#10: “Emotion is Utterly Certain”: Why the Abortion Debate Can’t be Won on Facts<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\nThis look at the need for one-on-one, heart-changing conversations will remain relevant for as long as the abortion debate continues. “The job of the pro-life movement is simply to exist and never, ever give up.”<\/em><\/p>\n![\"Top](\"https:\/\/test.weneedalaw.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Top-10-9-1024x556.jpg\")

#8: Addressing Fetal Pain<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\nScience\u00a0shows consistent stress and pain reactions in fetuses, even before they reach a viable age for life outside the womb. This is horrifying when considered in light of what happens in an abortion,\u00a0but should also be central in advances in prenatal surgery. “Our laws need to reflect the humanity of the second patient in fetal surgeries, honouring the mothers who choose to give their babies a chance as well as the doctors who pour their talents into such tiny, fragile patients.”<\/p>\n

#7: Are Canadian dollars contributing to gender-based violence around the world?<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\nWhen the United States announced this year that they would\u00a0pull funding from international organisations funding abortions, Canada was quick to step in with a starting offer of $20 million. On International Women’s Day,\u00a0we wrote about the irony of giving millions of dollars to fund abortion overseas. Sex-selective abortion targets girls disproportionately more than boys, contributing to the devaluing of women we claim to want to lift up.<\/p>\n

#5: Human rights trump women’s rights<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\nThis has become a counter-cultural idea in Canadian society, as the pro-abortion movement tries to put the rights of women above the right to life of all humans. While women absolutely need equal rights to men, that does not include the right to kill their children, just as we would not allow men to do this without consequences.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nThe big good news story of 2017! We went to court alongside pro-life blogger Patricia Maloney to argue an exception that blocked abortion statistics from Freedom of Information requests. The courts agreed that the exemption was unjustified, and Ontario’s abortion statistics are now accessible to the public, just like any other taxpayer funded medical procedure.<\/p>\n

#3: Canada Funding Abortion in the Democratic Republic of the Congo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n To those who noticed the erroneous\u00a0Dominican\u00a0<\/em>Republic of the Congo in the Facebook post, thank you for graciously overlooking that and reading the article anyway \ud83d\ude42 This powerful post was written by articling student Tabitha Ewert, and draws attention to a truly tragic use of Canadian money abroad.<\/p>\n The outrage that ensued when abuse of chickens by chicken catchers in British Columbia was revealed was swift and certain. Director Mike Schouten, proud owner of some beautiful backyard chickens, understood the outrage – and wishes it would extend to how we treat the most vulnerable members of the human family.<\/p>\n Our #1 post says a lot about you, our incredible supporters. The top post this year was a call to action, a request to contact your MP and call the Prime Minister’s office. This was the post that the most of you read and engaged with. Thank you for speaking up for what you, and we, believe in – that taxpayer money should never be spent on abortion, here or anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n Seeing this as our top post is a great encouragement to us that we are part of building a community ready for action, a community that does not give up even when things seem impossible. Thank you for being here in this community with us. We look forward to working with you in the year ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s been a busy year!
