More Support for the Kicking Abortion’s Ass Bill!

 

Woowee! Off to update our Activist Page. Another heavy-hitter has come out in support of Ken Epp’s sneaky backdoor attempt at creating fetal rights, Bill C-484, aka The Kicking Abortion’s Ass Bill.

What heavy-hitter, you ask?

The Centre for Reproductive Loss. (And no, we didn’t forget the linky; the Centre seems not to have a web presence.)

Here’s its mouthpiece messenger:

In related news, advocates of private members bill C-484, the Unborn Victims of Crime Bill, received further support in form of the Centre for Reproductive Loss, which, for over fifteen years, has provided grief care support services to bereaved mothers and fathers whose lives have been affected by miscarriages, stillbirths, infertility and other related losses.

The centre released a statement giving their support to the bill,

“The traumatic loss of a woman’s unborn child by assault or violence intentionally inflicted upon her child, whom she holds dearer than even her own life, can give rise to serious health complications and consequences,” read the statement.

The statement detailed the many sufferings only a mother who has experienced the loss of an unborn child can understand: “The additional traumatic nature of this loss can intensify, compound and prolong her grief. She may suffer from a profound clinical depression or manifest post-traumatic stress disorder. As well, her ability to have other children may be seriously compromised, should she survive the attack, as indeed this may have been the one and only time she would be able to conceive.”

The Centre was founded and is still run by two nurses, Kathleen Gray and Anne Lassance, who have written a book called ‘Grieving Reproductive Loss’, mentioned a lot by fetus-fetishizing bloggers. Here is some info, including this:

Although the Center is non-denominational, Gray notes that its work is apostolic in that it carries out the prophet Isaiah’s admonition to “bind up the broken-hearted.” Its slogan is, “In the grieving is the healing,” and accompanied by someone who cares, clients are helped to work through the grieving process.

But here’s the money shot: this is a http version of a pdf available at LifeShite.

Back in 2006, Gray and Lassance, along with a doctor and a woman named Angelina Steenstra, co-founder of Silent No More (the women who ‘reget’ their abortions and try to terrorize others by lying about the breast cancer link, the so-called post-abortion syndrome, yadayada, check the link), gave a seminar at the medical students forum of the annual meeting of Canadian Physicians for Life.

Title of seminar: ‘The physical and psychological impact of abortion on women’s health.’

We at Birth Pangs venture to guess that the ‘impact’ was pretty dire.

So, check, another fetus fetishizing gang on board.

(Ms Gray was scheduled to speak at Ken Epp’s presser that deBeauxOs reported on here, but could not attend.)

    But it’s not about abortion fern!!! When are you going to accept that? So what if all public advocates of this Bill are anti-choice? It’s just a coinky dink. [/tongue firmly in cheek]

Protecting women's rights is serious business. So here you'll find news and views, facts and figures, drawn from Canada and the rest of the world. At all times, Birth Pangs is written with a recognition that choice is choice. We fully respect a woman's choice to have babies just as much as we respect her choice not to.
