Stratford and District Right to Life Newsletter June 2019 Newsletter No.154 STRATFORD AND DISTRICT RIGHT TO LIFE IS A PRO-LIFE, non-denominational organization of individuals who believe that all life - before and after birth - has a right to care and protection. We try to serve as a centre of information on the abortion issue, and to reach out to all Canadians concerning the preservation and dignity of human life, and also to urge one to take action in our democratic society. CONTACT US AT Ontario Court of Appeal upholds lower court decision forcing doctors to BOX 21133, refer patients to their death. STRATFORD, ON Alex Schadenberg Executive Director - Euthanasia Prevention Coalition N5A 7V4 The Ontario Court of Appeal in its decision concerning physicians conscience rights in Ontario, PAT BANNON upheld the lower court decision. T EL : 519-273-1616 [email protected] The Court found that physicians who challenged the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario www.stratfordright2life.ca (CPSO) policy requiring physicians to make an "effective referral" for Medical Aid in Dying (euthanasia and assisted suicide) and other morally contentious issues, that their Charter rights UPCOMING EVENTS were infringed by the policy, but the infringement is reasonable in a free and democratic society. MONTHLY MEETINGS 1:00 P.M The CPSO policy is different than other jurisdictions since the policy requires an "effective referral" 4TH TUESDAY MONTHLY, which means that a physician must refer patients to a physician who is willing to carry-out the act. EXCEPT DECEMBER In the case of euthanasia it means that a physician who opposes killing his/her patients must send ST. JOSEPH’S MEETING his/her patients to a physician who will kill. ROOM The key problem with this decision is it negates the reality that an effective referral does force STRATFORD physicians, who oppose killing, to participate in the act. The court suggests that the decision PICKETING "strikes a reasonable balance between patients' interests and physicians' Charter protected WATCH FOR DETAILS THAT religious freedom" but in fact it is not a reasonable limit prescribed by law in a free and democratic WILL SEE US PICKETING IN society. STRATFORD The objecting physicians only asked that they not be required to directly refer their patients and MOVIE NIGHT that Ontario bring-forth a policy similar to Alberta that enables physicians to inform patients that “UNPLANNED” Medical Aid in Dying can be accessed through a government toll free number. COMING SOON!!! What is also missing in the decision is the fact that many patients seek a physician who will not kill them. We have the right to seek medical assistance from a physician who shares our beliefs. Why PRAYER CALENDAR should people who believe in killing be the only healthcare consumers who have "rights" in the INTENTIONS medical system? I think another error in the decision is the assumption that MAiD (euthanasia and assisted suicide) An end to abortion, are healthcare. euthanasia, and assisted suicide; help for all women in In fact, the federal legislation legalized MAiD by defining it as an exception in the criminal code. crisis pregnancies; protection for the The defeat at the Ontario Court of Appeal is concerning, especially considering who is sitting on the right of families Supreme Court of Canada, if an appeal is sought. affected by abortion; in support of The physicians and organizations involved in the case need to fully examine the decision and conscience rights for possibly consider alternative solutions to this problem, such as, convincing Provincial governments our doctors, nurses, to protect conscience rights, such as the Manitoba legislation or helping to elect a federal and health care government that will protect conscience rights through federal legislation, such as David workers Anderson's Bill C 418.

    Joint Statement Calling for Sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong Officials and Protection for Hong Kongers at Risk of Political Persecution

    Joint statement calling for sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong officials and protection for Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Canada to take action in light of the mass arrests and assault on civil rights following the unilateral imposition of the new National Security Law in Hong Kong. Many in Hong Kong fear they will face the same fate as the student protestors in Tiananmen Square, defenders’ lawyers, and millions of interned Uyghurs, Tibetans, and faith groups whose rights of free expression and worship are denied. We urge the Government of Canada to offer a “Safe Harbour Program” with an expedited process to grant protection and permanent residency status to Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution under the National Security Law, including international students and expatriate workers who have been involved in protest actions in Canada. Furthermore, Canada must invoke the Sergei Magnitsky Law to sanction Chinese and Hong Kong officials who instituted the National Security Law, as well as other acts violating human rights; and to ban them and their immediate family members from Canada and freeze their Canadian assets. Canada needs to work closely with international allies with shared values to institute a strong policy toward China. It is time for Canada to take meaningful action to show leadership on the world stage.

    A Message from Jeremy: Dear Constituent, It's Hard to Believe That

    A Message from Jeremy: Dear constituent, It’s hard to believe that we’re already nearing the end of May! But this means we’re even closer to summer (allegedly), and it also means it’s time for another end-of-the month update. This month, Conservatives have had a number of successes in the House of Commons. Most notably, three important Private Members Bills from my Conservative colleagues were passed in one day. These include Bill C-208, which will make it easier for families to transfer their business or farm to their children; Bill C-220, which will give Canadians more time off following the death of a loved one; and Bill C- 210, which will make it easier to register as an organ donor. Unfortunately, another important piece of legislation, Motion 61, which would signal federal support for the Canadians oil and gas sector, was voted down by all other parties. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Conservatives are the only party who will stand up for the industry that’s vital to securing economic stability in our country. View of the Peace Tower from Major Hill’s Park, Ottawa. Many of you are likely wondering where Bill C- 10 (otherwise known as the Liberal censorship Bill) is at. I assure you that my Conservative colleagues and I have used every tool in our toolbox to try stop this outrageous legislation, but as it stands now, the Bloc and NDP have signalled they’ll stand with the Liberals and support it. As such, Conservative members at the Heritage Committee are introducing amendments to ensure Canadians’ Charter rights and freedoms are protected with every iteration of the bill.
