An official transcript sent to LifeSiteNews by the Ontario government confirms that Dalton McGuinty’s Education Minister told media on Wednesday that Catholic schools should not be teaching that abortion is wrong because it is a violation of the government’s newly-enacted anti-bullying bill.

In comments largely ignored or buried by Canada’s mainstream media, Minister Laurel Broten told a press conference at Queen’s Park that Catholic teaching on abortion is “misogyny.”


Premier Dalton McGuinty's office has forwarded queries about Broten's remarks to her office.

“We do not allow and we’re very clear with the passage of Bill 13 that Catholic teachings cannot be taught in our schools that violates human rights and which brings a lack of acceptance to participation in schools,” she said when asked if it’s okay for the schools to encourage pro-life rallies.

In her press conference, Minister Broten went beyond saying that Catholic schools cannot teach their pro-life beliefs, insinuating that they must actually adopt a “pro-choice” position. “We must ensure that women, young girls in our schools, especially highlighted during the week of the first ever Day of the Girl tomorrow, that young girls can make the choices that they make. This is not about being pro-abortion, it is about being pro-choice,” she stated.

Yep.  Another step toward the crucifixion of the Christians.

"You may believe but you may not speak."

All carefully couched in "tolerance" language; newspeak.

Could that Honduran pilot program be a planned opportunity to attract American expats?  Wait for an American company to relocate there.

Sadly, until Christians start taking offense like Muslims they'll get NO respect.

I hope those Catholics stand their ground and do not buckle.
