PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Hello, everyone!
I have good news for you this issue! Bill C-2, raising the age of sexual consent from 14 to 16 years of age, was passed in the Senate and has received Royal Assent. It is now law in Canada. REAL Women was happy to appear as a witness before the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs on February 22, 2008, to support this Bill. At last, some protection for our young people.
I also had the pleasure to be invited to a pre-release screening
of the award winning film “Bella” in Vancouver.
This film won the “People's Choice Award” at the
Toronto Film Festival. It is to be released in only 15 selected
theatres in Canada in April because the distributor doesn't
believe it will be a box office hit. If you hear that this film
is coming to a theatre near you, go see it –- it has both
a pro-life and pro-family message and it seems to me, would
be most effectively directed at older teens and twenty-somethings.
If it is not being shown in your area, call your Theatre Manager
and request that it be shown. The best way to ensure the success
of this film if it is shown in your community is that every
“Bella” performance be sold out for the first two
weekends. Do this by promoting the film with family, friends
and your church community. Go to www.BellaTheMovie.com
or www.BellaFaithNews.com
or www.BellaResources.com
for “Bella” materials and news.
Canada's “Silent No More” organization which
deals with abortion's aftermath is having its first Post Abortion
Healing & Training Conference April 18-20th at Lake Nakamun,
near Edmonton, Alberta. It costs only $150.00 per person,
payable to “Canada Silent No More” and includes
the conference, plus two nights accommodation, 3 meals on Saturday
and breakfast and lunch on Sunday, and the use of the indoor
pool, gym, and hot tub. This conference is critical because
social conservatives need to be trained to answer all the deception
and objections which pro-abortionists throw our way.
The government of Stephen Harper may be defeated by a vote of
non-confidence in the weeks to come. We all must get involved
in electing the candidate who best represents our worldview.
Don't delay —- get active now before Edmund Burke's famous
adage becomes a sad prophecy: Evil triumphs when good men (people)
do nothing.
Til next time!
Laurie
