Halifax Protest to Michael Coren's Talk



"Safe abortion... Safe abortion... Dead!" Members of the Feminist League for Agitation Propaganda mostly dressed up in ball gowns race around a circle in front of the Westin Hotel in Halifax, playing a modified version of the game "Duck, Duck, Goose." ...

"My body's nobody's body but mine, you run own body, let me run mine" sing FLAP participants during the demonstration.


I can't believe that we made the sidebar on Jill Stanek's blog! This is the group that gathered outside the Westin Hotel to protest our fundraising dinner on Saturday, April 24. Michael Coren, the guest speaker, gave a talk entitled "Journalist for Life". Michael would have spoken to the protestors, but time did not allow. I wish he had had more time, because he is unafraid to confront anyone on any issue, and he has the arguments to run rings around them.

And Michael has already responded within minutes of being apprised of the article. Read his sharp response here

Update: Wednesday, April 28 - I have posted 3 comments on the Halifax MediaCoop site, none of which has been published. So far, they have only allowed one comment that supported the protestors, of course. Such fair coverage of the issue.

I think that we should challenge feminists on the issue of why they are always out protesting pro-life events, but they never show up to condemn the mistreatment of women in other cultures. For example, feminists have nothing to say about female circumcision practised by certain Muslims, they don't speak up about coerced abortions on Chinese women. They only seem to rally for what matters to them, their sexual license. In reality, they are not true feminists, who would be advocating for real women's rights, they simply want sexual freedom for themselves.

I actually noticed it yesterday on Google News. I laughed. I mean "Safe abortion dead"-- the unintentional hilarity and obliviousness to irony. They looked like a bunch of freaks. Yeah, that's who you want defending your cause. A bunch of arrested adolescents.
