Over 100 Canadian women seriously harmed by abortion pill, one dead
Pro-abortion activists have been known to claim that the abortion pill (chemical abortion) has an “outstanding safety record.” The evidence publicly available tells a very different story.
A chemical abortion comprises two pills: Mifepristone, which works to block the mother’s progesterone and therefore make the womb hostile to the newly created baby, and Misoprostol, which initiates contractions and thus expels the dead baby.
A well-known danger is the possibility of undiagnosed ectopic pregnancies. Ultrasound scans or the like are not deemed necessary in most cases, and over-the-phone consultation is all that is required before the pills are made available. This is true here too, through New Zealand’s tax-payer-funded 0800 Decide line.
Read the article linked below to learn how public authorities are ignoring the pill manufacturers’ recommendations and warnings, recklessly endangering the mothers’ lives, as well as destroying babies.
Marie only lived 5 days but her parents gave her their best

Marie only lived 5 days but her parents gave her their best
“Charles and his wife Perle gave their daughter Marie—who suffered from spina bifida—the longest possible life, their presence, and their love.”
Baby Marie was diagnosed in utero with a severe form of spina bifida, which in her case was inoperable. Despite pressure from the medical community, her parents, Charles and Perle, chose to welcome her with no clear understanding of how long she might survive after her birth.
An outstanding feature of this story is that during their marriage preparation, the couple discussed the possibility of having children with a disability and had already decided to welcome every child. As they said, “The greatest gift we’ve had in this love story is to have met her.”

New UN Cyber Crime Treaty May Favour “S*xual Rights” for Kids
The sexualisation of children is truly a global and relentless phenomenon! One vehicle used to further this evil is via United National international agreements such as Treaties and Conventions. For example, there is an agreement under negotiation which is styled as a “Comprehensive International Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes.”
On the face of it this Convention is “… about combatting cybercrime, including criminalizing the production, dissemination, and possession of online “child sexual abuse” materials.” It is, however, a Trojan Horse for powerful Western nations to push for the exclusion of certain aspects of child pornography from being included in the agreement. They use spurious claims such as “(c)hildren above the age of 14 have a right to develop sexual relationships. Children at this age may choose to have a sexual relationship with someone who is 19 years old, therefore an adult.” Apparently, this disturbing notion comes from Austrian national law, and therefore has precedent.
Read the linked articles to gain a deeper understanding of how such agenda are pushed through to become global.

Canada’s euthanasia system enables HSK

Does Canada’s euthanasia law enable healthcare serial killing?
Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) law is perhaps the most permissive in the world. Professor Lyon has examined the risks inherent in the law and argues that a “healthcare serial killer” (HSK) could misuse the law and easily exercise their predilection to kill.
Professor Lyon raises the concern that “Canada uniquely lacks an oversight system to independently review MAiD requests, consistent post-death reporting, and a waiting period between approval and death.” However, there is a similar shocking deficiency in New Zealand’s legislation. As Michelle Kaufman has previously commented: “The Ministry of Health’s complete control of the review of the End of Life Choice Act, which it also administers, is clearly a profound concern. How will the Government go about monitoring fairly and objectively their success or otherwise in ensuring that no pressure was brought to bear on those who were assisted to commit suicide under the Act?”
Woman arrested for praying outside abortion clinic vows to fight ‘deeply disturbing’ charges

Woman arrested for praying outside abortion clinic vows to fight ‘deeply disturbing’ charges
Claire Brennan has been praying outside abortion clinics in Northern Ireland for 11 years and now finds herself on the other side of the law for doing what she has always done. In 2023, Northern Ireland enacted exclusion laws that created so-called “safe access zones” around abortion facilities, and her presence within one of these zones gave rise to her arrest. She intends to keep praying in defiance of the law, to fight the charges, and to refuse to pay a fine if convicted, saying that the legislation is discriminatory against Christians. Similar legislation has been passed in New Zealand.
Tried for a Tweet
Paivi Rasanen – Public Discourse
Tried for a Tweet
The right to express publicly the Christian faith is under attack under Finland’s Hate Speech legislation. In 2019, Paivi Rasanen, a Finnish Parliamentarian and former Government Minister, published a Tweet responding to the news that the Finnish Lutheran Church officially backed an LGBT Pride event. Her Tweet featured a photo of verses 24 – 27 of St Paul’s letter to the Romans, in which he teaches the sinfulness of homosexual relations. A criminal complaint was levelled against Ms Rasanen under Finland’s Hate Speech laws, resulting in 18 months of police investigations and years of court hearings, which might have led to two years imprisonment. The core of the legal matter was whether citizens could lawfully agree with the Bible, with the Prosecutor General comparing the Bible to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, saying it was OK for citizens to refer to the Bible but not to agree with it. Thankfully, she has now been acquitted of the Hate Speech charge. She is now prepared to continue her fight to teach the Christian faith in Finland’s Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
