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.
We’re pleased to report the stunning results of our first annual National ‘Pride’ flag Walk-out Day at schools across the nation. Some absence rates were between 30-75 percent. Read more about this in Jack Fonseca’s report below.
CLC is petitioning the RCMP to investigate the deaths of over 1,500 babies born alive after botched abortions. Our petition, launched early this week, has been signed by almost 4,000. If you have not done so already, please sign this important petition and pass it on to your like-minded family and friends.
Our summer intern Warren has written up an account of the speech pro-life medical doctor Calum Miller gave at the Rose Dinner on May 11 following the National March for Life. The UK doctor lays out the three main battle lines in the war to end abortion. Don’t miss this one.
The number of pre-born children killed by chemical abortion has surpassed those killed by surgical abortion in New Brunswick. Pro-life activism needs to take this shifting landscape into account.
The June edition of CLC National News, our monthly newsletter, is now online. It’s a great way to catch up on the most important stories happening in our country.

Maureen, it was a disturbing task when I researched for a report and petition about the babies in Canada who are born alive after a botched abortion and then left to die.
One aspect of the research was looking into the stories of born-alive abortion survivors who are grateful to be alive.
One of them is Gianna Jessen. She was two months shy of being born when her mother underwent a late-term saline abortion. A caustic solution was injected into her mother’s uterus and into her tiny fetal body, poisoning and burning her inside and outside. Jessen survived the attempt and was delivered alive in the abortion centre. She was transferred to a hospital where she received the medical care needed to live.
Other born-alive abortion survivors include Melissa Ohden, Claire Culwell, Josiah Presley, and Nik Hoot.
The Abortion Survivors Network, a U.S.-based organization, estimates that there are over 85,000 babies who have survived abortion in the U.S. alone since 1973. The organization strongly supports born-alive legislation to help ensure babies born alive after failed abortions have a chance at survival.
We need to make Canada a safe place for babies who are born alive after botched abortions. We need born-alive legislation in our own country.
These babies, once born, are Canadian citizens with the same rights and protections as every other citizen. The attending medical staff are legally and ethically required to provide life-saving medical treatment to the infant the moment, as the criminal code states, he or she “has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother.”
It is at this moment, that, according to current law, these babies “become” a “human being” and are therefore owed every right and protection given to every other Canadian.
Leaving newly-born babies to die is another word for infanticide.
Babies who are born alive must be given every care for their comfort if they are unable to survive and every medical intervention if they have a chance at surviving. What is considered to be the “age of viability” continues to drop with medical advances in neonatal care. New studies have shown that premature babies can survive at 22 weeks if given proper care. Stats show that a high number of babies in Canada born alive after a botched abortion are at the age of viability and beyond.
If you have not done so already, please join me in signing our new petition asking the RCMP to investigate the deaths of these babies. Sign here.
As I wrote in my report about this, it is essential for a functioning society that law enforcement agencies uphold the principles of justice for all, ensuring that the rights of all citizens are protected and that if crimes have been committed, the criminals are held accountable for their actions.
When police fail to pursue matters of justice, it undermines public trust in the justice system and erodes the very foundation of a fair and equitable society.
It is crucial for the RCMP to address this matter promptly and take appropriate action to ensure that the rights and well-being of all Canadians, especially those newly born, are protected. Our country must take steps to safeguard the lives of these infants who continue to be born alive after failed abortions.
Be bold and daring for life!
