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.
There have been some alarming developments this week in the ongoing war against preborn humans.
The Trudeau Liberals have put forward legislation that unjustly targets pro-life pregnancy centres for their refusal to provide or refer for abortion. If our country’s over 100 fantastic pregnancy centres fail to comply with the proposed government requirements regarding their advertisements and tax returns, they could lose their charitable status. This could result in many of them being forced to close their doors permanently.
CLC National President Jeff Gunnarson has penned a powerful letter to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, strongly urging him to fulfill his promise to defend pregnancy centres from government attacks. Jeff has asked Mr. Poilievre and the entire Conservative party to unite with opposition parties to block this legislation. You can read Jeff’s full letter on X (formerly Twitter) here.
The Liberal’s attack on crisis pregnancy centres comes on the heels of the NDP releasing news last week of a motion they plan to put forward to expand abortion across Canada. The pro-abortion political leaders of our country know their time is short. An election could come any day. They are trying to impart their legacy as the greatest champions of baby-killing our country has ever seen. It will be nothing but an evil legacy, however, of bloodshed.
Meanwhile, as struggling pregnancy resource centres now face losing their charitable tax status, Canada’s top pro-life investigator Patricia Maloney has uncovered the shocking truth about just how much money —your tax dollars!— abortion groups have received from the Trudeau Liberals. Think tens of millions of dollars.
Real Women of Canada has released a must-read analysis about the real reason behind Canada’s rock-bottom fertility rate and what can be done to recover it.
The life-affirming Delta Hospice Society has put together a “Do Not Euthanize Defence Kit” to protect the vulnerable sick and elderly against Trudeau’s MAiD service, A.K.A., state-sponsored euthanasia program. Read the LifeSite story below to find out how to obtain a free defence kit for yourself or a loved one.
The November edition of CLC National News is now available online. Don’t miss CLC President Jeff Gunnarson’s letter to pro-lifers about how now is the time, more than ever before, to step into the fray.
Finally, don’t miss my reflection at the end about how the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada inadvertently let the cat out of the bag regarding what’s really behind Justin Trudeau’s recent attack on pro-life pregnancy centres. It’s not what you think.

Maureen, Canada’s top abortion rights activist let the cat out of the bag this week regarding the real reason behind Justin Trudeau’s assault on our country’s fantastic pro-life pregnancy resource centres.
It’s not that these centres aren’t transparent. They are. The vast majority of them make it crystal clear on their websites that they don’t offer and refer for abortion.
No, the real reason for the assault is that most of these centres, according to Joyce Arthur, Executive Director of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada, are “actually Christian ministries that promote traditional sexual morality and criticize abortion.”
Saving intimacy for marriage and respecting life since it is created in the image of God are, for Arthur, “questionable practices.”
You see, the abortion industry hates Christians.
They hate that we worship a God who tells his people to “choose life” (Deut. 30:19).
They hate human life created in the image of God.
They hate organizations that exist to help women so that they can make the empowering decision to choose life for their precious children.
The Trudeau Liberals are now putting forward legislation attacking pro-life organizations that marches to the drumbeat set by abortion activists like Arthur.
This is evil and must be stopped.
Please pray for Joyce Arthur and all abortion promoters. Their disdain for Christ and His Church is our opportunity to pray for their salvation, too!
Also, pray for Canada. Pray that our country returns to its Christian roots. Pray for an end to abortion. Pray for the protection of our country’s over 100 pro-life pregnancy resource centres.
In the meantime, be bold and daring for life!
