Rose Mawhorter was protesting with graphic images across the street from Vancouver's notorious abortion clinic, Everywomans Health Center at the corner of Broadway St. and Commercial Drive when she was attacked from behind and thrown violently to the ground. ******* Her assailant ripped Rose's signs from her neck and began running down the street. She threw the signs into the traffic and turned back to the scene of chaos she had left behind and began cursing and swearing at the people who were coming to assist Rose. The attacker continued this screaming and yelling until she was out of earshot of the group and then bolted across the road, running as fast as she could making a clean get away. ******* The perpetrator did not know the entire incident was captured on video tape and this has now been turned over to the Vancouver Police department who said they would have no trouble identifying the suspect. ******* Within minutes of the assault, four police cars arrived and spent considerable resources combing nearby streets in an attempt to locate the suspect. Statements were taken from several witnesses and the video tape and Rose's signs were turned over as evidence. ******* Rose suffered a small laceration on her wrist as well as bruising on her elbow and hip. She was asked by police if she needed an ambulance but said it was not necessary. Asked later how she was feeling, she said she was still a little shook up. ******* Rose wanted to clarify that the incident will not deter her from maintaining her weekly vigil at the abortion location. In fact she said incidents like this are to be expected when one brings a message to society that it does not want to hear. She was not surprised that people who condone killing the smallest of human beings would resort to attacking defenceless, peaceful demonstrators. ******* This traumatic incident also speaks to the need for the continued presence outside abortion facilities and points to the sacrifices some dedicated pro-lifers are making to ensure the voice of the unborn children is not silenced. She will return to her post again on Friday and invites anyone who would like to discuss this issue to come speak with her. "Violence can never be considered an option" Rose stated. "Social justice movements almost inevitably face violent resistance when they successfully challenge accepted injustice. This will be no different for the pro-life movement when we begin to effectively confront our society's sin." ******* John Hof, President, Campaign Life Coalition BC, Box 12045 Murrayville RPO, Langley, BC V3A 9J5, Phone- 604-534-4828, Fax- 604-532-9353, Cell- 604-351-1684, Email- [email protected], Website- www.clcbc.org ********************************************************************************************************* ******* item 2 VANCOUVER ARCHBISHOP GRANTS VICTORY TO PARENTS IN SEX-ED BATTLE ******* From: "LifeSite News" via ******* Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 ******* VANCOUVER, March 25, 2002 (LSN.ca) - Catholic parents across Canada have long struggled with the issue of sex-education programs in Catholic schools. Two of the texts most commonly used in Canadian Catholic schools, "Fully Alive" and "Growing in Love", have come under intense criticism by concerned Catholic parents for their controversial presentation of human sexuality even to very young children. However, a breakthrough in the struggle has occurred for the first time in a Canadian diocese. ******* Archbishop Adam Exner of the Diocese of Vancouver has announced that his diocese will follow the directives of the Holy See on the matter and leave parents in charge of educating their children on sexual matters. ******* Parents in more than nine parishes with the support of their priests rallied against the mandated use of Fully Alive and Growing in Love. Petitions were sent to priests and the archbishop objecting to the programs and quoting the text of the Vatican document "The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality." Those involved with the struggle told LifeSite that the 1995 document, from the Pontifical Council for the Family was indispensable in making their case. ******* While the Office of Religious Education in the diocese had rebuffed parents' requests, Archbishop Exner ruled definitively on the matter Wednesday March 20. He called a meeting of the priests of the archdiocese and responded positively to the parents' requests. ******* Archbishop Exner said that: ******* -the diocese recognizes the primary role of parents in education on matters of sexuality ******* - No classroom teaching on sexuality is to be given at all in Catholic schools before grade 7 ******* - and in grade 7, if anything is to be used in the classroom, the only acceptable material would be the Love and Life program by Ignatius Press (a program favoured by faithful Catholics) ******* - Every parish is to have training sessions to prepare parents for their tasks in educating their own children on these matters and provide them with resources to that effect. ******* To see the document The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality see the Vatican website at: ******* http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/family/documents/rc_pc_family_doc_08121995_human-sexuality_en.html ******* Congratulations to Archbishop Exner for his leadership may be sent to the Chancery office at: [email protected] *********************************************************************************************************
