Calgary women sent to Montana to deliver

by

A.R. Media in Calgary reports;

Calgary-The streets are full of protesters upset that pregnant Calgarians are being sent to Montana to deliver their babies.

Alice McMommy head of R.E.A.L. women in Calgary issued this statement.

“How are we supposed to recruit members for FPC* when the government is making it look like having a baby might be difficult? After all we’ve done to support them.”

Cathy Lick opined,”I told my priest how the government was abusing mothers. He told me to treat them nicely and maybe they would stop. So I am going to the legislature with a cake today.”

The Right to Life groups have rallied around these women in an amazing way.

The situaton can best be summed up in the words of Femi Nist, “It is said a pregnant Mary travelled on a donkey,our pregnant women travel because of ass too.”

Turner Joins Liberals

by

Reports from all over today about Garth joining the green Dions.

Many thought Turner would have encamped with E. May’s Greens.

However, in an exclusive interview with A.R. Media Mr. Turner had this to say;

I support the Green Party, some enviromentalists will do anything so better the Green Party than Greenpeace.

But I have talked people out of joining the Green Party and can’t see anything that would induce/reduce me to joining them.

I’d like to see tax incentives and counselling to help prevent more people from joining the Green Party.

I hope people will realize that there are radicals on either side not willing to listen to each other.
Making this a difficult and nuanced decision.

To quote St. Thomas Aquinas, “Who knows when political life begins?”

Don’t know how many of you will indulge me in this but here goes.

If you feel so inclined post a comment giving one or two reasons why you vote for the party you do. In other words what values, beliefs, policies what have you that you hold near and dear do they represent.

And if you are feeling brave list one or two things where you part company or you feel they could improve.

Anyone?

Anti-pregnancy people launch campaign!

New blog site launched today with this press release

Birth Pangs — Save Lives! Regulate Pregnancy!

For Immediate Release 02 February 2007

Anti-pregnancy people launch campaign!

Berlynn
(OTTAWA) A radical group of anti-pregnancy extemists launched their political campaign to eliminate pregnancy with a new website this week. Birth Pangs will be an organizing centre of support in their call for legislation to end pregnancies in Canada.

April Reign, the group’s spokesperson said, “The facts show that carrying a pregnancy to term is more dangerous than other medical procedures. And then there are the post-partum issues: depression, sleepless nights, teenagers.”

Indeed, pregnancy can cause women to suffer physical and psychological damage. The risks of stretchmarks and post partum depression are high. Many go into it at an extremely young age when thoughtless adults assure them they are making the right choice. Many have pregnancy thrust upon them.

Rates of death, also known as maternal morbidity, are between four and five per 100,000 births. “Though this number may seem low,” said Reign, “These lives could have been saved if we had laws against pregnancy.”

The group will initiate a pan-Canadian lobby campaign early next month.

Conservatives new childcare plan

by

The government is considering possible changes to the Youth Criminal Justice Act that would sharply increase the number of young offenders sent to adult jails, according to a memo obtained by CTV News.

The memo sketches a “preferred option” that would “give the Crown discretion to use adult criminal justice procedures for youths aged 16 and 17 who are charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter or aggravated sexual assault.”

Judges currently decide whether young offenders should be charged as adults; the option outlined in the memo would strip them of that power.

Lots going on just in that short passage.

Put kids in jail instead of providing educational,work and other opportunities that might make for a future. Not to mention instead of providing decent wages and childcare programs to help steer them in the right direction.

Wonder how many of the kids “adult streamed” will be visible minorities? [Read more…] about Conservatives new childcare plan
