Pro-life activism is generally manifested in educational, political, and counselling work. These efforts are often mischaracterized as being ideologically driven or confessionally motivated. This paper will demonstrate that even within these different "arms" or "streams," there were substantial differences regarding the most effective means of engaging in pro-life activism. These differences are reflected in factional disputes and organizational fissures. Numerous oral interviews, as well as other sources pertaining to the organizational history of the movement were compiled, and demonstrate the existence of a varied response to the issue. The nature of these disputes highlights the way in which contingency rather than religious or political ideology shaped a response to the issue for different groups of activists. Acknowledgements I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to all who helped me in the process of writing this thesis. With the assistance and expertise of Dr. Alan Gordon and Dr. Keith Cassidy, I was able to bring this study to completion on schedule, and for this I am very grateful. Their patience and time is very much appreciated. A very special thanks to those who agreed to be interviewed for this project. Your willingness to participate, as well as your support and assistance, made this such an enjoyable project to complete. I hope that I have adequately portrayed your personalities and efforts. I would also like to thank a very generous person who donated much of their time to help me edit numerous drafts of this thesis. Your help will not be forgotten. ?

The contentious nature of the issue has given rise to competing claims amongst the active proponents of the pro- choice and pro-life movements. Several studies on the Canadian post-war period demonstrate that this era was one of social, political, and cultural upheaval.1 However, Canadian pro-life activism has not received an appropriate level of attention given its significance as a social movement. Moreover, its historical role has been misunderstood because of its characterization as politically and religiously reactionary. This mischaracterization is based on the assumption that the movement is motivated by emotion or conservative religious belief. The movement's accomplishment in developing varied organizational infrastructures merits consideration for it at one time allowed it to be a relatively potent political and cultural phenomenon in Canada. A contributing factor in the movement's recent absence from Canadian political culture is the demise of several organizations due to personality conflicts and infighting over strategies and goals. Both the initial promise of organizational diversity and its subsequent lack of success based on internal and external contingencies, demonstrate the existence of a structured, diverse, and rational response to a perceived human injustice. '. Several notable examples include, Robert Bothwell, Ian Drummond and John English, Canada since 1945: Power, Politics, and Provincialism, Revised ed. (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1989); Alvin Finkel, Our Lives: Canada After 1945 (Toronto: J. Lorimer, 1997) and the collections in Philip Buckner, ed., Canada and the End ofEmpire (Toronto: UBC Press, 2005) and Magdalena Fahrni and Robert Allen Rutherdale, eds., Creating Postwar Canada : Community, Diversity, and Dissent, 1945-75 (Vancouver: UBC Press, 2008). 1 As will be shown in the first chapter, often overlooked in the study of pro-life activism is the development and maintenance of its organizational infrastructure. Consideration of this endeavour demonstrates that the pro-life movement fits into the larger historical narrative as a rational and politically engaged contingent of society. Chapters two and three will illustrate how coalescence into several, sometimes competing organizational bodies, compelled certain segments of the movement to develop new ideas and methods for engaging political elites and the general public. Thus, an organizational history of the movement demonstrates that contingency rather than religious or political ideology shaped their response to the issue for different groups of activists. Political and cultural conditions influenced the ways in which pro-life activists engaged the issue, and these broader circumstances affected movement leadership in guiding the efforts of their organizations. This was intended to ensure the movement's social relevance, though this was ultimately unfruitful in changing the political, legislative, or judicial circumstances concerning the abortion controversy. Debilitating disagreements tended to absorb much of the energy of these organizations and alienated numerous members. Institutional pro-life activism has historically manifested itself in various forms, and the most organizationally diverse component of the Canadian pro-life movement has been its educational arm. Some notable organizations which have emerged include the Alliance for Life, Canadian Physicians for Life, the Canadian Youth Pro-Life Organization, R.E.A.L. Women of Canada, Life Canada and the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition. The basic mandate of these groups has been to change the "hearts and minds" of the general public, though they have also acted in legislative and judicial arenas by 2 presenting briefs to the government regarding proposed legislation, and by acting as interveners in several court cases. Most groups support and train their own members in pro-life work by establishing social networks and hosting conferences. Several of the organizations have materials provided, as well as distributed by, Life Cycle Books, a Toronto based company which produces numerous pro-life resources. Related to the educational concern with changing "hearts and minds," is the individualized counselling work done through Birthright, for it attempts to convince patrons to carry their pregnancies to term. Project Rachael and Michael House represent more recent organizations which serve a similar function. As these efforts are largely anonymous, and because Birthright maintains a strict policy of confidentiality, it is difficult to document them thoroughly; however, individual counselling may well comprise a large proportion

La politique réformatrice de Mikhaïl Gorbatchev, arrivé à la tête de l’URSS en 1985, provoque un changement de politique de ce gouvernement, réclamé à plusieurs reprises par les parlementaires de l’Opposition. Lors du premier semestre de 1990, les parlementaires canadiens conduisent une vaste étude sur l’avenir des relations entre le Canada et l’Europe, Union soviétique incluse. Si la philosophie générale des conclusions de cette étude diffère de celle de la politique choisie par le gouvernement Mulroney, ce dernier reprend une partie des recommandations des parlementaires. La fin de l’année 1990 marque le début du dépassement de la guerre froide et d’une coopération Est-Ouest renouvelée que les parlementaires canadiens approuvent.

  • Animosity, Ambivalence and Co- Operation
    Animosity, Ambivalence and Co- operation: Manifestations of heterogeneous German Identities in the Kitchener- Waterloo area during and after the Second World War. by Bastian Bryan Lovasz A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2008 ©Bastian Bryan Lovasz 2008 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Much has been written about how the city of Berlin, Ontario – long a centre of Germanic industry and culture in Canada –changed its name to Kitchener in 1916 in the face of anti-German sentiments. Studies by Geoffrey Hayes and Ross Fair have particularly identified how a more acceptable form of German identity evolved in Kitchener after 1918, emphasizing the Pennsylvania Mennonite origins of many of the area‟s first non-native settlers, instead of the continental German identity of much of the citizenry. But what of the Second World War, and the wave of German immigrants that came to Waterloo Region in its aftermath? Through what means did this community of immigrants establish its identity, and come to terms with the legacy of wartime Germany? How did the German community continue to evolve and react to political and social currents reverberating in Europe? This study addresses these questions by examining a number of episodes in the twentieth century that both celebrated and divided local German communities.
