Today, the general public do not see it as unreasonable that babies in the womb be protected from damage by external factors. In fact, anyone with a sense of social justice would agree that society had a responsibility to protect Mrs. G's baby. Although disappointed by the Supreme Court's decision, we remain very optimistic that by the year 2000 the unborn child will be recognized as a person. Education, combined with an increased sense of social justice will be the catalysts which will achieve personhood for children before birth, just as it achieved personhood for women earlier in this century.

Unborn Child Continues To Be Victimized.
November 5, 1997. The annual number of abortions continues to rise, reaching an alarming total of 106,658 for the year 1995. Once again, the current figures released for 1995 by Statistics Canada reveal a record number of abortions. Although abortion services are easily accessible at tax payer's expense, we continue to abandon women in crisis pregnancies by refusing to look for the reasons why so many women feel they are unable to continue their pregnancies. Medical science has clearly established that life begins at fertilization.
