Kelowna – We Need A Law https://test.weneedalaw.ca Thu, 05 Aug 2021 16:59:06 +0000 en-CA hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.9 https://test.weneedalaw.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/cropped-wnal-logo-00afad-1231-32x32.png Kelowna – We Need A Law https://test.weneedalaw.ca 32 32 This Fall: Save a Life Workshop in Kelowna https://test.weneedalaw.ca/2014/08/this-fall-save-a-life-workshop-in-kelowna/ Tue, 26 Aug 2014 04:11:02 +0000 http://wpsb2.dev.hearkenmedia.com/2014/08/25/this-fall-save-a-life-workshop-in-kelowna/ A group in Kelowna is organizing a one-day pro-life workshop called “Save A Life” and we are excited to be participating. Our campaign director Mike will be the keynote speaker, sharing about the need for abortion laws in Canada. Mike will be joined by Darby, a 19 year-old mother who first became pregnant at 16, the Reaume family who have added to their family by giving 5 children a forever home through adoption and a panel of faith leaders from the Okanagan Valley. Attendees will be given hands-on opportunities to get involved while learning more about this important issue – did you know Canada is one of only 3 countries in the world with absolutely no abortion legislation?

This event is for anyone interested in pro-life work, for people who live in (or want to travel to) the Okanagan Valley, for those affected by abortion and for all Christians in the area to get involved and bring about an end to this injustice and healing to those adversely affected.

Tickets are available at:

Tickets for conference admission and lunch are $25 and available at the above locations until September 30. Alternatively, you may pay at the door for $15 (however this will not include a lunch). Youth 19 and under will be admitted at no cost.

Join the facebook event here and let your friends know you’re going. You can also share the poster by clicking on the link at the end of this article and saving a copy to your computer.

Letter to the Editor: Julia https://test.weneedalaw.ca/2014/05/letter-to-the-editor-julia/ Fri, 30 May 2014 02:24:56 +0000 http://wpsb2.dev.hearkenmedia.com/2014/05/29/letter-to-the-editor-julia/ Recently we mentioned that if you sent a letter to the editor of your local (or a national) paper and it was published, we would like to see it and share it. Thanks to Julia for sending us her letter that was published on May 17 in the Kelowna Daily Courier.

 

On Thursday, Premier Christy Clark publicly apologized for unjust policies in the 19th century that denied basic human rights to Chinese Canadians. Her speech served as a painful reminder that government-sanctioned human rights violations have happened in the past and, more painful still, they continue to happen in Canada today. In a country where abortions are performed throughout all three trimesters of pregnancy for any reason whatsoever, Canadian preborn children are denied personhood until they have fully exited the birth canal. Blatantly contradicting science on the question of when life begins, the current law requires Canadians to suspend logic and accept that the killing of a preborn child is permissible so long as the act is concealed by the mother’s body. Racism was enshrined in our laws of the past and Chinese Canadians were treated as subhuman; unrestricted abortion access is possible only because the preborn have been similarly dehumanized. May 14th marked 45 years of legalized abortion in Canada. Nearly 4 million babies have been violently killed in the womb. We cannot wait for the apologies of politicians. We must act now and rest only when all members of the human family are protected in our country.”
