We told you last week that there have been some rumbling in PEI about needing better access to abortion. It’s the only province that doesn’t offer them locally — two doctors need to give permission, and then a woman has to go to a different province. The only exception is women who have “serious medical ...
To keep, or not to keep, that is the question. In movies, it seems like the answer is almost always the former. While our leading ladies may consider abortion, it’s just for a fleeting moment.

Ideological warfare is raging. Abortion debates fill the news every day. Women on both sides are yelling. But, wait, where are all the men? When men and abortions are discussed alongside one another, it is often by anti-abortion groups like the Knights of Columbus. Their argument is that men are hurt emotionally and psychologically when ...
Think abortion providers are murderers? Why not kill them? South Dakota could make it legal. A new bill before the state’s house of representatives would extend “justifiable homicide” to include the protection of a fetus.

An Australian couple is on trial for having an abortion. She was 19, he was 20, and this was the best choice for them at the time. They used drugs to have a medical abortion. They declared them to the customs agents. They followed instructions. They thought everything would be okay. But now she ...
