Link Dump: Liberal Candidate, Preemies, Capital Punishment, IVF

Trudeau says pro-life Hamilton Liberal Tassi will vote pro-choice

Anti-fetal-rights female Catholic was chaplain of a Catholic high school, huh?



Mum of a baby left to die after being born at just 22 weeks raises petition calling for rule change
