LifeSiteNews Fully Stands by Original Report in Wake of National Post Whitewash of St. Joseph's Hospital "Early Inductions"

The LifeSiteNews.com exposé on a London Catholic hospital terminating pregnancies of babies diagnosed with severe disabilities was the subject of a full-page 2216 word article in the National Post Saturday (see nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=1313034)). Author Charles Lewis chose to emphasize mainly one side of the argument, that of Fr. Michael Prieur of the Diocese of London Ontario, which approves at St. Joseph’s hospital use of a procedure called “early induction” on babies who are deemed to have ‘lethal fetal anomalies.’ Despite statements and claims in the Post article that appeared to contradict the LifeSiteNews report, we continue to stand by our thoroughly researched investigative report (lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/dec/08121111.html)).

Thanks for the link to National Post which gives the other side of the story. I’m glad that there is another side to the story.

By the way, the link didn’t work right, here’s the link again:

Actually, Neil, there isn’t. Lifesite news was right from the get go.

There isn’t two sides to the story? Every story has two sides. The right side and the wrong side. But you have to read both to know the facts.

This is awful I sure hope that bishop is serious about investigating the hospital and making changes. sigh

This is so sad. I was born at St Joe’s and since I was a preemie I was there for a long time in the NICU. I can’t understand hospitals/doctors that devote themselves to saving babies also feel justified to kill them if they are disabled in some way. It’s crazy that the parents were told, “Oh it doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic, we have a committee you can speak to!” And this committee can override church law??
