The campaign to end abortions in Canada as launched by the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform is brutally honest. It shows what abortions are really like: the deliberate killing and dismemberment of very young human beings.

Some would like CCBR to be more polite and thoughtful and not to use graphic images. Should we also be more polite and thoughtful about the pictures we have of the millions of Jews killed in Nazi extermination camps?
 
Canada needs to face the brutal fact that in the midst of our advanced and sophisticated society we allow thousands of young children to be murdered. Too many opinion-makers in Canada want abortion to be taken off the public agenda. They simply want no one to think about it. The CCBR is refusing us this luxury.
 
Abortion in Canada constitutes an horrific violation of human rights. The right to life is the most fundamental of all human rights. All Canadians should be persuaded to give this sober and deep thought.
