clinic.
Not all criticism comes from his campaign for "reproductive rights" (a euphemism for abortion, which itself is an euphamism for the destruction of children while in their mothers womb). In 1974, the Montreal Gazzette reported that, according to police evidence, Morgantaler re-used disposable vacurettes (which can only be used once). Morgantaler defended this by saying that "whether someone uses a Vacurette once or twice has nothing to do with practising good medicine." In 1973, the Quebec Ministry of Revenue ordered him to pay $354,799 in unpaid income taxes (he eventually only paid $101,000 in a settlement with the government). In 2002, research published by Le Droit estimated his gross annual income from his abortion mills to be $11 million.
In 1976, the Disciplinary Committee of the Professional Corporation of Physicians of Quebec suspended Morgentaler's medical license for a year as a result of his conviction for having performed an illegal abortion. According to Catherine Dunphy's 1996 biography of Morgentaler, the committee "commented on 'an attitude which is primarily directed to protecting his fees. No really valid interview is held before proceeding with the abortion. This behaviour confers a mercenary character on the doctor-patient relationship. This committee is incapable of reconciling this behaviour with the humanitarian concern that the accused invoked throughout his defence.'" He was found guilty of:
"not holding a valid interview before an abortion, for failing almost completely to gather a case history of his client, for failing to perform the necessary pregnancy test or blood test, for not obtaining pathological examination of the 'tissues' removed and for failing to follow up the state of health of his patients afterward."
"It's an appointment I deserve, even if I say so myself," Said Morgantaler at a recent press conference.

Update:
Formal Request Filed to Terminate

On behalf of the 41,000 members of Canada Family Action Coalition and the hundreds of thousands of like-minded Canadians, on July 3rd, 2008, CFAC filed a formal request in accordance with the Paragraph 25(c) of the Constitution of the Order of Canada for the Advisory Council to recommend that the Governor General terminate Henry Morgentaler's appointment to the Order of Canada. Dr. Charles McVety, CFAC President, says “Henry Morgentaler's conduct is unbecoming a member of the Order of Canada, violating paragraphs 3(b) (i) and (ii) of the Constitution of the Order of Canada, thereby, tarnishing all recipients of this tremendous award.”

Forgiven and Set Free: A Post-Abortion Bible Study for Women
By Linda Cochrane
Forgiven and Set Free, an inspired Bible study that can be used by individual women or by a group, effectively ministers God's healing grace to women who are suffering remorse and guilt after an abortion. This study was developed out of Linda's Cochrane's experience of being freed from the bondage of guilt and grief that followed her abortion. "As I read my Bible, Christ was faithful to touch my open wounds with the touch of his promises," she writes. "He promised to turn all my wailing into dancing and he has." Forgiven and Set Free guides suffering and hurting women to bring their emotional scars from abortion "out of the dark past and into his holy light," where true and lasting healing can take place. Appropriate Scriptures help women deal with issues such as: Relief And Denial, Anger, Forgiveness, Depression, Letting Go, and Acceptance. |

ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments
By Randy Alcorn
Let's face it - when it comes to the issue of abortion we all either have questions or answers that we don't have any hard proof for. Sometimes we've heard something somewhere about an aspect of this issue and can't remember the specifics, to our frustration. Now, in a comprehensive and well-documented single volume, Randy Alcorn (Heaven) gives interested parties everything they need to make up their mind on this matter. Similar in style to Josh McDowell's landmark volume on the proof for the Christian faith (Evidence for Christianity), Alcorn takes on all aspects of the argument, from the humanity of the unborn to the social issues surrounding the conflict, even addressing the perceived character of pro-life individuals. Few books could match the scope and precision of this book while dealing compassionately with such a polarizing controversy.

What Happened to Christian Canada?
By Mark A. Noll
On September 15, 1959, Georges Vanier, Canada's Governor-General soon-to-be, began his acceptance speech with the following invocation: "Mr. Prime Minister, my first words are a prayer. May Almighty God in his infinite wisdom and mercy bless the sacred mission which has been entrusted to me by Her Majesty the Queen and help me to fulfill it in all humility. In exchange for his strength, I offer him my weakness." Fifty-six years later, on September 27, 2005, Michaelle Jean became Canada's 27th Governor-General. In her acceptance speech, by contrast, Jean referred to how Canadian history "speaks powerfully about the freedom to invent a new world," and made no reference to the deity. What happened to the Canadian religious conscience, as illustrated by the speeches of these two luminaries, in the approximately fifty years between then and now? Why might have church and synagogue attendance fallen from 67 percent after World War II to less than 20 percent in 2000? In What Happened to Christian Canada?, renowned church historian Mark Noll investigates these and other related questions, and makes timely observations about one of the more prominent sociological shifts in modern North American history. |
