In discussing the conscience rights of doctors, whether it be in relation to abortion, assisted suicide or anything else, Gray suggests, we allow ourselves to be marginalized. We fail our cause when we assume that we belong in the margins. A focus on our consciences and beliefs comes at the cost of keeping the focus squarely on the rights and realities of other human beings. Whether we are doctors ourselves or not, we need the confidence to step out of the margins and defend our pre-born neighbours from any and every angle.

]]> A welcome debate! https://test.weneedalaw.ca/2014/03/a-welcome-debate/ Thu, 20 Mar 2014 05:52:20 +0000 http://wpsb2.dev.hearkenmedia.com/2014/03/19/a-welcome-debate/ This is great!

Remember last year when pro-life ads started appearing on Halifax transit shelters? It was a simple, but powerful ad sponsored by Signs4Life. The sign showed a photo of a newborn accompanied by the phrase, “Luc was born today but his life began nine months ago.”

The reaction was predictable with many calling for the ads to be removed. And now a pro-choice organization in Halifax is fundraising to have their own ads produced.

This has obviously pleased Signs4Life. Stephanie Potter, one of the four people who works at Signs4Life responded to this news by saying:

“We’re really excited about it, we really believe strongly in freedom of speech and the right to publish signs in the media on this sort of topic.”

It’s about time the abortion debate was raised to new levels.
