Dear Maureen, I’m Pete Baklinski and this is your Canadian Pro-Life News Bits where I let you know what’s happening on our country’s pro-life and pro-family front.

It’s been a rare, quiet week for news on life and family issues in our country.

You won’t want to miss my report on the Liberal’s 2023 budget which includes $36M to expand abortion services. Terrible!

Also, don’t miss our own David Cooke’s report about some Canadians who are shocked to learn that they live in a country where euthanasia is legal, where our doctors and nurses are permitted to administer lethal injections to “eligible patients.” It’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Pro-life researcher Patricia Maloney has uncovered evidence through freedom of information requests that Health Canada is investing money into MAID, training doctors to kill people.

True North interviewed our own Josie Luetke about the Texas judge who overturned the FDA’s approval of the abortion pill, effectively banning the use of this deadly drug across the USA. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal decided on Wednesday not to hear the case, with the result that the ban still stands. The case will now go to the Supreme Court, where, thanks to the previous Trump administration, a majority of judges are pro-life. This is good news.

Campaign Life Coalition: Assisted Suicide is Not Health Care

“Conservative MP Ed Fast has brought forward a private member’s bill called the “mental health protection act”, or Bill C-314. Let's help get it passed!”

True North: Canadian pro-life group reacts to US judge invalidating FDA’s approval of abortion pill

“U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk issued a rule to invalidate the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the abortion pill Mifepristone…In Canada, a pro-life group is applauding Kacsmaryk’s decision and believes it’s a step in the right direction to protect the lives of unborn children.”

Vancouver Sun: Heartbreak turns to joy for North Van woman when miscarriage diagnosis proven wrong

“A North Vancouver mother who was misdiagnosed as having a miscarriage after two ultrasounds is sharing her story as a cautionary tale for women who get pregnant through in vitro fertilization.”

CLC comment: We are delighted that this baby is alive and well, even as we speak out against how this baby was conceived, namely through the immoral process of IVF. This process separates love from procreation. God designed the creation of a new person to take place in the loving embrace of a man and woman who are committed to one another in marriage. To conceive a child outside of this context is an assault against the child. It turns children into commodities who are bought and sold. The process of IVF also includes the creation of many embryos (tiny humans) where one is chosen for implantation and the rest are discarded and often destroyed. IVF has no place in a culture of life.

Maureen, yesterday I spoke at a rally in support of Josh Alexander in Pembroke, Ontario, where CLC delivered a petition signed by over 5,000 people to the Renfrew Catholic School Board demanding that it allow this student to return to class after he was barred for opposing transgender ideology.

I want to share with you a little bit about what I said at the rally.

I shared that transgender ideologues, like psychologist and sexologist John Money, whose research abused and destroyed the lives of the Canadian Reimer twins, have convinced many, contrary to biology, that males can become females, that females can become males, and that there is even a spectrum of sexualities.

But, biology says “no” to all of this.

Sex is binary.

Biologists point out that an organism's sex is defined by the kind of gamete that the reproductive anatomy of the organism produces. Bodies that produce small gametes, known as sperm, are male. Bodies that produce large gametes, known as ova, are female. The outward appearances of both male and female bodies as it relates to reproduction reflect this reality.

Biology has observed no intermediate gametes between sperm and eggs. This means that biologically there are only two sexes. This sexual dimorphism is so consistent that 99.98% of births are unambiguously male or female.

As developmental biologist Dr. Emma Hilton and evolutionary biologist Dr. Colin Wright point out, "The evolutionary function of these two anatomies is to aid in reproduction via the fusion of sperm and ova. No third type of sex cell exists in humans, and therefore there is no sex 'spectrum' or additional sexes beyond male and female. Sex is binary."

And, the world’s main religions have known this truth for ages. We read in the Bible: “God created man…Male and female he created them.” - Gen. 127

I stated at the rally that the body is either male or female, from its smallest parts to its largest visible parts, from either XY chromosomes in males and XX chromosomes in females to the visible external genitalia in males to the internal genitalia in females.

Surgeries and hormones can never transform a male into a female or a female into a male. These only mutilate healthy bodies and make the recipient a poor and unconvincing caricature of what they are trying to achieve.

These are some of the things I said at the rally.

What I love about the pro-life and pro-family movement is that science is on its side.

It’s only a matter of time before the truth wins out.

So, stand firm and let nothing move you.
