Alberta recently took a positive step by ordering the removing of all sexually explicit and obscene books (many of which have an LGBT theme) from school libraries. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wisely pointed out to the press: “If I am not permitted to describe to you the kind of images that seven-year-olds are seeing because it would offend your audience, then we shouldn’t be showing them to seven-year-olds". One might rightly wonder whether such books exist in Quebec school libraries. If they will soon be banned in Alberta and exist in Ontario, there is no reason why Quebec should be spared.

The practice of "medically-assisted procreation" (MAP), in addition to being immoral, has many drawbacks that are gradually being discovered. In Europe, it was recently discovered that a gamete donor, the genitor of at least 67 children, was a carrier of a rare genetic mutation that carries an increased risk of cancer — a mutation that can be passed on to children. The mutation in question was discovered during a routine test on one of these children, prompting health authorities to issue a major alert. Up to ten cases of cancer have been diagnosed among these 67 children. The widespread dissemination of a single person's genome, as we have seen, can be a source of disaster and misfortune (the traditional family has a much more modest spread in comparison). It is worrying to see certain people, such as billionaire Pavel Durov, spreading their genome excessively. Mr Durov donated his sperm to the AltraVita assisted reproduction clinic, which finances the costs of assisted reproduction for women who are inseminated with his gametes. He has thus become the genitor of around a hundred children...

Did you know that organ harvesters in the United States have invented a method for harvesting organs as fresh as possible? First, they declare the donor, who has signed a do-not-resuscitate order, to be in a state of "circulatory death" (the heart has stopped beating at this point). Then they perform "normothermic regional perfusion", which means they perform a "ligation of the blood vessels to the head ... to ensure that blood flow to the brain does not occur", then they restart circulation and the heart, but the brain remains without blood supply, which allows the donor to be declared "brain dead" and his organs to be legally harvested from his body while his heart is still beating...

Did you also know that, according to the informed consent form of the now-retired American abortionist Curtis Boyd, abortion after 18 weeks was more dangerous than childbirth? "The risk of termination of pregnancy gradually increases throughout the course of pregnancy. These comparative risks become approximately equal at 16-18 weeks of pregnancy and increase so that pregnancy termination at 18 weeks and above involves a greater risk than carrying the pregnancy to term.”

I am pleased to announce that our colleague Arpad Nagy is running as an independent in the provincial by-election in Arthabaska, in order to bring the pro-life discourse into the public arena.
