Tensions and Action
Did you see in your newsfeed, or even if you are still one of those people who still read newspapers, something which caught just about everybody’s attention? A Canadian man, Kenneth Law, has made a business of selling a suicide compound by mail to hundreds of people worldwide.

It has struck me that the same is true in our time. In my many decades in the pro-life movement, I’ve been involved in intense debates about all aspects of the abortion and euthanasia issues and the legislation and methods to overcome, defeat, or restrict them. As intense as these debates were at the time, many of them have faded now into history. This has caused me to reflect on one of the major roles of Priests for Life Canada.
