The subject of having an abortion when a woman has been raped is an area that is often discussed when we have older school children in the centre for education days. Those young adults that are against abortion in all other circumstances often can’t see why abortion isn’t a good solution for rape because of […]


It is always gives us a lift to find stories where women under immense pressure to abort their babies find the strength to carry on.  Lifesitenews.com brought this story of  an Australian X-factor contestant to our attention and we encourage you to have a look http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/my-miscarriage-gave-me-strength-to-refuse-abortion-cancer-patient and witness how even in the most difficult and life threatening […]

Just found another great article on Lifesite news by the assistant editor John Jalsevac writing on his blog.  It’s short but hard hitting making the point that the incidence of abortion is higher in cohabiting couples than in married couples!  He writes, Can there be any doubt?: fighting abortion also means fighting for marriage, and against the culture of “anything goes” […]
