Faye Sonier over at Evangelical Fellowship of Canada has written an excellent piece<\/a> on the recent decision of the Vancouver and Burnaby Crisis Pregnancy Centres announcement that they would not be appealing a court’s decision in a defamation suit against pro-choice activist Joyce Arthur.<\/p>\n

You can read the entire piece here<\/a>, but we include this quote from Ms. Sonier:<\/p>\n

“This report is hugely damaging to CPCs in B.C., as well as the rest of Canada. I understand why the CPCs are not pursuing the suit further. Given how unspecific Arthur was in her allegations, an appeal of the decision would be a tough, uphill and costly legal battle. I like that the CPCs will issue a rebuttal of Arthur\u2019s allegations<\/a>. This is a reasoned response to a near impossible situation.<\/em><\/p>\n

But I\u2019m still frustrated. I\u2019m frustrated that a poorly crafted, government funded report will tarnish the reputation of Canadian CPCs. Unlike Arthur\u2019s shoddy research, CPCs are funded not by tax-payers but by private donors so centres can offer free services and resources to women and families facing unplanned or crisis pregnancies.”<\/em><\/p>\n
